no user name Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 What your mental health like? I have a history of anxiety and depression. I can get anxiety attacks which affect my work a lot as I don't know when I will get them. Has made getting a permananent job very hard. People talk about mental health a lot more now which is good I think  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted June 7 Members Share Posted June 7 Tread carefully in these sorts of threads. I haven't suffered from the old clinny deps that badly recently. I did stare at the wall for about 3 hours the other day in total despair but that's fairly normal for me. As @PunkStep says "A video of Diego a day keeps the clinny deps away" It will be back soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Mine is shite but as Bacon said, be careful. The last two threads of this ilk have been deleted because wronguns have used information posted here to harass people in real life, even getting people sacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Up and down but I'm certainly more aware of it these days, rather than just thinking it was "normal" or whatever when I was younger. With more people talking about it, it definitely helps to understand it more. There's a long way to go with all of it, but I feel less alone.

I don't see the problem mate. No one knows me on here. And it's just for a discussion. It's not just about me Edited June 7 by no user name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's not a big problem for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that may go for other members on here, too. If you want to post your own details, fine, don't encourage others to do so as they may not have all the facts.

I mean if people want to talk about their mental health that's up to them. They make the decision. People talk about it on lots of forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a pretty tight knit community here and our offline identities aren’t too hard to find out. Whilst I’ve benefited from previous discussions on the subject on here, some have had that information used for nefarious means, such as getting someone sacked because they weren’t up front with an employer with their health conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who you were in your previous account(s) but you were clearly a bit of a knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If grown adults want to join in that's up to them i don't make them. People talk about mental health on loads of different forums. I don't know what happened on here but that doesn't mean it will happen again. Most people on this forum are nice I doubt it will be much of an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said most people on this forum seem nice. Mental health is discussed on lots of forums. Most with more twats on them than this one. Its a shame that that happened but that doesn't mean it will happen again. As I said I didn't start this thread to be about me. It's just a conversation. And people are free to join in if they want. And if they don't want to they don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
