Hi there Dazman
Firstly, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you to Beyond
Blue and to thank you for providing your post here.
Your post is a very short and to the point one, so if it’s
ok with you, I may just ask a few questions a bit further down, so we might
understand your situation a bit better.
That’ll then give us information to hopefully provide any type of
feedback and advice to you.
But firstly, I’d like to say that your friend’s response to
you was a poor one – kind of the stereotypical response you’d find from someone
who knows nothing about depression and who has no idea of what it’s like to
deal with mental health issues.
You’ve mentioned that this has been coming on for a few days
now and it’s got to the state for you that getting up and going was just not
viable this morning. You know what Dazman,
you certainly are not on your own with these kinds of feelings.
Over the last few days, has there been some kind of
anniversary or memories of bad things that have happened in the past to
possibly trigger this latest slide for you?
May I also ask have you been battling this mental illness
for a while now? And do you have any
other mechanisms in place that may assist you?
Like seeing a doctor, or any kind of counsellor/psyche; and/or anti-depressants??
Again, sorry for so many questions, but I do hope you can
get back to us with even, some answers, if you feel ok to do so.
Kind regards
Neil
