Once I've recognised that I've started down a dark path I try to calmy walk myself through my emotions and understand where these feelings are coming from in the most pragmatic and level-headed way I can.

I also have a friend that I can call day or night and she knows she can call me at anytime.

I don't think we were designed to live in a fast-paced world like this. Sometimes we need time out.

Exercise, the endorphins help..

socialise, getting out the house and seeing friends can people realise they aren’t alone.

Get mobile any way I can. A change of scene, the enorphins. Both seem to help.

Sorry if you’re going through it OP. Sometimes it’s like weather. It passes, but has to be endured.

Exercise is 100% effective, the blood pumping around clears your mind and body, I feel 10 times better after a workout,which at the moment is mainly swimming but any sweaty workout is good for your mind

"yes when your head full of shit what do you guys do"

First thing is that you recognise that you have an issue.

Second is making a decision to allow it to control you or you take control.

Sometimes that is easy and sometimes it's not easy.

I find that I am more vulnerable when tired so that's the first thing I action, I recognise I'm tired so ignore all of the emotional noise and get a good sleep. That usually sorts it.

However if its something bigger and still bothers me then the very best thing is to talk to someone about it.

The person you have the issue with (work or personal) or a trusted friend or 2. Failing that a support group or medical help.

I hope this had helped.

Don't forget

Everything is only temporary. All things change with time

Try getting some exercise and talking to people close to you, or just keep talking. Try to write your feeling down, it might help. If you feel this way for a few weeks, it’s ok to reach out to your GP for support. You are not alone.
