You good bro?"
I’ve suffered from depression for a while. Diagnosed with depression and anxiety when I was about 19. It pops up now and then. This is a rough time but I’m still alive and I’m still fighting. So it’s ok |

"Sending love and strength Pickles. Amazing to see you cheering others on when you're not quite there yourself. You sir, are special  "
I’m definitely not. But I do care a lot about mental health
Thanks for the love and strength, you! X |

I’m alive! And that’s really the most important thing. |

I was diagnosed years ago with dysthymia its a condition meaning permanent low mood
Normal if there is a normal is on a good day low. On a bad day very bad
Frustrating because and I think we all put on a mask to make those who do not know us think we are life and soul.
Do not get me wrong I love a laugh and sex oh and more sex ??
Various other neurological stuff but I am a stubborn twat which can help lol |

Keep fighting and keep pushing. I admire your honesty here. And that takes a lot of accepting of yourself. |

Literally if I don’t joke about my trauma or unaliving I’ll actually need to get a personality |

Mixed at the moment
Knowing most days I am going to wish wasn't here and have to think of a reason to keep going, no matter how stupid it is.
Tiring trying to explain that to people who from the outside seem to assume everything is perfect.
Wanting a pause button as tired of explaining what I do with my days |

Without folk being open and honest mental health whilst things have progressed stigma still applies |

Some days better than other.
Been up and down since I was 14.
Always happy to listen/have a conversation with anyone if they want/need it.
However bad you think it is, there is always hope, there is always something to live for, people who would be distraught if you were no longer here.
It is always darkest before the dawn xx |

I once phoned the Samaritans, when things were really bad, and the guy said he couldn’t talk and hung up on me. Feeling that I had been rejected even by the Samaritans put me in a really dangerous place. I will never stop hating them. |

Mostly ok, home life is great, money isn't much of an issue (for the times we are in) but suffering a little in the work department, not because I don't love my job, I bloody love it, one of my managers is giving me so much anxiety and starting to make me hate going in when I know she is there but I'm not the only one that feels like that, I'm sure it will get sorted soon but this is the only thing in my life that is causing my mental health to me a little strained right now x |

That's an awful, terrible experience! But the reality is that they're volunteering, and nobody is actually qualified as a mental health professional. The whole point of the service is that they're supposed to be a 'listening' one. Not expected to give advice, certainly not to hang up!... Its a listening vent I guess? An outlet for those feeling low, and at triggered points. But in no way is it a legit counselling service, nor anything close! I'm sorry you had such a poor experience though  |

"Gremlins. Gremlins everywhere
They move stuff around the little fuckers.
They say horrible things and cause a ruckus in my skull"
Oh I can't stand those ones. Yes I know I fucked up and got triggered again. I don't need reminding thanks, yes yes I know thank you critical parent gremlin it's all my fault, I'm a stupid waste of space. |

Doing okay, generally fairly resilient. Last week was a tough week felt quite homesick & struggling at work and with the heat so took off for the weekend but arriving back now & nothings really changed! |

Feel horrid and wish I could exit this mortal coil. I've made arrangements with Pegasus and my physician is aware of this. I explained it was another weapon in my arsenal and hopefully won't have to go through it but it's like a security net.  |

I don't like Samaritans,I had a similar experience. I much prefer breathing space. |
