    Definitely.

    Before I didn’t care about others. Now I think Incaretoo much.

    How to I change my user name to Goldielocks?!
    You'll get burned

    Seriously, though, you'll find your balance. Being "happy" can be a scary place to be when you've been through the mill.....embrace it.

    I'd celebrate the fact that you can now feel for others, rather than being stuck in that rut of battling your own issues. That's a big step forward IMO.

    Ive been pretty much myself for the past couple of years now, I still have my down days but they are exactly just that & more associated with stressfull days at work.

    In relation to what you say above I totally agree. A few months ago my wee Sister (47) was diagnosed with cancer, thus far battling away after her 4th session of chemo. That rocked me & set me back a bit but I had to have that inner strength & get into that train of thought that this is not about me, I have to be strong & give her the support she gave me.

    Things didnt get any better. Just after we returned from Berlin for my birthday weekend my Wife was rushed to the Western General with headaches, tingling in her fingers & facial paralysis. She had suffered a stroke & was in hospital for almost two weeks.

    Talk about testing mental strength !!

    Had this have happened a few years back I honestly dont think I would have coped but at this point in time & with the fantastic support I have had from friends, family & of course folk on this very thread I can offer that support back.

    Keep your head held high mate.

    If you can channel the support you’ve given you wife and sister over recent weeks into a positive thought stream, I’m sure it will help you come through what is obviously a difficult period for you and your close family.

    As you say, returning the support they gave you is making you feel better within yourself even though it seems hard to do. Be as strong as you can for them. All the best.

    Cheers mate appreciated, my Sister has a good family, her hubby, sons & daughter as well as my other two Sisters & my elder brother, after the initial shock of seeing my sister (I work in Radiology at RIE) I felt more at ease as I could talk through her procedures etc, that put her mind at ease & in a kinda way helped me cope.

    My Wife is on the mend too, her stroke was a shock to us both but funnily enough, her job as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner at the RIE involves working with stroke so she has already a wealth of knowledge of it, that also kinda helped get us through the difficult first couple of weeks. Trying times ahead for the family but we are all strong & supporting each other.

    just posted a lengthy and probably rambling post on the Bounce.
    I've been really struggling for about 18 months,I've had anxiety and panic attacks previously but time it's totally different it's almost like a fog comes down and I sink into very dark and negative thoughts.
    My doctor has been brilliant along with meds she's given me some good websites.Don't think I'd ever be able to go down the therapy route but I'm giving the website a chance.

    Good you have an understanding GP, that does help. Keep an open mind to therapy, like you I never thought I would talk to someone but I have now had two therapists and found them to be a real help. Sometimes just talking can help. Hope you get better, anxiety can be awful.

    Good to see Coronation Street taking on a suicide storyline. Pretty hard hitting but hopefully it gets the message out there and encourages people to seek help.

    This is Mental Health Awareness Week. I really hope people pay attention. I really hope many workplaces, like mine, are offering a programme of events/opportunities to aid their employees. I really hope those of us that suffer from an affliction in our mental health are brave and OK enough join the conversation and keep trying to reduce the stigma. Above all, I really hope all of us that post on this thread are doing OK just now.

    I certainly find myself doing a little better just now. The sunshine helps, canning my Facebook account and being less present online and more present in the moment has helped. As has eating better, getting out into the garden (yes I'm only 32, shut it), spending more time with my wife and daughter rather than in the office or on my Xbox and even reading more.

    Oi! Gardening is the new rock n roll ill have you know and de rigueur with the hipster fraternity as well. And scientifically proven to do wonders for mental health.

    Hibs.net saved my life.

    When I was going through things really badly I used to use .net as a moaning place. Someone on here called the police who came and got me before I did something silly.

    Looking back, if it weren't for this thread and .net in general I might not be here any more.

    Glad to say I'm in a much better state nowadays but I owe a huge thanks to folks on here.

    When we are in agreement something in this world is either very wrong or very right.

    Gardening is great for everything: you, your garden, the environment, other people, critters...

    The demand for allotments is ridiculous so I'm grateful to have a decent amount of garden space. There's nothing quite like the physical and mental workout of a good session in the garden and just as good is the rewards that come later. I love growing stuff to eat and my fig and plum tree are my pride and joy. I also wade in with huge amounts of strawberries which are delicious, hugely cheaper than the often tasteless things the shops sell and very good for your physical and mental health.

    Dig for victory in every sense.

    Sorry to hear you went through such an awful period but delighted that you've finally found the light at the end of the tunnel

    Forums like this can often be a good source to vent and speak to people anonymously about how your feeling. Sometimes speaking to strangers is easier than speaking to close ones.

    Not personally but was talking to someone who suffers anxiety attacks and he said it worked for him. I am tempted to try it myself

    I’m sure you’ve done plenty research before going for this, but there seems to be a hell of a lot of conflicting stories on the internet about it. Much of it appears to be about the suppliers, and the unfounded claims they’re making, and also the unscrupulous tactics they use.

    United we stand here....

    A quick look on the internet suggests apart from Holland & Barrett it's quite expensive.

    There is a company in Edinburgh that supply it, Loveburgh, theres also a shop just opened up in Leith selling CBD oil, they also offer advice/counselling etc. Ive tried to research the products but its just a minefield out there, and as you say, expensive too.

    Loveburgh or Leith ? I got Raw paste as an alternative, comes in a 10ml syringe & you just put a pinkie nail sized blob on your finger or on a bit of bread & consume, its absolutley ****ing vile that I gagged each time I tried it. I have a full syringe worth sitting in bottom of my locker at work that I just cant bear to use 😬

    Sorry, Loveburgh.

    I'm wondering if I can put a few drops in a drink. Might help the taste .....

    Yeah the taste is the off putting thing, there must be ways around it & putting it in a drink may help. My colleague who uses Raw paste suggested putting a drop on a bit of banana as its easier to swallow, doesnt sound too bad but I would assume the liquid version may be trickier to do. I vape & Loveburgh also do a vape liquid, I wonder if thats worth trying.

    I agree that some cbd oils can taste ‘earthy’ to say the least!
    ‘LoveCBD spray’ is a lemony tasting cbd oil which comes in a handy spray. It’s £20 on the lovecbd website.
    They recommend putting 2-3 drops (squirts) under your tongue and letting it be absorbed for 2 mins (supposedly if you swallow cbd oil straight away the body doesn’t absorb the cbd goodness)

    I started using cbd oil nearly 2 years ago and it really helped with anxiety. Anxiety and depression seem to go hand in hand, so being able to calm the anxiety gave me a clearer view of the depression and a bit of headspace to try and navigate around the depression (an ongoing task!).

    I've been struggling with my memory and getting really confused. I lost my medication the last day which led to the GP threatening to withdraw it. I feel like crap now, not been right since that appointment yesterday.
