When does one hit rock bottom?

[spraggdean23]

I can really empathise with you. I have had major depression for months now. I am considering going into hospital this week for it. It really sucks about the girl you liked but I think the best thing to do is try and accept she is in a relationship and move on as best that you can. Keeping yourself busy is a good way to keep the sadness or depression at bay and is something I really struggle with.

Hello,

Thinking out loud a bit so bear with me.... Are there some social type clubs at Uni ? That would be a good way to find some like minded Women. Do you have a MTB or Kayak ? Outdoor fun and a chance to find other like minded people. There are many Women out there that may seem nice, but wont be right for you. It goes the other way of course. A lot of smart blokes stay with the first Woman that gives them the time of day, because they dont want to be alone. There are many lessons in life you will have to learn, rejection ( being dumped ) is one of them, and not nice at all.

I hope you find a nice Woman, but dont rush things with the wrong person. You will have a lifetime of regret if you do.

take the pills if you must
but for God's sake get yourselves some cognitive behaviour therapy with a good therapist
get a mental health treatment plan through your GP
younger or low income folks can get anther bulk bill one as well

This is good advice.
I was not enjoying uni at all until I joined a sports team around the same time I made some extra friends and things became a lot better.

Hey everyone

Just need some advice on when you know you have hit rock bottom and advice on how too get back too even just half decent?

The first girl I ever felt special with and have liked for the past 6 or 7 years (like really true love if I have ever felt it,) I approach and ask her out once I get over my social anxiety only to find out she is in a relationship (two and a half years strong and apparently very happy) my closest mates find their love and are having great times. Even on top of that my sister just had the guy she likes ask her out to formal. University also is crap overall 2/3 especially accy200 and econ 240 with fin222 being slightly close to bearable. On top of that I have to prepare for half semester exams which I am just out of my mind how I am going to pass let alone continue with my degree. Work has so much left to do in terms of everything with lazy people leaving it. Only to see happy couples come in and buy alcohol for their night out. Now just randomly crying because I can't deal with it any more and I am already on anti depressants for OCD.

Sorry about that all just everything just cant work out for me. I am just utterly distraught and just have no other options which could possibly work in my favour.

Any advice people cause when it looked rock bottom previously it has just spiralled downwards five fold.

Kind Regards

Sorry to hear your having a rough trot OMF and I know a bit of what your talking about as I have been up and down and even have a depression thread here where I vent occasionally but just remember there are people around that care, a lot pretend to but then there are a few rare one's that actually do so please don't feel bad for having a little vent now and then. A few years ago I lost pretty much everything, most of my health..but slowly but surely building it back up, my ex of six years that I just had to walk away with pretty much only my car and now living back home with my mum as I had no money or anywhere else to go and she couldn't see me living on the street and we have our fights but at the end of the day I know she cares greatly for me and about what happens to me. I too have and still have great trouble with depression and have found meds don't work for me but that might be because of my brain injury and have found a few really good mates here so if you like my door is always open to you to chat, I'll PM you my phone number or you can message me any time :friends: There's heaps I could say but will leave it at that and that goes to anyone else that is having trouble and would like to talk as I have been to heaps of councillors and psychologist but find I close up as I have trust issues after getting screwed around by them and found talking to real people helped me a lot more so I'm here if need be :friends:
PM sent mate :good:

[oh my florin]

I would like to thank everyone for their support, I greatly appreciate it.

On how I have been going lately I have been to see the doctor who recommended a psychiatrist (due to already being on medication.) Generally it has been a bit easier lately however there are still issues I need to work through. One of the things that has worried me for a number of months has been my waning interest is coins as such I think I may give the hobby a bit of a break so that I can work on a number of other things atm. I will still be around the forums though but not adding to my collection.

Thanks everyone for your support
