A Depression Thread

[Killy_Vorkosigan]

I wish you all suffering depression to find the inner strenght and all the outside help you can get !

My personal history, is having a close shave from burn out at work : I started to feel overconfident, worked 12h a day, worked at home, sometime came at night to work, I was an absolute dickhead, had insomnia, I was drinking 2 bottle of vodka a week... then after a year without holiday, managing to achieve my goal at work, I took two weeks of holiday (my boss kinda forced me to).

I ended sleeping for two weeks cause body takes it over mind at some point.

After a visit to the doctor (at work), she made me realised that I went close to burn out. Back home, I throwed away my bottles of alcohol, bought some sport shoes, then pushed the door to the gym.


This being said, after two experiences around me, of people suffering mental diseases who snapped and became violent, I'm very wary of this. My uncle left my nephew in the middle of nowhere, an ex friend, overnight, sent me death threat on my phone while he was attempting suicide. I had to call for help and he mugged two firemen, trying to rescue him, and he ended in military psychiatric hospital for one month.

You guys take care of yourselves and ppl around you o7
