Brother this much attention from the forum is actually flattering, it means we care.
Be amongst supportive people if you can, and / or go to forum drinks, it really lifts the soul. -

i understand this as;
get out more, enjoy life!not as;
get help, you have mental problem, go get depressed forever wallowing in self pity...am i correct, or means something else?
people telling you to get help if you feel overwhelmed is almost exact opposite of people telling you to wallow in self pity. i get so pissed off with people seeing mental health as some taboo.
that said, a beer and some good company will prolly help.i am well, just am going through a few rough patches at present
regarding being alone for a long period of time without seeing anyone
normal, as the last few times i had gone out with my "friends" they had
made me feel depressed an i still feel a bit upset by this, it seems to have become relentless. i could do with a bit of support i seem to have separated from everyone an got slightly lost alone in a technical here.i am not kidding that all is actually well, am not suffering
an that having this much attention is heart warming.
trust me i am really sound as a person, just had a rough time
of sitting indoors alone, or being slightly picked on when i had gone out
by the people whom are into spitting on the floor or making fun of a guy who looks depressed.(what wrong with people at times?) you could say i found the truth, it was sitting
alone so i joined it, so hope it now has some support, as was otherwise abandoned.
Is it just me that thinks this is quite poetic? then again, i never understood poetry... -

err yes.. as Aking said.. I meant it in the best possible way. Certainly not telling you to 'get help, you're mental'.. or that you should just get out more.
If you feel you need to.. speak to someone about it, professional or friend. whatever you think is appropriate.Hows that lo-pro coming along?

lo-pro is off road for a while, is serving as living room art bare frame hanging :0)
though had ridden it quite some miles already.there are several people i see, all supportive
one is friend whom had mental problems in past like my
own an now is running his only alternative practice, he also does a lot of charity
work regarding the mental health, an helping those in crisis periods.
the therapist is important i find, as nutter friends can upset you,
as when stressed enough you go usually ballistic over judgement, an lots
of conversations i had when at worst, didn't help as had feelings of others not
being there enough, could be i was unlucky, an like i mentioned,
let wallowing by them until saw professionals whom had real awnsers. my friendly doctor always gives me information to study, asks how my progess is, that welfare is good. there is sedation if required as well.is much a importance of being comfortable/feeling relaxed/happy /forfillment
sorry i must have replyed in the wrong fashion somewhat :0)

ha! that lo-pro...glancing at now, remembering how comfortable a ride it gives.
-
• #392
hmm i was saying friends twice, of course the doctor friend is someone i met during this period.
the "other" friends i mentioned, just annoy me, we didn't have much in common it turns out,
that opinions caused conflicts, an was ignored often. -

I went to see a doctor about that shit, he put me in group therapy which depressed me even more. I was just depressed but the other people were blind, couldnt walk, massive debt, I just felt pathetic like I didnt have real problems. Course, now i wish I'd stuck with it. I realised that trying to listen to others actually made me feel better about myself, trying to help with their shit made me a more sound person.

It's all about listening..

• #397
Sorry?
-
• #398
It's all about LISTENING.
-
• #399
..the best therapy I've found through time - listening to others. I realized i didn't listen enough times other people's shit. Too immersed in my own shit.

if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem...hmmm
