Bog: sorry I caught this thread late. Hugs to ya, fella. Personally, I feel a pissup coming on, and some good ol' 'setting the world to rights'. We've got some space here should you feel the need...

Bog, Dont think we've met, but I have been there...years and years of aimless living, where the highlight of my life was sleeping...fear of going out, inability to function, just a drooling zombie culminating in a trip in an ambulance.....but it does get better...I'm still fighting, sometimes I slip back a bit, and feel it somewhere inside, clawing at me and trying to pull me back down into the hell inside my own head.

At some point along the way, medical people tagged me with little labels that read " Obsessive compulsive disorder" and "Schizophrenic tendencies"....all I knew was I felt like shit and gave up.

Dont give up...there really is light at the end of the tunnel, savour your friends and those you love, respect yourself and the love other people have for you.....it doesn't matter how dark the night....morning always comes.

Best of luck Bog mate, and hang in there.

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner, I haven't been able to come here for a long time.

You know my number, you can call anytime you want.

*hugs tight*

You are a good man, I can't say anything that others haven't already said... I'm not eloquent, I just know that you can pull yourself out of this.

*hugs and kisses*

Bog, sorry for "getting here late" but for what its worth, I can second Fil's comment. And if I can highlight one concept that is central to much of these writings it would be to tell you to try to hold onto the fact (and it is a fact) that life is in a constant state of change, so when things seem to be at the lowest, darkest point you can be sure they will change for the better.

My thoughts are with you

I'd rather move this to the "You're all Brilliant" thread, because of the intensely dark emotions expressed earliar.... but you are, my dears, all absolute bloody stars. You're making this hard time much easier for me, all of you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Oy! missed this thread. I don't know you personally but sending hugs your way.

If it's depressions or weltangst that's getting you, I must re-itirate what others have said. Be with friends, go for walks, and remember that this too, shall pass.

One extra bit of advice, try to wake up at the same time every day after a good sleep.

When it got too bloody awful for me I got some anti-anxiety drugs, might or might not work, therapy might be a better option though. never tried that.

Best to you!
