Unfortunately life is never easy OP and we as men are sometimes worse off because we keep it all inside.
Sometimes OP is best to face it and get over and done with and it will get easier in the long run whatever it maybe |

Or not only does it knock you down, it keeps you pinned under that rock.
It will get better, I wish I could give you more wisdom right now OP but I have none to give. I hope you find a way to get back up  |

If there is one person you trust and feel like you would be able to help them with something if they came to you with a similar issue/issues i find that they are sometimes the best to help I hope youbfind someone that you can talk to, people are often difficult at times to talk to I know, if you have a pet even telling them everything can sometimes even help! |

Life's a bitch. At times. If you feel able you could write a forum thread about what about life is specifically getting you down.
Everyone goes through low moments and moments of doubt. And you will not be alone on the forums feeling like that.
Sometimes sharing - even to a bunch of people on the internet - can help as others may chip in with problems they are having and you will see you are not the only one. And some will come with advice.
You are not alone in how you are feeling.
If you feel very low and can't see a way out then it may be time to contact your GP and seek some help that way. You can always go through the symptom checker on 111.nhs.uk or phone 111 to get some advice. |

You have the strength OP, it’s in you. I’ve been down in that hole too, and I know that no matter how many people tell you they’ve been there and they’ve felt that way, at this moment in time it feels like you are the only one down there. You will get out of that hole my brother, take it one day at a time. Or even one hour at a time, or even one minute. You’ll get there. |

I have been at rock bottom a few years ago, you just have to focus on happy memories, and the times you have been down and it has gotten better, and remind yourself there will be more happy memories to make if you keep pushing through.
Unless suffering with a mental health disorder, sadness is just another emotion and it shall too pass, we cant be happy constantly because life just does not work that way.
Keep focusing on the future and what you want from it and push through x |

OP, you've posted a lot on the forums about lack of interaction on fab and how it gets you down. If you're expecting it to provide a route of resolution and happiness for you, you'll continue with disappointment.
Unless you make changes in personal life or seek formal support, you'll continue in this rabbit hole.  |

"I cant see a way thought right now"
If you'd have asked me a few weeks ago what my future looked like I'd have told you... shit, loveless, lifeless.
That's changed now. Sometimes time is what's needed. However not knowing what it is you'd like to change, we can't offer ideas.
If this mood has been ongoing for some time it may be worth going to your GP

I've had many lows in life. I always just say to myself whatever I'm feeling today or what's happening in NY life today, this time next week/ next month/next year, today is a memory, I got through it |

I’ve had a really shit couple of years including cancer, major operations and subsequent treatment with issues and now redundancy.
What I’ve learned is that when I go to hospital I look and feel relatively healthy when others are much worse, while I have a few pounds in my wallet others are sleeping g on the street. No matter how bad things are someone is worse off and still getting in with life.
Head up it will get better, just takes time |

"I'm not used to people being nice to me.. I find it really hard to take compliments"
You and me both, sir. In fact, I had one in a PM a few weeks back and it made me cry 
Sounds like depression to me. There's no miracle cure, unfortunately, but I have just done a 5 day challenge online, run by The Man Coach through the book of faces and it has given me a new perspective. Still going to be a long road, though. But might be worth checking it out for yourself? |

Keep posting on the forums and joining in with some of the more lighthearted/games threads. I've found I enjoy doing the photo challenges - which is something new to me and gets my mind thinking. |

Here you go, fella
Not sure if this will let me post links to other sites, but I'll try
https://www.fac.ebook.com/thema.ncoachJB
Here's his personal site:
https://thema.ncoach.boardm.anjames.com/about-me
Take out the spurious full stops, obviously 
Failing that just Google James Boardman and it should come up easily enough
And go for it! Being an ex-marine he's very much of the mindset that mental health improves as physical health does, and within that I've been out on my bike for an hour tonight....  |

"Thankyou will have a look"
Good man!
I've just done his free 5-day challenge last week, and it's given me a new perspective on a few things and is worth it. The next one starts on 2nd November if it's any use to you.
And for what it's worth, I'm struggling at the moment, too. I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, although the counselling I've been recommended for is probably a year away yet 
If you want to talk privately, then I'm happy to do so. I've got single men blocked, but ping me a friend request and we can talk then, if you'd like? |
