Of course, because people are cunts, it's not always the way. As you know the plot and I diverged slightly after cancer and work stress and shit - interesting how it takes a certain level of stress/anxiety/panic to tip background conditions over into serious issues - the most useful thing I did was have a program of meetings with a counsellor attached to the oncology dept. Talking to people about stuff is just fucking useful. Also, I'd suggest reading John Kirwan's book about (his) depression and anxiety. It's very good.

I don't much care if you just tell me to fuck off, either, if that's what helps you make it through the night. Or too-early morning.

Don't know what to tell you but hang in and hang on.

It's likely that I've had depression in some form or another for at least 20 years. For the first time, I have accepted and maintained a medication regime, as well as counselling. I'm off work, trying to look after my mind and body, and will continue to do so for as long as it takes. I'm rarely this open about the situation, because it's ALWAYS in the back of my mind, that others may consider me weak, lazy and/or a malingerer. In the front of my mind I know that others' opinions are irrelevant, but it's still quite scary.<br /><br />Good luck to you Mokes. If you feel you don't want or need drugs or counselling that's awesome. I'm reasonably confident you won't judge me for my situation (see... it's just so damned hard to be positive about that with ANYONE). Sometimes we just need some time, whether that's a day, a week, or a year. Be kind to yourself, and talk to your friends.<br /><br />Glad to hear Tracey is improving. Sorry that you guys live on this knife edge every day. Hugs and kisses to you both.Mayhemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743732421663633743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952293258341051637.post-51542269015899961072012-11-22T03:15:11.209-08:002012-11-22T03:15:11.209-08:00Thanks buddy.Thanks buddy.Moko 2.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/08184138480876859503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952293258341051637.post-78174875456284378452012-11-22T02:16:45.902-08:002012-11-22T02:16:45.902-08:00Sorry that things are shit these days, Moko.
