The housing situation is looking grim to be honest, all the private rents have gone up because lots of landlords have now jumped onto the airb&b bandwaggon!@hotmetal it's true lack of sleep is a big factor, Plus pain. I have some good friends too, that help me sort things out. Actually one of them dropped off a 4 pack of Guinness 0.0% last night to lighten my mood. Good friends are important. May you have some brighter days. Thanks for sharing
@Blademonkey sheeesh..... You have a fair bit to deal with buddy. I do hope you find somewhere soon. Is there 'any' hopeful options for finding a roof over your head before you go for canvas? Glad you have up days too. Make sure you make the most of them. I know you are a well respected member of TSR and people appreciate your input.
@Olie29 . Thanks for sharing that too. You know it can just be as hard for people on the outside as it is for the person going through it. Especially when you are limited in the amount you can actually help. I didn't mention in my original post that my wife is on meds for anxiety/depression plus she has Fibromyalgia. So some days can be pretty rough. But nothing I expect like what you and your bro go through. Take care mate.
You are not alone mate. As said above I am not comfortable about sharing a lot of personal information in the 'open' but my entire adult life, has in one way shape or form, been affected by depression. I do agree strongly that it is vital to voice these things - a situation that would have been unthinkable to our fathers' generation.It's not a suprise to me that it's happening again.
Call it SAD or call it that time if the year or whatever it is, but it's hit me again, it's not a depression as such, I still get up in the morning glad I'm alive, but I do get that nagging feeling within. Almost a frustration. Kinda like I wanna smash a load of past due water melons with a baseball bat. I can't concentrate on the important things I should properly. My brain fogs up and thinking about making decisions for 'tomorrow is hard. But ask me to invent or make something and I can concentrate on it for hours. It could have been triggered by any number of things. Like a good friend of mine being diagnosed with a grade 4 Glioblastomas and now he's been sent home to live out his days.... Or as I said at the beginning it could be seasonal. It happens at least once a year. And doesn't last all that long. It could also be linked to when I have a particularly bad time with acid reflux too... I've not ruled that out.
I know many of you on here have or do suffer at times. Just wanted to reach out to say why not share what you went through or are currently going through and what helps you day to day?
