West Ham Online

"Been through bad time lately with suffering with this. Dark thoughts as well. I know some posters on here suffer with this. Anyone come through the other side of this shit?

"A number of posters have been yellow carded and told to stay off this thread unless they have anything constructive to add.This is a thread that has been very useful to so many, for any other posters with scores to settle, argue on another thread. This thread is sacrosant.Thank you"

You missed out `Get a Dog' BRANDED son...??

"I like these descriptions: Anxiety is worrying about the future. Depression is worrying about the past. However, I understand the worrying gets out of control. Getting a grip is doing something. Unfortunately for some that is a catastrophic event so let me rephrase. You can go to a doctor. Get therapy. Use a mindfulness app. Do meditation. Take drugs relevant to your condition. avoid the things that might induce anxiety ( in my sisters case it was negative news amongst a dead end life plus recognising we live in the present) or research some other kind of solution that might work. All of it requires an action that relates directly to your condition."

Young lad … early 20’s killed himself a few years back… chucked himself out of the 15th floor in the building I work at… nasty business as his Mum and dad worked in the same building… he’d been trying to kill himself for years… found overdosed etc... always seemed ok and happy on the outside when I had seen him… but app’ told people for years that he was gonna end his life as he was just tired of living… people like that no matter what will not be helped… must have been fucking tough for his Mum and Dad to come back and work at this place.

I' was worried that it might be...

Anxiety isn't depression you cretin.

"fwiw, there's plenty of psychologists/therapists who take a hardline approach similar to what Branded says - essentially its just encouraging the individual to take responsibility & ownership Doesn't work with everyone"

Cough... well if he had he would not have fallen would he...

"So that film director, I'm sorry forget his name, who jumped off a bridge, should he have just ""get a grip""?"

"""get a grip"" Jesus fucking wept."

"Tomshardware 12:55 Wed Jan 15 Re: Anxiety/depression Branded it's an illness. When you have anxiety no matter how much you think to yourself and tell your brain that there's no need to feel stressed or anxious, you're brain doesn't listen. It's like the wiring is fucked. I recognise that and have already said ""get a grip"". My sister called me a couple of years ago saying she could hardly breathe because of anxiety. I have a doctor friend who uses a mindfulness app to help people with anxiety conditions so I downloaded it and over the phone went through the process. Within 20 minutes she was already feeling better. A little bit. She still uses it but is now back to full normal health because she took control of her life and moved on. No matter what you do, get a grip, make a decision and move with it."

"It would be good manners for you to 'google search' and provide some, given that you are the one who introduced the notion in the first place."

"joe, you can't tell if a person who is depressed or not just by looking at them, people can look happy and still be depressed, tears of a clown, anyone?"

"Can we stop petty arguing on this important thread at least please? Supportive, positive comments needed. Not lecturing, no matter how well informed it is or not."

"There's a lot of evidence to support it, a simple google search will show it. As I said, not everyone will react to it, I don't but there's a lot of research to suggest constant negative rhetoric is not good for your mental health."

"I've talked on here in the past regarding my mentalness. I've been the subject to a section twice, once a section 2 and once a section 4. I have never used hard drugs and I'm not a drinker and I have bipolar (2, if you're remotely interested). The main point is that you WILL come through this, as hopeless it may seem. You may think about killing yourself but that is a permanent solution to what is a temporary problem. But you do need help. And try not to wait for the crisis to go get it. You need to do some exercise (long country walks help me hugely) and mindfulness, as trendy as it is, has helped me a lot. And the drugs. I take them because I need them and they help. It's not my fault I'm like this, I have 4 first cousins on my mum's side that are BP and one that is schizoaffective. 3 of us have been sectioned at some time or another. Be open about your problems. Be compassionate to yourself. Understand the best things in life are not things. Go and start with your own head, that's where the problem lies and you can change the way your process things. Don't expect too much of yourself. Don't want things. We all seemed happier when we all had less and weren't 'aspirational'. Be aspirational for your own contentment and nothing else. Don't feel you need to have an opinion on everything, you don't. You can be neutral, even on Brexit! Being neutral on any given issue is okay. Oh, and don't support West Ham! Peace on you my friend, never expect to master your mental health, your goal is to be able to cope with it when it get's bad. And you will."

Ah the heady days of positive world news in 1939

Is this your opinion or is it backed up by research?

"Nurse Ratched 1:24 Wed Jan 15 It has an impact, not the sole cause. If you're constantly pumped with negative information and you do not have the capability to deal with it, it can cause anxiety/depression. Take a look at Greta the climate nut job, she's a jibbering mess because of the shit peddled by the media about climate change. I bet she's one of many."
