Everyday I wonder why
A grown man like me need needs to cry
To feel so low and deep and deep down inside
Feeling like I need to hide.
To feel tired like i have to fight
To even make one day look alright
Why a grown man like man me need to cry
I always wonder why i think i need to die.
I suffer with Depression thats no lie.

Anyone who says that they don't are telling lies as we all suffer from it at some point in our lives some more some less but we all do. Go to your doctor tell him or her they will help ,they have helped and are helping me. |

My serious advice which can be difficult to follow but WILL work:
Go to your doctor
Talk to your friends. Face to face and not online.
Get out of the house for a walk at least 40 mins a day
Ask a friend (s) to be a walk buddy with you
Cut down or preferably cut out booze
Give of yourself to others
Please Do This Buddy IT WILL WORK |

Start taking stuff easy man. Problems doesn't exist, only attitude towards them. Treat yourself someway. Get a long bath, go for walk, go to sauna, listen to music. World is beautiful, people on it too. We are just blind. Take care. |

Dont know you Biggs...but I would advise staying away from fab and try to get some real time face to face help either from counselling or real world friends...
..there have been links with various types of social media overuse and depression albeit tenuous...but go chat friends and get support...in real time |

Biggs a very honest post my friend about an illness that many try to hide. Depression or indeed any other Mental Illness is nothing to be ashamed about and it knows no boundaries to whom it cam effect...
As many on here know I work in events 7 exhibitions and in doing so work personally with many household names in football, sport and music world who earn hundreds of thousands of pounds weekly but who are blighted by this illness which their money doesn't cure.
Some here have already passed on some very good advise and I ask you take it on board but one you must always do is TALK to people...DO NOT bottle anything up and if possible talk face to face with friends rather than online so that you can express your feelings better..
Remember you are not alone with this illness and Friends Can Help....So Talk |

Glad to hear you're stepping back and happier you seem to know how it has to be treated. I always try to look on the bright side: it's a terrible affliction but the bonus is when those who have experienced depression themselves have good times/friends/events they tend to really enjoy the experience because they know how good it is compared to the alternative. Carpe Diem didn't become popular for nothing.
Good luck bud with it. You'll do ok.  |

There is this stigma in ireland for males esp, to admit they have a illness be it Erectile ds, depression or testular cancer etc. I applaude u bigs for not bottling it up and facing it. Some great advise here and i am sure the fact u can confide in an online forum that u can confide in your family and friends. Be strong and you'll be fine bud. |

I still get shit days and been a man I do sometimes feel bad when I find myself with tears running down my face. But ya know what I tell myself pal."you can hide from the monsters, you can run from them for ever.....or face the fuckers and fight them and learn to recover, I my friend hope to make a full speedy recovery.....
Oh and stay away from the booze when your having a bad day. I've looked, there isn't a answer in the bottom of any bottle. So brother get the Chin up, prepare to take it on the chin, and recover..... |

Wow I must say I'm touched by the positive reactions of members to this thread. How nice and heartwarming.
Biggles is a decent fella, always posts positively in forums, so it's lovely to see other members show such wonderful support. I wish I could give you some advice but I wouldn't know where to start.
But we Sugars are rooting for you all the way! Chin up Biggles, the forums wouldn't be as bright without your contributions |

Sorry to hear that you are having a bad time dude. Others have advised seeking medical help and you should. But do not let your doctor prescribe SRB's or other anti depressants and nothing else. Enquire about Counselling in primary care. (CIPC). Drugs will work shift term but they create a false sense of wellness.
Exercise, talking to friends, leisure time will all help. It's easy to tell someone to keep the chin up and you'll be grand.
Godspeed biggles. Hope you are ok kid. |

Sometimes the person who tries to keep everyone happy is the loneliest person.
Can't understand what your going through Biggs but really hope you find peace. Learn to love yourself is the only advice I could offer. Maybe every night before u sleep recount something positive you did that day and the each morning when you stand in the front of the mirror look yourself in the eye confidently and smile as your a good person. |

Biggs I'm sorry for your struggle, the fact that you can acknowledge there is an issue and want to get better is such a massive first step. Please get the help you need and take a step back from here. It's not the right place to be right now. Take time for yourself and trust and believe in the love and light you've been shown here today, we're all rooting for you xxxx |

Interesting thread. I never imagined saying so publicly but I suffer massively with depression. Its not always obvious to others. Its not so taboo anymore. Anyway, I wish I could help more but all I can say is what helps me. Routine, lots of exercise, healthy diet. This is really helping me at the moment. A tired body stops you from over thinking everything. Hope this helped a little. |

I don't know you personally but I do know depression..... it is one of the hardest things to fight but it can be done... let others help you, talk to friends who will understand n not judge... try to think of a happy memory each day
And most importantly do not feel guilty about your feelings.....
Get well soon xx D |

Biggles you are clearly a great guy and much loved in the world of fab and in the real world too. We have huge respect for your post and no doubt you will help others by your post too because as they say it's good to talk and it's ok not to feel ok. Everything passes in time as this dark cloud will too keep strong seek help and don't be tough on yourself. We all need a helping hand in life. No man is an island. |

You are not alone Depression has been a dark cloud over my life since I was a late teenager I used to think it was just shyness as a young man feeling tired all the time no interest in stuff tossing n turning trying to sleep at night I been to my doctor bout my sickness they just prescribe pills they help though alot you have to stick to the program trying to talk to others bout it can help but alot of the time people don't understand they say he's not well suffers with his nerves depression is a chemical imbalance lack of happy cells in the brain your gp is the way to go there's no quick cure it takes time but worth it if you follow through on the medication best of luck but fight through |

Sometimes the hardest part is wearing a mask and pretending everything is fine.
You can be surrounded by people yet still be alone.
The black dog is hard to beat and by opening up to others that also have it Is a great help.
Staying positive is not always easy during the tough times but stay strong as you are not alone in the struggle. Love and hugs. Xxx |

Depression is only a small part of your life but because of its negative impact it can cast a vale over every aspect of your world. You may think there is no way out but there is. It's quite simple really. Talk about your thoughts. Talk about your worries. A problem shared is a problem halved. This is very true. You can't see the way out of the darkness because your deep deep in it. Explaining to a kind ear helps you vent but it also gives you access to a resolution from someone not caught in the depressive low. I've been there and I've helped friends and strangers walk out of the darkness with a new outlook on life. Message us when your ready and I'll send you my number. Morning noon or night you can call. Rant or rave, all I'll do is listen and hopefully help.
I hope this message finds you well.

Read before for every bad thought you need 3 good ones to counteract, so instead of trying to worry or fix bad thoughts instead put all your focus on things that make u happy! The more happy things you do the less impact a negative one will have! It does work and the more time you do fun stuff the less time you think of the bad! |

Biggles darling,
I know we haven't met so I'm not sure how much value my comment will have to you.
But from all the responses you can see on this thread, it's clear you have support from everyone. You are valued by so many of us.
We all go through rough times and I think most of us have battled depression at some point. Know you're not alone.
Your posts always contribute positively to the forum, make people laugh and are a ray of sunshine in this sometimes harsh environment.
Don't ever change. From what I've seen and what I've heard you are an amazing guy.
I hope you're well

Iv lived with depression for over 20 years Biggs. There is light at the end of the tunnel. You probably think that's easy for me to say given that I'm at the other end of the tunnel at the minute. It's a horrible illness! But if you need a shoulder pm me babe. Sometimes it's easier talking to a stranger

I told a fab friend about my life with depression last week. I'm not even sure how we got on the topic. It's something I've been battling since I was about 14, maybe younger. It's not a permanent thing and I could go two years without being affected but when it hits it hits hard.
For me it doesn't seem to be triggered by life events but the analogy I used was standing on the shore line being as happy as larry looking out at the waves rolling in. You see a dark cloud on the horizon, you know what it is and you know you can't outrun it. When it hits it like that kinda rain that physically hurts when it hits you. Sometimes you can wait it out and it will pass, sometimes it doesn't. Admitting it makes you a bigger more powerful man than most, I hope you have more good days than bad |

U mite not realise it Biggs but ur braver than u know for raising such a stigmatised subject as mental health on a public forum, many wud shy away frm doin so.. so credit where credits due. Theres a brilliant video on youtube called Living with a Black Dog that seems to sum depression up.. the key to living with this illness is to not b too hard on urself on bad days, have a lazy day and not feel guilty about it.. Seek professional help and talk to friends about how ur feeling, it helps to get others prospective on ur thots sumtimes.. My motto is `Its jus a bad day, not a bad life` (Big Hugs) xx |

"Its ok not to feel ok. Talk to someone mate. "
It's ok not to feel ok and it's ok to ask for help....simple words hard to implement. Never judge someone until you walk in their shoes...all true. |

Just to add to my earlier post. When I was about 17 I was having a bad enough bout of depression. I went to my school counsellor which thankfully was a really sound guy.
He told me he to suffered with depression and his way of managing it was to stay fit. He paid for three months gym membership for me and I've never looked back. The primary reason I workout/hike/cycle or kickbox is not to look good. It's my way of self medicating without having to take anti depressants and so far it works for me. That said I would happily take tabs if I was told to.
I also have two close real world friends, both female who I can talk to which in itself is worth its weight in gold. We all have our coping mechanisms. Mine happens to be fitness |

Not so much anymore due to shift work and breaking two bones in my hand in the opening 30 seconds of my last fight. Fizzle stick fingers  . Thumb keeps dislocating so I kinda had to give it up. I gave up fighting to take up loving  |

Ok here goes!!!
Been suffering from this with years and have been too stubborn to go see a doctor or talk to anyone. I've been on the edge so so many times and even attempted it once, which lucky for myself after a few days in hospital pulled threw. Said to the nurses inside I'd go see someone about the issue but never did cause Me been the stubborn fuck that I am said. Sure what will they do for me. wasn't till only early last year that I agree to see my doctor and have a chat with him twice a week. Put me on tablets and since then I've never felt so good about myself and life in a very long time and still am. It's helps to talk to people even tho it's hard to open its well worth it and I mean that. Head up Bud |

First thread I've seen on here in a long term where real compassion has been shown. Others have bared their souls too which is very admirable commendable and brave. I hope someone can pass all the good wishes on to Biggs....hope he's soon if not already on the road to recovery. |

Go to your doctor. Call peata house. Sometimes it's better to talk to a stranger who will not judge you and will laugh at your swinger Stories and say "did you really do that" it can actually be fun you are not alone. You would be very surprised about how many people would miss you in there life. Weather the storm. |

I personally had a very shitty tough year,some of ye know me personally some don't, but it was one of the toughest times I've ever had, harder than losing both my parents, the majority of people were fantastic,but it's also allowed me to see others in a different light too,people who took advantage of my vulnerability!!People who used me...
However there are very good people on here too,honest,genuine and decent people,and they are the people who help me get through the tough times...
Thankfully the past few weeks I feel I'm coming back to myself, I feel that I'm beginning to laugh again and enjoy the scene and the craic...
Depression is something nobody likes to admit they have but always remember..
When things are bad,Remember...
It won't always be this way...
Take one day at a time...
This too shall pass...
