Oh My!!!My line manager schedules calls where we generally discuss how we are doing.
A recent medical appointment has possibly identified I have prostate cancer.
I have kept that to myself and the girlfriend, who advised me it's not fatal and I may only lose a testicle. Which didn't reassure me. I previously had colorectal cancer, so I have seen it all before. Hopefully it's benign.

My mental health has been pretty low over the winter. I noticed the same last year...I get this feeling of being self-destructive and having low motivation and low self-esteem.
The stress from university doesnt help too although Ive been doing well with my assignments and getting good passes but the low self-esteem doesnt help.
Work wise has been not great...being on a 0 hour contract means that its a struggle to get any hours, especially during the weekdays. Ive had to find a new job but with the 20% tax, I get roughly £8 an hour. Some of the work burnout from the summer remains and I think its time for me to find a new job.
Hey really struggling not going to lie,
downloaded that meet up app months ago and was thinking of going to a meet up for mental health related groups but obviously covid hasn't helped
one of the things I'm struggling is with finding people who can understand and relate, i don't actually know anyone personally with the same mental health issues I have so it makes I very hard when you don't feel like you're being understood
Suppose it's hard as I'm soooo confused that I don't understand myself so how can I expect anyone else to understand you know?
You said you were briefly low, how did you bounce back?
yea im realistic with being able to relate to people, i just havent come across anyone young asian muslim males who talk about these issues openly?It's very difficult to come across someone else who has the exact same mental health issues, but have you come across anyone else who have some of them? We'll never find someone who has exactly the same experiences we have, but hopefully we can find someone who has the empathy to understand what you are going through to either listen or to provide some assistance.
Understanding your own mind is a difficult thing to do, but even if someone might not understand EVERYTHING, they might understand SOMETHING, and a little often can make more of a difference than you might think.
I presume you have issues with Anxiety, I do as well. A few things I have been taught this week is 'Anxiety is just an emotion, anxiety will not harm physically harm you', at rough times this week, I have been repeating 'Anxiety is just an emotion' almost like a mantra, trying to get my head to stopping running wild. Also, anxiety can occur as from an overactive imagination, your head runs wild on a tangent and blows things out of control, at those times I try to stop thinking about whatever was making me crazy and think about shaving, or a cartoon or music or something, but doing something creative like playing guitar or writing is the best thing, put that overactive imagination to some use.
Send me a PM if there's anything else I can say.
I hope everyone on here feels better soon.
As a sufferer of SAD and depression I know how good people like me are at hiding symptoms from others.
I can feel like shit, meet up with a friend be pretend to be happy as fuck with them and as soon as we part, bang, back to feeling shit again. I hide it a lot with humor, I am always joking.
I know I won't follow my own advice, but don't hide how you are feeling. I have one friend that knows but has been sworn to secrecy, good cunt* will text or pop round if I not been in touch for a few days.
*I'm scottish so cunt is seen as a term of endearment depending on the context.
I've got a box with daylight bulbs. 5000k and I put it on between about October to February-March for a few hours now and again.How do you deal with SAD?
yea im realistic with being able to relate to people, i just havent come across anyone young asian muslim males who talk about these issues openly?
unfortunately its seen a taboo subject and a weakness to be frank
like an example is some people judge you thinking if youre depressed, down or whatever that you must have 'weak faith', which to me is just absurd
also the biggets slap in your face is when people be like 'ohhh its just in your head' like what the.....
i have generalized anxiety disorder (known as GAD), one of many issues unfortunately,
yea im a deep thinker and yea it has it good moments but i find it to be really bad and can literally really cripple you
suppose stress does weird and wacky stuff to the body, stuff you probably wouldnt have thought of when you were younger in life only till you get older the reality hits home
many thanks mate, likewise you too
