    I think for most of my life I've dealt with depression/anxiety issues.  It wasn't until last year, that I started taking medication and seeing a therapist regularly for it and it's helped keep me much more balanced emotionally.  I still feel overwhelmed several times during the day, which tends to stop me in my tracks on what I'm doing.  A large reason of my current sadness are events that have occurred over the past year and a half, however I believe the support has helped me deal with it as well as I could have.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Im glad that you went to a therapist & they,  with medication, have helped.  Feeling overwhelmed is a biggie for me too,  & life can effect how often it happens. 

    Im sorry you've had a difficult time over the past year or so. Difficult experiences seem to happen in clusters (completely un- scientific observation). 

    I hope you feel more & more benefit from therapy/ meds. It's a journey that is always better when you are able to talk to people & not feel alone. :hug:

    Feeling a bit down this afternoon after feeling good this morning. No idea why.
    I was working on a song in the morning until early afternoon, then spent 30 minutes on my bike and now feel low.

    Thank you for this.  I'm trying to be more open about it.  Talk about this has helped.

    I am sorry to read Rob.
    Have you considered a rehab center for your addiction?
    I am not sure what else to say seeing you are having bad dealings with the mental health system in the UK.
    As I have suggested, there are psychologists who offer Skype sessions if you want to find one that is out of reach where you live.

    I am not addiction expert but from what I know, the first step towards recovery is admitting you have a substance problem.
    From here you can take the next steps towards sobriety. 
    I wish you strength my man. You can do this.

    So many kind words for me, thank you all!  I checked in now and then to be sure you are all hanging in there.
    I didn't know I was unbanned yesterday because I was in the woods.  I put together a big magical treasure hunt for my son and his 2 cousins, ages 7, 5, and 4.  It was awesome, they totally thought the whole thing was real.  Fairies and pirate treasure and a troll to fear.  The frenetic pace of the set-up and the anticipation and expectation had me a little anxious, but only a natural and very manageable level.
    You guys nailed it, hiking and laying up the garden for winter lol

    Such a cool idea! :pirate:  Maybe you should be banned more often if it inspires that kind of magical thinking. ;)

    I didn't really guess--I played the troll.
