Red wine?

 

If you were a Rangers fan would you be a Bipolar Bear??

 

Sound advice.

Best to speak to someone who has no preconceptions of who and what you are.

 

Did Mick Channon play in that team? Makes me depressed to think of my hero playing for you swamp dwellers.

 

Nah it's only Red Red Wine that helps apparently

 

I would suspect there was no red wine found at the scene.

 

It's Red Red Wine.

There is no 'treatment' as such for depression, all the meds do is mask the effects.

There is a fundamental difference between people that are 'depressed for a certain reason' and those who are clinically depressed. The former are not actually depressed at all, the confusion arises between the words 'depressed' & 'unhappy'. A situation or event can make you unhappy, a mental illness called depression makes you depressed.

Any medication available has no real degree of 'control' over a mind, they tend to simply mask & calm.

Many people become dependant on prescription drugs, personally, I still had enough awareness to realise the medication was making me worse.

Some people will do anything to avoid the stigma of being labelled 'mentally ill' but it's purely self-defeating - if you want to live your life with any degree of joy, then you have to be honest enough to look yourself in the eye and tell yourself the truth, a truth based on the facts that you have to take time to gather.

Just remember that there is no cure for depression.

You could win the lottery, marry the finest woman on the planet... if you're depressed, then it won't stop the misery.
You need to work hard at finding what it is that gets you through each day by trying different things.

Good luck to those affected, the rest of you can 'have a nice day', by your own choice.

 

You should have done a speedy

 

Red Red Wine

 

Sorry Joker, but that is utter nonsense.

Abraham Lincoln (who suffered from depression).

 

At last.

 

Jeezo Jip. Sorry to hear that mate.

 

Depressing, innit?

 

Next time I see you at lunchtime we should have a chat Bealie

 

Strange thread.

Sounds like how I feel when a 90th minute goal puts the coupon doon.

 

Probably right, but now I have your misery to make me feel better about myself.
