RH33 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 It’s so common at this time of year. Routines are out window. Forced jollity and family politics. I get the being in a roomful people but being lonley. It’s not unusual. PM me if you need get stuff off chest. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Watched a bit of a Jake Tyler Ted talk where he spoke about depression and got onto the subject where his counsellor asked him why he wanted to end it and was it 1 he wanted to die or 2 he just wanted it to stop (depression). Had a watch of some of the Eckhart Tolle stuff and trying to take on board some of that goes on about the mind always living in the past or the future and trying to stop thinking about the mind focus on breathing or steps etc i.e. be aware of your thoughts but focus on something else. felt myself ready to burst into tears earlier and tried putting it into practice seems to work. All the best for 2020 guys none of us are alone with this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is the second time I've posted on this thread and I'm really appreciative of the support network on here. Thanks for the few that PM'd me. Sure I'll be fine, just these past few weeks have been tough and will continue to be so until I'm back at work and in my routine again. Just getting a little off my chest and posting in this thread helped and then yourself and the guys that PM'd me, thanks so much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'm going to echo what others are saying here tonight. 2019 has been a tough year on many levels and frankly, I'm glad to see the back of it. However, I want to say thanks to everyone for the help, not just for me but for all of us who've been in need. Speaking personally, it's been invaluable. Here's to a better 2020, for all of us! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Apologies if this sounds cuntish but 2019 has been the best year for me since I acknowledged my issues. Certainly not flawless and I have a way to go but I feel like I’m back in control. It’s hard work but I’m absolutely fine with that. It’s brilliant reading others stories in here and can’t wait to see more success stories in 2020. Yours, a slightly drunk dons fan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 2 hours ago, Ludo*1 said: Having a real bad one today. Came off all meds approximately 6 month ago and been coping fine, but now that I've been off work due to the holiday season, all sorts of bad thoughts come rushing back. When I have too much time to think, I get really down. Spending the New Year with the missus and a few mates, therefore I can't explain why I'm feeling lonely as hell. I won't go into the dark thoughts I've had, but I just wanted to get stuff off my chest by posting here. The anxiety, crippling self-doubt and feelings of uselessness have been building ever since the day I came off work. The shorter daylight hours never help this time of year either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Sorry to post here but I don’t know where else to go. This has turned out to be the worst day ever. I caught my partner last March/April cheating on me when he got pissed and I saw texts from him to a married woman. He said they ended it and we decided to try again.We tonight I found some more so it’s still going on. He’s left the house. He’s really drunk (because we were at the pub earlier) and doesn’t have many clothes with him so I am stupidly worrying about him. I destroyed his phone when I found the texts so can’t even call him.We were together 14 years. I just can’t take it. He was my best friend, we spent so much time together and I don’t find making friends easy so I am pretty much alone without him. I know it’s pathetic, I AM pathetic. I know it. I tried to cut my arm but the knives here aren’t even sharp enough.I can’t stand it. I can’t stand myself for letting myself get to this. I can’t even hate him enough not to fucking worry about him. WTF is wrong with me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds glib but he isn't your priority right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is wrong with me? That's a huge thing to find out - so please don't think you're over-reacting. Nothing is wrong with you. Don't worry about him in the slightest. He'll cope, and at some point he'll be back to try and sort something out. Is there anyone you can talk to about this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t talk to my family as, although I get in brilliantly with them, they can tend towards telling me what to do and flying off the handle and basically I don’t want anyone to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
