My depression started 20 odd years ago. So many bad things have happened in my life that remembering them is not something that I am able to cope with at the best of times. Some of these things have caused depression, some of them because of depression. It also hits me hard for no reason when all is going well. Its the major depressive episodes when I become to ill to cope, its like my soul/ existence leaves completely. Anxiety goes hand in hand with depression, and my anxiety is matching the level of my depression, just going outside is a painful experience. High level anxiety can last for days on end. Negative thoughts impact my everything, fleeting, unrealistic/uncontrollable. I forget who I am, where I put things/day it is. I don't think that I am good enough. This is not true, I know that from past experience. It effects every part of my life, family, friends, work. Most people don't understand why.
Why can't I have fun? When will I be normal? Why is this? Questions sometimes cause more problems and all I can do is take every day one step at a time until the major depression passes (its been 3 months already) or until the medication settles. Medication changes for me have side effects which can escalate other present symptoms. Mental health is so important. Don't hide it, with every ounce of your being tell someone. Get help. Reach out. Except. Go against what you feel. You are worth it.
I hid myself from society for many years because I felt that nobody understood. This was a mixture of anxiety and my naturally reclusive mentality that depression moulded me into. Its extremely difficult for me to decipher at times with all the chatter of negative thoughts what is reality or not. I never let anyone close to me so that I'm not a burden on them and I'm untrusting to others because of the fear of being hurt. People have a natural ability to push away the weird and undesired. So this makes it easier to do but not right.
All these symptoms mashed together make psychosis and inevitable agrophobia. Luckily this only effects me for a few weeks but the time it takes to recover from that to being able is far longer.
Its time for me to be me again. Clarity is still far away but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to keep moving.

Hey Bro!
It mustve taken awhile to upload...'cause I always check to see if youve posted.
Your template looks fudging awesome!
Seriously man.
So, are you planning to do ALL that in one day, or just like a couple from each 'category'?
I cannot fully express how much I am proud for you, Matt.
I have genuinely already seen a positive shift in you.
You seem braver.
More confident.
I like that, keep going.
Thank you for being you.
I really mean that!
I am well.
All is well.
MuchLove

Morning brother!
How you going?
Your HWJT looks great.
Its important for us to add times, 'cause that keeps us accountable to ourselves.
Also, for things like exercise...which I am not the biggest fan of, I can say, Okay - only 40mins!
And be okay with that, 'cause I feel that at least I am moving forward by doing some exercise.
Does that make sense?
Also, theres a lot of new research that shows that all these people that tell us that we have to work out for hours and hours etc, are wrong on that thought!
HIIT - has proven that you can be just as effective in a 1minute burst HIIT!.
Its all about raising the heart rate.
Then resting the heart.
Then a burst again -
I will explain this okay?
Run on the spot as fast as you can for 20seconds <- Yep, just 20secs but you have to run as fast as you can.
Gets the heart rate up.
Then rest for about 90secs.
Then repeat this process three times, so that you have had a burst of HIIT for a total of 60secs (HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training)
Do this just 3 times a week, for 4 weeks, and youll notice a huge difference.
Okay - so we wont be body builders, just doing that, but we will be healthier, with less stress...and thats what matters.
When you get time, look up on Youtube -> Michael Mosley and HIIT Documentary.
Theres some great stuff there!
All his documentaries are very helpful.
I know you have heaps to do...but this may give you a break from all the other stuff.
HIIT is more body health focused, as opposed to all the other mind and soul searching stuff!.

Evening my bro!
Today has been rather dull.
But thats all good.
I may not be moving to Melbourne, when I wanted to, and thats kinda dumb.
Thats all on me though, the only person responsible to get this sorted, is me.
I continue to do my best.
I went for two walks with bundy, plus lifted some weights. So, the XP is done for the day.
I am liking where the OTT thread is going - that will be where I will be doing most of my 'reaching out' from.
Plus yours and my daily chats on this thread.
I ate well, and am well hydrated.
Though, I did just eat a whole bag of black licorice.
I have this thing with particular foods.
Is your boy like that with foods?
Obsessive?.
I can be like that with licorice.
I eat the good stuff.
But aside from eating the whole bag, in one sitting, I ate well today.
----
Im listening to Beethoven at the moment.
Good stuff.
Peaceful.
