In limbo!
Just lately i feel really down and stressed even though i have no reason to be. It's really hard to explain it's like something is bothering me but even i don't know what it is. Im really hyper too and finding it hard to sleep, im moody and agressive (in a shouting way) and generaly miserable.

I dunno maybe it's just me.
 
i get like that too m8 the more you think about it the worse it gets so just try to find an activity to take you mind off it for a few days and it might pass, i get like it fairly often even when things are going good in my life :/
 
go buy yourself something electronic, that always works for a bit .

if not see the adult room for porn links.
 
Know what you mean sargie,get some exercise like a bike ride,run or a good walk works for me,other than that maybe you have thing subconsciously goin on in the back of your mind m8
 
Maybe thats it it. i guess life really gets in the way sometimes. I don't feel like i get quality time with the family to do fun things. It seems to be all work,cleaning,bills etc. Ah i dunno just a low point i guess, i really should be gratefull for what i have.

thats the key.... start looking at the good things you have around you, family, friends , home ,work .....

the crappy weather isnt helping either....make sure your eating properly..

get your self to the doctors mate, they are there to help...
 
I'm not as bad now, but i used to have days/weeks were i just had no enthusiasm to do anything, something was always bothering me but i never knew what. It was just there, getting me down, causing me to be fed up.

So much so it gradually got worse, i couldn't be bothered with people in general, i left my partner, spent a year on my own, I changed jobs and a few things about my routine and we got back together a few months back. It's not perfect i still have odd days, but its most definitely better, and our relationship appears to be stronger. The biggest part of it is that you do the same thing day in day out for what seems like ever that you need to change it, doesn't even have to be major, just subtle things. Join a gym, go out to see a friend in an evening periodically, get away even if its just for a day, and most importantly switch off from work.

I totally understand Matt
Ive felt myself falling into a rutt this last month and getting moody, angry, and generally cant be bothered attitude

I find myself tired and yawning all the time and could sleep for England, but I don't do anything to be tired, Oh and short fuse, I know my family understand but its not fair on them

I think its constant rejection of work for me ? I cant believe some of the jobs Ive applied for and been rejected :( its degrading

but I feel a turn is just around that corner :Hit:
 
i know exactly how you feel mate,been like this for a while tbh and it's getting worse,it's got worse recently to and my hair has been falling out...always had a head full off hair...going grey but it's still there,it's not in clumps but my pillow is covered with hair,no bald patches yet but at this rate it wont be long tbh.

it all seams to be getting worse,like yesterday we got a call from the landlord,housing excutive has stopped paying rent,wife has been to see them and that say they are only dealing with september and they are a month behind,landlord had phoned last night and he only has this 1 house and needs the money to pay the mortgage,his own work is slack and he's raging...wife has to phone him today and say it's gonna be another 8 week's,god knows his reaction.

on the plus side the weekend starts soon and the f1 is on,i'll perk up a bit but after that i'll be down as ever.
 
Goin through a fairly bad patch myself last while, stomach always tense, very jumpy and moody. been to the doc and as usual meds is all they come with and fob you off. @ biggles have you been tested for an under active tyriod and diabetes as your symptoms and general mood are classic signs of either. Not trying to alarm you but i would get it checked m8. The reason I know this is my daughter has both and have read extensivly about it.
 
as said make sure your eating propperly. and look in to s.a.d to see if that could be contributing. i used to get like this all the time. now im only bothered when work stresses me out or im haveing cash flow issues.
 
i am diabetic mate,got news last month my body is running out of insulin aswel,had my 2nd vasectomy yesterday (it's aching....far worse than the 1st time),tv blew up,rent not getting paid,got a car that is fubared...it's all coming on,i'm strong minded but all this is wearing me down more and more,losing hair and boils on my leg's suggest stress.

i'm hate anti depressants as the wife was on them before and she went nut's,we split up a lot off times back then so i know some off the effects they can have,i'm trying to deal with it best i can but being on the bread line and having so many things go wrong lately is hard to deal with
 
Firstly Biggles the hair loss is a direct symtom of the diabetes, my daughter was diagnosed at 12, she has long blond hair and she would wake up in the morning with tufts of it on her pillow it really stressed her out. The good news at least about that part is it stops and your hair growth comes back to normal its just a reaction to the diabetes. All the things you talk about are not helping your situation either it must be so hard. If I was a betting man I would say from what you describe about your wife she was on seroxat can you confirm this or was it somthing else. Are you type 1 or type 2 diabetic. If admins are reading can they make this thread a stickie or somthing. There are not many places for people to vent how they feel and I feel this could be the start of a very constructive and wellworthy thread. if members who find this sort of stuff funny etc It would be greatly appreciated if you didnt comment in a negative way as somtimes it can only take one more thing to send somone over the edge.

i'm type 2 mate,will be going on insulin after xmas i have been told,have had it 7 years,had boils etc but never hair loss,it's nothing too bad tbh but worrying non the less.

have had a really bad year and it's getting worse,i didn't think it could tbh,show's how much i know.

we have had 2 babies in the past 2 years so we knew it would be tuff going but it's all taking it's toll,we have 4 boy's altogether,older ones are looking money for school trips and so we put ourselfs in debt to pay deposits,we thought it was ok but now this rent stuff has came about and we got the new car (new to us) reason being was so we only paid insurance once,i did have a 7 seater jeep and the wife had her car...long winding road and the easy version is the car need work doing to it,we have no money for it,rent needs paid and we have no money for that either,feel so hopeless not being able to get a decent job...like many thousands off others.
