Get it off your chest to someone ring the samarathans don’t keep it bottled up. A problem shared is a problem halved. We all feel down at times. It’s ok not to be ok |

Don’t be afraid... find someone to chat to, it doesn’t have to be family if you are worried about worrying them but a doctor, nurse, samaritans, a work colleague... there is always someone willing to listen, the hard part is asking xx |

Call the Samartians on 116 123 this is a freephone number.
Its better to call and speak about why you are feeling so down. They wont ask your name or any personal details.
Take Care xx |

Op take a deep breath the hardest part is admitting your not feeling great, call someone you can talk to or call the Samaritans, this time of year can be very hard.

Just remember there's lots of us out there possibly more here on fab? I sometimes wonder why we're here, looking for that little extra, maybe an escape from the norm that most people can deal with..your not alone remember that. |

Find the one of the people who matter most and you trust and confide in them , this won't get any better by keeping it to yourself , you will find it's far more common than you think |

Please call someone. We all know people that went too long before reaching out.
You did the hardest part by admitting you are struggling. Reaching out to the Samaritans or family and friends may sound daunting now but you will feel a weight lifted if you can just take one more step and make that call.

But do talk to someone though  |

OP. You are never alone even when you feel you may be. I know all too well that feeling of feeling low.
I have suffered depression before in the past but since my partner passed away in October it has hit me harder than it ever has before. There will be good days and bad days but ya just gotta ride the rollercoaster and I promise the darkness WILL pass.
For example, yesterday was one of my worst days. I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed and face life (without her) so I didn't rise til 8pm.
The bathroom may as well have been on the other side of the country and the kitchen may as well have been on the other side of the planet.
My achievements yesterday were that I cleaned the dishes and did some laundry. Other people would maybe laugh at me seeing those as achievements but the point is that I did those two things despite a dark cloud hanging over me.
This morning I thought how my partner would despair if she saw me in the state I was in so I got up more determined not to let the day get away from me.
I started off with a shower and shave. There is something about feeling fresh that makes one feel better.
I cooked a meal and fired it in the slow cooker.
I cleaned the house from top to bottom.
Went out for a drive (a change of scenery can help).
Then I went to football training in the evening. (Physical exercise can also be good for mental health).
If you are ever feeling so low that you start to get bad thoughts then please, please, please, like some mentioned above, reach out to someone close to you. You won't be a burden. In fact those who truly care about you would want you to reach out to them so they can support you and help you.
If you feel you cannot reach out to someone close, then, as also mentioned above, consider phoning the Samaritans. These people are very well trained and are genuinely caring and compassionate. Sometimes it can be easier to talk to a stranger or outsider who will be unbiased.
Also consider seeing your GP as maybe anti depressants would help though it can be trial and error to find the one that works best for each person.
Also consider other things I have mentioned. A nice warm soothing bath and pampering oneself can leave you feeling better about yourself.
Getting things done around the house or on your to do list can give you small senses of achievement. If you don't already have a to do list consider writing one out and it can give you something to aim for each day by working your way through it.
Getting out of the house for a drive or even a walk can be good as it is a change of scenery and can help clear the mind.
Physical exercise is also really good as it releases endorphins which is the body's natural form of antidepressants and better than anything that can be prescribed for you (according to my GP). For me it can be long distance running but there are many forms of exercise..... walking, aerobics, swimming etc. I have found exercise to be really good in the past for low moods and depression.
Lastly, I don't know your lifestyle and it's not for me to judge, but it is advisable to cut out or cut down on alcohol intake during periods of low mood as alcohol is a depressant and can make a person feel worse.
We're all behind you and there are any amount of us here on the forums willing to help and support you in any way we can any time you ask.
I've noticed from time to time on these forums that there tends to be the odd person who posts about having a low mood or bad depression.
It has had me toying with the idea of setting up a Kik support group for those people on here who wish to avail of it though I'm not quite sure if one would work or that it wouldn't have any teething problems. I'll give it some more thought though. |
