Do you ever feel down and out but don't really know why?

All these things take a huge toll, the diabetes thing goes hand and hand with under active thoyrid, thats makes you letargic and contributes also to the hair loss, get a thoyrid function test done, if it is all you to do is start taking eltroxin. At least visit you gp and discuss it even talking can help. The worst thing anyone can tell you now is snap out of it, if only it was as simple as that. I am going thru a very bad patch myself at present but fighting it hard. keep talking it does help. I would also like to thank sargie for starting this thread well done m8.
 
i got this a LOT and slept for a long time a few years back, doc said it was depression and popped me with pills, never worked so asked to see diff doc...done my bloods turns out i have a thyroid issue took the tabs and it seems to work

every now and again it returns, i just try and push through and cycle when this happens, helps a lot....mind you i never rule out the thought i am just fooking mental
 
Ive got the answer mate,have a kid ...lol believe me that will keep you busy and you will have no time to dwell on how low you feel,since the age of 40 i have had most of the feelings that you are going through,almost a decade later i had a kid(No4)and ive been on the up ever since.......
 
i'll see if i can get tested then,it would explain the lack or energy and complete tiredness,so i can't even get a labouring job fss...stuck in a rut as they say...on the up side my dad said i can pay the rent on his card then pay it off when it's sorted, that's 1 thing off my mind.

seams i have taken this thread over,sorry sargie...hope you feel better soon
 
pmsl sargie is probs feeling better just reading this post,your never alone !
 
well done sargie for posting your feeling mate as a lot of people will just keep them to them self and bottle them up also most people will not post them as they are scared to say what they feel in case they sound weak but its the bigger man that talks out about how down they feel and i respect you for sharing it mate as there is been a few times i feel like that but scared to share it cause i dont know what response i would get but as i said mate you are a better man to share it rather than bottling it up and i hope you feel better about yourself with the replies you have been getting as this forum is a good family atmosphere and understand everyone's circumstances and feelings .

Not at all m8 if this thread helps others that are having problems then that's great.
 
Still feel the same, infact im up and down like a yoyo.

Going to splurge on some fireworks later give me and the family something to look forward to. And theres nothing quite like blowing stuff up to lift your spirits. :)

Im going to go to the docs too, trouble is my gp is the take two paracetomols and come back in two weeks type. On a plus note both of my daughters have won 1st places in the local dance festival infact my eldest daughter got a 1st for her duo and for her solo. My youngest daughter got a 4th and a 1st.:Clap:

Sargie mate, sorry to read about how you are feeling :(

Firstly, do you feel the same during the summer months ? I know the weather has an effect on everybody - but look back and think if you woke up in a good/happy mood ?

This does sound like S.A.D SAD Symptoms - The Seasonal Affective Disorder Association


Meds are not the solution in most cases mate, all they tend to do is mask the issues - thus, they remain. Exercise is a very good suggestion, even just a brisk walk, time to chill etc...

Need any more info mate, give us a msg and will help where I can :)
 
Right well i read up today on symptoms, Diabetes was a very real chance so i did some more research and decided to fast today for 8 hours. Ive been to boots and bought an accu chek compact plus. Felt dizzy and had blurred vision all day. The reading from the accu chek came out at 9.3 mmol which according to forums is way above fasting glucose levels. Ive just had my tea and im going to test again in 90 mins and before bed. Looks like i may have got to the bottom of things thanks to you guys.

sargie mate, if you suspect diabetes then get your gp to send you for a real gtt (glucose tolerance test) and blood work up- no guess work then.

Agree: get to the doctors for tests, my daughter has type 1 diabetes so know the issues.
 
I felt a wee bit like that a few months back mate......kinda felt on edge and felt everything was becoming a big hastle and i was always getting snapy at the least wee thing! It wasnt so much of like worrying all the time more like feeling i should be doing something all the time and couldn't relax! I went to the doc a he gave me a drug called propranolol which is a beta blocker used for anxiety and i found its really relaxed alot of the symptoms i was having! At first i was taking them 3 times a day but now a just take them as and when i start to feel like that which has become alot less now! Good to see a good honest post mate...nice to see.
 
wot the hell is this thread all about ?
its like womans feckin weekly ..
Bloody go and grow a pair the lot of yers and stop feeling sorry for yerself ... theres innocent people actually dieing out there .

Dont really understand that post chris yes i know there are people far worse off than me in the world, ive lost family members myself this year, my wife was diagnosed with early cervical cancer and we had a messy break up for 2 months. Why that means im not aloud to have problems myself is beyond me.

Most of the time i just shut up and put up but thought id ask on here to see if it was just me. Most people have been very helpfull on the whole.

Nobody asked you to read the thread chris!
 
Chris I truly hope you never experience what its like, its not funny its not something you want or wish for. If you are good and everything is fine with you then count your luck stars. But please dont post shit like that were all unique and have different levels of tolerance. Live and help others not knock them m8.
