You're not alone out there - just look at this thread.
I haven't read the whole thread but so far haven't seen any bad advice. Personally I found counselling helped as did some medication to keep me on an even keel.
Close to home is the 'R You OK' initiative from the Club and for anyone in this position or close to someone who is, I recommend reading "Depressive Illness. The curse of the strong" by Dr Tim Cantopher. Not a big book, about 100 pages and not written by some evangelical yank just a straight forward brit.
It was during a low point I heard him talk on the radio and it was the first time I had heard anyone articulate what was I going through in a way I could understand. I got the book and it provided me with a better understanding and as a result helped me move forward. Depression is different for everyone, I've chipped in what helped me, hopefully in this thread you will pick up some things which resonate with you and slowly you'll get to keep the Black Dog under control |
