Nice one You’re never alone, people will always help if you reach out
I do most of my work from home nowadays which can be tough at times but my 5 yr old German Shepherd is my loyal companion and hardly ever leaves my side, if anything happened to him I would be devastated so can well understand your feelings and how your mind can think that way.
My advice for anyone suffering from mental health issues is to completely come off social media. It will do you a world of good.

Also avoid the news in general as its all doom and gloom
My advice for people suffering from mental health issues is to seek professional help as soon as possible - if you can afford it deffo go private
Hope you're good Diafol.
Separate issue, but there must be something wrong with your keyboard. The second part of your post I couldn't understand. It was completely unintelligible. The keys on your keyboard must have stuck or something...

Thanks and
Diafol, I get on with the majority of this site but you specifically are probably the nicest and most genuine person on here (not to discredit others of a similar ilk).
I know you’re not looking for a hand job here but seriously dude, the world needs more people like you so whatever it is you’re feeling please know they for what it’s worth, this site would be a lot worse without you and your input 🙌

Cheers Dad, er I mean Robb.
I'm just trying to help if I can. I'm involved with mental health and wellbeing group at work and I know people need that kind of support.
This site is great on the whole to be fair and I do value the discussions on here.
Now, I'd feel a lot better with a good performance and three points tomorrow!

If it's your job then that's a bit tricky.
My point was social media brings out the nasty side of people mostly I find. People boasting about things they have bought and places they have visited and then the rest of it is just people arguing and moaning about stuff.
I came off Facebook over a year ago now and it's best thing I have ever done. Never had an Insta account and plan on keeping it that way. Only thing I have now is twitter and that's purely just for footy news and fantasy footy related stuff too.

Social media doesn't bother me really. I work for a Government department and we get called Nazzis, Marxists and all sorts of things. So silly which we can laugh off!
Ja606 is my only social media, and I have had some great threads on tricky subjects.
Depression is a funny one, people get confused between being fed up and being depressed, but if you have the real one it can ruin your life.
So, good luck and good health Diafol.
Good post, Diafol.
I think i mentioned on your last post that i've been through various mental health issues for 27 years now... It's good that we can talk about it without much stigma, these days.
I 100% know what you mean about the feeling of dread. Sometimes it can be based on a solid idea eg "my family are gonna have a car crash" and other times it's just a general sense that something very bad is going to happen (which might well be quite natural, when you look at the state of the world).
Thankfully, of all the issues i've had (hppd, anxiety, dpdr and depression) I managed to beat the depression after 3 years or so. All the meds were making me worse, so I focked off my doctors and just worked on my own mindset. I would force myself into situations that I would normally hide away from... Going out, or simply forcing myself to say a few words to a stranger at a bus stop.
Slowly but surely, I got a sense of self back and the depression eased (it still comes back a bit, on occasion).
(Of course, what worked for me may not for others, and vice versa... focking off your doctor is not advice, just my story).
Anyway, keep on fighting, mate... and reach out if you ever need any help.

Cheers Ji. It's great people can open up now and not be told to 'pull yourself together'. I do think, with my amateur psychology hat on, that some of it is linked to my partner going through early menopause. She's really struggling so the Dog is my 'release valve' if I need to step away for an hour or so to give her space. I also feel I'm letting her down as I can't help but I suppose I can't really. Only be there.
Great you've got over yours and you are right 'forcing' yourself to do things is needed at times. I've started playing football again just a kickabout and I do feel mentally better for it. Even if physically I'm aches and pains for a couple of days. Sadly I still get a buzz from scoring in 9 a sides! It's great!
Sumai Diafol.
I suppose it’s different for everyone, but I tend not to mix with anyone from work in my social time (apart from one very good friend, but we never talk about work).
I’m not on social media either, so I think that helps.
You know you can reach out to me if you fancy a pint, sharing with a stranger etc. 👍🏻

Haha. I'm really a dark and conniving person you know!
Yes, sometimes male bravado can make you feel weak if you share but I've been encouraged by how many people have responded to me when I've shared this kind of thing. I always try to speak up for people at work who aren't always confident in expressing themselves. Probably because I'm at an age where I'm not that ambitious any more so I've less to lose.
Fair play Diafol, hope you are doing well.

I echo this, and also value that we have the odd chat on Twitter. You’re a legend.
Reading this post, your tweet and Robb’s pandemic post have actually made me quite emotional as it’s made me think about things I’ve probably been repressing for quite a while. My mental health has definitely taken a huge hit over the last two years even though I met my current wife the day before the first restrictions were introduced in Victoria. I think getting back to a normal way of life - back to the office three days a week, social pressures, still dealing with my ex wife from a financial settlement perspective - have been incredibly overwhelming and I’m not the best at communicating when I’m feeling flat or down. So good on you DC for making us all think about it. 👍

You guys in Melbourne did it tough so hope you’re okay dude. Life will be properly normal soon enough. Especially when summer hits as I feel in Oz that will signal the end of the pandemic. Here in Sydney we have to wear masks on trains etc but hopefully not too soon. You haven’t lived until you’ve worn a mask for 24 hours on a flight 😅
As I said to Diafol, if you’re ever in Sydney hit me up, I’m a fairly normal dude who think he’s more funny than he is and I’m sure if Dave ever posts on here we could have a United JaMeetup. Head on over to the Crown casino and watch a United game.

You guys in Melbourne did it tough so hope you’re okay dude. Life will be properly normal soon enough. Especially when summer hits as I feel in Oz that will signal the end of the pandemic. Here in Sydney we have to wear masks on trains etc but hopefully not too soon. You haven’t lived until you’ve worn a mask for 24 hours on a flight 😅
As I said to Diafol, if you’re ever in Sydney hit me up, I’m a fairly normal dude who think he’s more funny than he is and I’m sure if Dave ever posts on here we could have a United JaMeetup. Head on over to the Crown casino and watch a United game.
