depression, anxiety & anger

Hi katie i know how you feel, i usually take deep breath make my excuses and go to the bathroom throw water on my face and count to ten after that stay calm and if it's a person bothering you ask to speak to them in private and ask them why they are saying or doing what is upsetting you. I always find this works because they haven't got an audience. M.

Hi everyone, just been reading on the comments re: depression and anxiety and bipolar disorders, well Ive suffered long term depression for 28yrs now, Ive got psycho sematic disorder which was brought on by depression and thats where my body shuts down all my limbs i can not use, when this happens i can not walk or use my hands, i live in a wheel chair now and again, sometimes i can walk sometimes i carnt, my point is i ditched the medication 7yrs ago so im not on any now. i went to college in 2006 to find out why this was happening to me and studied psychology and learnt about my illness and many other illnesses. I came out with a degree in psychology and now im training to be a support worker for the mental health, i still cripple up and i still have to resort to my wheel chair, i felt a lot like what all you have written and i still get low feelings, but i brush myself off and start again every time i get in a low mood, im just glad to be alive, you've got to turn your negatives into positives, thats what i did, maybe this might help some of you, but i am now a local councilor for the government and still at university getting my grades to be qualified into helping the mental health within my area, you need to have the confidence to pick your selfs back up i know its hard Ive been there my doctors were fuming when i refused medication, but at the end of the day i wasn't going to let my disability ruin my life. and im still determined so much i want to care for others like your selfs which im turning my negatives on the way my disability tried to ruin my life into a positive. hope this helps in anyway, but it can be done

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Why are you downcast o my soul?

Does anybody else suffer with your feelings just disappear?

Depression i hate it so much, I have days i dont feel anything, i feel not human, if i was an animal probs put me down lol, but as human i have to carry on in pain.

So yeah its hard, just take each day as it comes my advice . I am always sad and angry and pissed off at the world, not had a happy dya in a awhile, only happy with some good close friends

For as long as I can remember ,I have suffered depression,it manifested into horrendous nightmares from past experiences , Childhood ,armed forces, in my later life it came on in a vengeance of suicidal thoughts scaring my family ,it still happens now ,I've sought help but I find it very difficult to meet people because of anxiety , agitation , claustrophobic tendencies in crowds , I'm scared

Hello everyone I have suffered from depression for a long while now.Depression is very cruel and unforgiving. I have tryed to access local NHS councilling but to no avail. I went back to my doctors (07/11/16) and he said I may also have Borderline Personality Disorder and has refered me to councilling at last and changed my medication to Sertraline . I have also purchased some books to try and help myself (pics attached) .My partner left me a few days ago as she can not cope with my depression.This has made me feel like my heart has been ripped out as i love her dearly. One day I hope to win her back but it does not help the hear and now. Any help or suggestions greatfully received.

I've suffered with Depression, Stress, and Anxiety, since childhood, also ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Autism, my ADHD and Borderline Personality Disorder, were only diagnosed a few weeks before my 29th birthday, and my Autism was finally diagnosed 2 months after my 29th birthday, I've grown up feeling very lost and angry most of my life, being misunderstood, persecuted for my behaviours, and being let down and abandoned, without the support I've needed, my angry outbursts have got me into a lot of trouble, and finally I'm getting help from my local drug and alcohol centre, counselling to reduce the harm of using drink and drugs, something I often did when angry, and am also receiving support and anger management from a local charity who support individuals affected by the criminal justice system, things are getting better, but we are having to fight for the help and support that I'm entitled to 

Good morning Stumpy.  I am sad that you have had to fight for so much ; but great to read that you are getting help now. I really hope that you get to were you need and deserve to be.

I also hope that you find a way to channel your anger in to a positive result. Letting go of the past and all the negative thoughts is easier said than done, I know and understand but it will be a real bonus for you; as you can't change what has happened .

I really wish you well. Always here to chat/support you on your journey.

Thanks Julie, it's all an uphill struggle, my psychiatrist has cancelled my appointment in December, because he's on annual leave, as are all the psychiatrists, they've rescheduled to April, and I'm really feeling unwell, I think I'm gonna end up in the hospital again because I really need my medication increased, but that can't happen now, I really hate Christmas, as it's always the same, lack of meds, lack of support, etc, the go-away attitude, they seem to treat it like it's ok to want to kill myself, right now all I have until next week is this forum, and another forum I frequent, I'm hoping to see the Police PCSO's tomorrow, hoping maybe they can help get me some emergency mental health treatment, without the need for me to carry out my plan
