Default Re: Depression, Anxiety

Pepscobra,
RC is on the money.
I went onto a mental health plan (a VERY hard thing for me to face up to, but something had to be done!) I think I did 9 out of 10 sessions.
Whilst this didn't cure me, it did help.
Anyway, a few years later, I'm still above ground (something that wasn't a sure thing a few years ago) but was chasing some health problems. To cut a long story short, I have been diagnosed with hemochromatosis, or iron overload disorder (heritable condition).
Amongst the symptoms are tiredness/lethargy, and a predisposition to depression. I'm not sure which comes first, the chicken or the egg, but it' sure hard to deal with your emotions when you're overtired.
With this condition, I've had to cut back my drinking, which has also, I believe, had a positive effect on my health.
Hang in there, see the Doc, maybe get on a mental health plan, if necessary, but make sure you don't isolate yourself. That becomes a vicious cycle.
Get out with mates, enjoy a few (I said a few ;-) ) beers, enjoy time with the family.




But hang in there!!
