I don't know what to say, honestly I don't. I've read all your replies, read what my good friend Neil McSweeney has wrote ( and he should know, I've loved his songs for a few years now!) Pills are not the answer, god I know that. They've given me an ache in my leg, a limp dick, all sorts of side effects. On the up side they've helped me lose weight and be a nicer more balanced person. But why do I feel I need them?? I'm the most stable I've felt for years, but there's still a voice in me telling me I'm rubbish, worthless , crap, no good....I try to fight it, but it's there. I'm feeling bad now that I've resurected all this shit and made everyone look at it again. I have the most grounded, gorgeous girl at my side, two fantastic kids who I'm so proud of I could spontainiously combust, I make a half decent living, live in a beautiful home, eat good food......what the FUCK have I got to be depressed about? I honestly and truthfully don't know. But that horrible gnawing feeling of worthlessness is in my stomach and after 20 years is starting to piss me off in a more than depressed way. Maybe I'm a mentalist who should just get the fuck on with it...... I don't know, who does??? Thanks to everyone who's been brave and honest enough to answer this thread, maybe one day they'll discover that drinking your own piss once a day is the secret to a happy life, in which case I'll be miserable for a few more years to come.


That's precicely it though, it's not circumstantial. The main thing is you don't go beating yourself up about it, that's just another unneccessary pressure. You just have to find the right path, and there are many. Best of luck mate!

Hmmm... Dave..... before deciding on cbt maybe you should visit the BACP website - British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy - where you can find out what different therapies are on offer and what they can do for you - you can also find therapists in your area if you have to wait too long through the GP (and it will probably be time limited CBT if you go through GP). Anyway, only you can decide if that is the avenue you want to take - I wish you all the very best x

Mr McSweeney - great article - you certainly know your stuff and beautifully written, in my humble opinion x

I would just like to thank everyone who has posted on this subject. I have been diagnosed with acute stress reaction and I am trying really hard to avoid medication. I recognise so many of the feelings you have all described. I don't feel so bad about feeling bad if you know what I mean.
Dave I don't know you but I sending my love and best wishes. Hope things get better soon. My mum used to say 'even this will pass' hard to believe sometimes!

Don't know why, but have suddenly come over feeling all depressed today. Feel very lonely isolated and down. Can't even be bothered to make myself any lunch. :(

I wish I knew how to cheer you up, Sophster. I'm sometimes going through days like that as well. Tomorrow will be brighter!

I had sever depression last year, I was doped and I was waiting for a cognitive therapy which never happened. I got better by myself.
Ever since I been at University, my life changed, once you find something that fullfill your life depression goes away. Don't relay in doctors or therapies, the best remedy is yourself! My life overall, is still not a bed of roses, but at least I know, that I am good at something, and I work hard for it.
Think about what you want to do in your life, and do it if possible!!!

ALL THE BEST :thumright:

have a gander if you can be bothered. comments welcome


Neil I read your article and was very interested. I wanted to let my daughter read it but the link doesn't appear to work anymore. Can you direct me to it again please. Thanks
