Default Those who know about depression....

Been a while since I posted, but I'm really feeling fooked up just now. I split up with my girlfriend just over two weeks ago and I just can't get over it. I feel so bad. I feel like I'd be better off dead because my life is just such a waste and I have no confidence left inmyself anymore. I've just started at uni in Huddersfield and my housemates are all like "oh you'll meet someone else" but out of the 6 of us I'm the only person in the house not to have a partner, and I don't have anyone to go out on the prowl with as a result. But I love my ex so much and we only really split because I moved here and she lives near york and as the only one of us who drives, she finds it too hard to have to travel here to see me and only really see me at weekends.

Now, a month back she was talking about moving out with her mate. I've just told her she can stay here with me and either commute or get a job here and she said she doesn't wanna move out.

I just feel so fucked up. I've been drinking since 12 today and I think I'll be going to the pub when my cans run out. I just dunno what to do with myself. What I need to know is whether I'm actually depressed or not. I just feel so shit and keep crying all the time. I just wanna sit in the house and drink alcohol while listening to depressing music. I feel shit but when I'm with the lads I can let go a little and have a laugh. Is it possible to be able to do that when you're really depressed or would I feel so down all the time that I wouldn't even go for a drink with the lads?

Any help is much appreciated and I'm sorry to have to burden others with my shit. It just helps to let it all out.

Thanks folks....

Hey Buddy,I'm a firm believer in a problem shared is a problem halfed, so by letting your feelings out it may get better, I'm not going to give you all the cliche's like "plenty more fish in the sea and all that" as I'm sure you're getting enough of them from people allready.
All I will say is just to give it some time and see what happens, I'm sure deep down you know that drinking doesn't help though.I've had a pretty bad week too if thats any consolation, but as I heard in a film once,"you just gotta keep on keeping on!"
Chin up buddy, give it some time.
Andy

Hi mate

You are definitely a little depressed, but it won't be proper clinical depression.

How old are u? 18? Unfortunetly thats when depression is most likely to strike - young men coming out of their adolecense.

Uni is a major life event - so u'll be under a lot of stress with that. Living with a load of people with partners at uni is a bit unusal - that prob wont last.

Id try and forget going back with ur gf - think that chapter in ur life is over and u should move on. Its not good imo to be with someone when u start uni - goto the pub and get drunk with someone random - u'll have a buzz...

Hi guys. Thanks for you words. I'm actually 22. Just gone to uni a little late.

She's just replied to my text telling me she's sure she'll have a lot of fun in manchester this weekend. I've jsut lost my bond cause there's now 3 dents in the wall of my room. How can women be so cruel???

I'm 24 mate. On my second degree so have lots of experience. Thewhole i'll have fun in manc thing does seem a little harsh. Im in manchester tonight - and it is a buzz lol. She probably didnt think that she's rubbing it in - ive had girls do the same recently - and i dont think they realise theyve just kicked u in the bollocks. U need to have ur own fun in Huddersfield

I was clinicly depressed for 3 yrs, to be honest in you'l block ne remote possibility of anythinmg positive the way you feel at the moment, but one thing to do is surround yourself with the things that made you happy. For me that was music, id force maself 2 go out 2 gigs, or to play em more coz im in a band, and obviously my passion for fords, i started working on ma XR2 and now i got the RS..

Relationships are always the best thing in the world and then the worse when there over, but if you split on the terms that things would be awkwad while your chasing your carear atleast its been on good terms, you can appreciate the time and fun youve had. Where as if you'd split coz she had cheated or you had or something bad, then it would be alot worse. Cherish the time you had together, you obviously didnt spend however long you where together depressed so why torture yourself now.

Feel free to post back, i been through hell last few years and ive come through it all despite alot of shit still going on, ive learnt to be stronger and not soak everything up. It is a stupid and overheard cliche but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

And if you still feel bad in 2 weeks, il take you for a spin in the RS coz im up visiting ma mate and ma x who r both at Hudderfield uni.

Thanks again guys. She's been a bitch. We spilt over the distance thing but now she's saying she doesn't want a relationship and she just wants to have fun. I dunno what to do. I've got 16 paracetemols in front of me plus one and a half cans of lager and I am seriously considering taking them. I'm devastated. I can't handle the way I feel.

my wife got very depressed after she had a bad car crash and started drinking a huge amount and said she saw no future in us and was crying alot,i took her to the docs and he gave her some mild anti depressents and told her that its the drink that makes you feel worse so you drink more cause you feel bad and so on,try and cut down the drink as this will not help ya and try and get some anti depressents,talk to your family,brothers sisters or good friends back home,even good old MUM,

dude, I'm a qualified ambulance tech. do not take the 16 pills as it will basically burn your stomach lining out and cause you to be very ill, this is not the way forward.You may be feeling very down at the moment but you need to remember better times, as these are gonna be coming along soon.Just think of your future dude, you have got so much time infront of ya to do great things, taking pills and od'ing is not a good future.
It's only a suggestion , but why not go to bed, sleep it off and start a new day tomorow.I allways find that when I'm down a cuppa helps too!
C'mon dude, look toward your future.
Andy

Shit mate, I'm really sorry to hear about whats happened.

Things will get better in time! I know its no consolation to you now but time is a healer. Dont going doing anything stupid as you've got your life in front of you. Stop and think about what your doing and what you plan to do. I know it will be hard but you will come out of this stronger and a better person

Andy, very wise words indeed mate

you need to not be alone at this moment!!!, go out and meet up with a few mates, go have some fun,
Women are strange creatures dude and they get some kind of twisted pleasure from knowing you are suffering, why let the bitch win, go out, get wasted, find another bird, bin the pills get positive

Keep smiling

Remember, don't just live life....LOVE IT!!!

Bluesmoke, chin up dude. I mean if you going to university you will be studying and hopefully gaining a proffession that one day wil help my children in sum way. Look at it in that way that as you lose one thing you gain another.
Years ago I had the same issue and me so called best mate was seeing megirlfriend. I tried ending my life and me other mate found me. i then found sumone else , my current partner and now have 2 kids a house etc.
I'm sure you will get through this.

And, if its any consolation, my sister has just found out her chap in 4 years has been cheating on her with 7 women and he shas 4 different kids through em all.

All the best to ya dude

Im real sorry to hear what your going thru, a while back my wife left me & i was soooo down it was unreal! It felt like it would never get better but you know what mate IT DOES GET BETTER! Ok, i still think about her sometimes but i dont sit there constantly thinking about what if's. I posted up a thread on pf night my wife left & the response i got in return was brilliant & i believe that really helped me. So although it's gonna seem real difficult for you to cope with you've got to stay strong & you will come thru it ok.

Yeah mate. It definately will get better. The way you gotta look at it is that if she is being a bitch now better to find out and move on rather than let her do it in 5 years time when you might have a couple of kids, house etc. Jog her on because there are a lot of nice decent birds out there.

Unfortunately its human nature to always want what you can't have and they play on that. The worse she treats you the more you want her. Turn the tables. Don't pander to her and she will be the one missing you. She sounds like a right bitch with her comment about having fun in manchester. You're better off without her as not all birds are like this. Thing is you gotta experience a naff bird to appreciate a good one. Make no mistake you will get over this, you will meet someone else and you will be happy.
