Some times people amaze you……..

Yeah also stupid remarks like ‘life is what you make it’ and ‘chin up it may never happen’ yeah well maybe it did happen bunch of tosspots.

True sincere ‘depression’ is where you actually are unable to pick yourself off the floor and ‘start again’ and people saying ‘oh such and such has it worse than you’ only makes you feel even more crap and less likely to want to get out of bed as then you feel even more selfish self centred and no good to anyone.  Or ‘do some charity work, help others’ as if you can do that, if you could you’d go back to work and earn your own money and help your bloody self wouldn’t you.

‘Life will get better’ that’s another one, well you cannot bring the dead back to life, eradicate bad memories or ‘force’ yourself not to feel like utter crap as soon as you open your eyes in the morning so you just dance about to everyone pretending you are absolutely fine whilst other knobs judge you criticise you and call you mental when all you are trying to do is to be a bit cheerful and have a laugh.

World is full of judgemental a-holes just best to just let everything and everyone whoosh over your head and ignore anything they have to say.

Anyone who is not a help is just a hinderance.

And to anyone who ‘got over depression’ without being on medication good for you.  But everyone is different and to be fair if we wanted your opinion I am sure we would ask for it.

It is very rarely ‘just depression’ it can be many other things.  And we can all ‘feel sorry for ourselves’ but some of us may not be able to forget, move on, process it, and some of us may simply not wish to because there are too many things to ‘forget’ ‘move on from’ ‘process’ and facing that kind of misery could destroy us completely.

Even the ‘professionals’ cannot help some of us ‘mentally ill bods’, so people in a chatroom should keep their stupid lame put down remarks to themselves.

I see the comments in here all the time ‘get a job’ ‘get off your arses’ well some of us worked all our lives I don’t think anyone is better than I am just cos they work and I only work part time cos I had a mental breakdown.

You work full time? Good for you, I don’t give a crap if you do.

Leave us ‘mental’ people alone and pick on other people cos although some of us maybe ‘mental’ and unable to defend ourselves against you SOME OF US ARE MENTAL AND CAN EASILY DEFEND OURSELVES AND OUR OTHER ‘MENTAL’ FRIENDS.

And that’s how you make a lame thread more interesting.

another one is when someone tells you, “you’re always depressed, you enjoy it really”.

what about “give us a smile” or “are you happy u best be happy” wtf, if people ask me them things I lie to avoid arguing or talking about whatever, as I dont know them and I dont like talking about whatever prob all the time or to all people, one person said to me one time “give us a smile” I just came out a respite building that day, and where I was and she was she was near the sea, I just wanted to push her in the sea, obv I am jels of happy people, but dont say bs things like that to me, as it dont improve my mood, it is as odd as if someone lives there life by some relgion, hoping to go to heaven or some bs like that, yes and if god was real then satun is beating god up, also other say “u have food and water and elec and a roof” yes and…… I dont compare my self to people say in Africa etc, if people accept bs in the world then they are sheep, I dont accept bs in the world it pisses me off, I will not be a sheep doing what I am told, I dont give a fuk If u like that or not tbh, things in life are made it dont mean what is made is fair and it dont mean people have to accept it, as long as people are like sheep nothing wud change for the better, also anyone who says killing one self is selfish, I wud say have u ever been sucidal? and yes tbh it is selfish, but it is not like they are selfish with other things in life, from my exp when I have been sucidal, I can not think right and dont have postive thoughts in my head, also I had no one there for me, so unless anyone has been to that limit in life, then maybe think before u say your opnion, as one day it cud be you.

Think each of us have had some very low points in our life if provided a diagnosis by a professional or not.

Each of us independently have a way in which we find our own method to cope. For some may be better than others, and for others whose life is still a challenge again find own methods to deal.

Hey 4 years ago and a crisis worker dealing with suicides, my life was so up side down, found I wanted to just sleep, never wake up again so would just go away. Every one around me so ill, hospitals different ones but all in same time, ran myself to the ground. This was 4 people in my immediate family..had 2 homes to maintain, animals, full time job. All of my members had needs. One wanted Mcdonalds every day. One wanted coffee and newspaper. One hated hospital food wanted my meals only. The other refused to eat anything…and let us not talk about dealing with doctors, staff, and calls of complaints all points of the day from all hospitalized.

Plate was full. Too many dependent on me. Even angry at all of them myself.

But one night driving home late from hospital I fell asleep for short time. Not sure how I managed to keep eyes open. Not sure how long I really drifted but thank god late no one else on this road, near a deli close to my home pulled in. Got coffee, sat back in car, now only 10 minutes from home.

Not sure if coffee, or scared I fell a sleep could of hurt some one else or me, but sitting some how realized what was I doing.. These people need me. U can rest,  space out find better method to what doing daily. Rather continue in down mode, wanting to end these challenges provided, I thought of the positive needs for actions needed to be taken, rather negative as a fast route to escape them…just not like me to not fight a challenge. Found some resolve turned it all around.

Cruel world we live in today when those diagnosed with mental illness or stigmatized in environment they work or live in, treated poor or cruel. But people cruel as well  to those with physical disabilities, learning disabilities.

When I work with people in the above listed capacity levels, I treat them as human and individuals. I may not be in their shoes or experience the same issues they may have but support their own personal strengths to move forward in baby steps.

You be amazed at the goals these individuals have, want, be, make better.. support essential by family members, and if none.. a helper, custodian, friend, advocate.

But seeing those including myself at times u need to want to make you be better. You need to find ways..methods to make you happy. You come first above any one else.. no one can do that for you, but you…

Amazed what u can accomplish if you set a goal that is for you. So live life. Learn what positive things out there for u  not live the pain that will eat u alive and take away what and whom you are.
