Really depressed

Yup, looks like health problems are behind me and apart from creaky joints (to be expected at my age) I feel better than I have in a long time. Next year I'll be 70 (!) so I'm thinking of as many daft things to do as possible - carpe diem and all that.
What kind of fish is that ??!!

Great to this thread still running and that you are still on the up and still feeling good and doing well .
It’s amazing how life can change . Especially when we hit that low and can’t even see how we gonna make it out of bed to what we can build back up to . Keep updating rob as it is often others stories that help others in times of need
So nice to read , do I have it sussed? Nope but working on it , have things improved? Massively! This thread , meds , and my friends I've needed all 3 , and the best message? Went from the lowest part of my life to the best , went from not wanting to live to enjoying life , best bit of advice , talk to your best friend s all the best and so thankful robIt’s amazing how life can change .

Hope it's ok but want to update this thread so hopefully it will help others , so got a new role , everything I could want : more money ,company car , Monday to Friday so can see kids more, going really well but in last 2 days for no reason , paranoid feelings kicked in, lack of confidence to deal with anything , thinking the worse and above all so scared of having no control of my mind and what if I go back to how I was ! Guess that's the broken wiring in my head , it took a conversation with my best mate , and only because I was 100% honest with my fears and putting any shame to one side and suddenly the weight was lifted , hope this is helpful , the lesson learnt for me today was you may want to be strong you may be embarrassed but please if you are struggling talk to someone , hope this doesn't sound strange but im here if anyone needs to talk

A common theme after you have been through what you have Rob is that when things go the other way and you start to do well it often leads to feelings of guilt and that you don’t derserve it. This can be more damaging that then depression itself and is sometimes the thing that tips people over. The right way to deal with it is to talk as you say. Nobody is nuts or crazy or anything like that we are all different and if people just talked more and earlier we could kick this depression thing. Well done mate
Hi all ,long time not speak , just wanted to say hello especially as Christmas is such a sensitive time, nothing to say apart from surround your self with the right people and it will get better , thanks to everyone that got me through a horrid few years (you know who you are ) keep smiling even when you don't want to , everybody have a great Christmas
