Depression

[Wine_maker]

Hi Bloodyaussie!

One of my friends is a doctor. Once he said an interesting thing:

"Life is a great thing if you take right antidepressants."

Its not important - mud racing, hunting, fishing etc until it can hurts you and your relatives, but gives you pleasure, it will save you from depression for a long time.

Be health and chin up!

I have been suffering for 3 years and only now getting on top of it and slowly reducing the amount of anti depressants I have been taking. It is a debilitating sickness but it is treatable. To any one who says toughen up princess in a serious(not a joking/helpful manner) don't understand. Big respect for stepping up and sharing thanks mate. And to all the other lads on here for the support being shown it means a lot to see this


Cheers boys(and ladies)

I would never say that to someone... a good mate of mine topped himself a few years ago and he was so loved by all his friends and family and he loved them but it was not enough and one day the bipolar got the better of him and he ended it..

I struggled with it for a bit as I was supposed to go round and help him out with 3 motorcycles he just bought from the auction...????????????

When thinking of charities to donate to on behalf of the forum in future this is worth considering, eg meet up or ???

WOW.......... first,thanks BA for opening the door on this issue.
I was at a stage in my life where i was always grumpy yelling at my wife and kids all the time,no matter whatever i did i just did'nt feel happy.
Now i have never had thoughts of selfharm BUT often when i was driving to or from work i would find myself thinking about just driving untill i run out of fuel and see where i ended up and then go from there,i honestly thought no body would miss me.
My wife convinced me to go the doctor and i was told i have depression,nuh not me no way im a happy guy like a good laugh and shitstir ive never tought about killing myself,the doc gave me some paperwork to do and when i sat down and read it i realived that alot on that sheet was ME.
I never spoke to any mates about i thought it was consdiered weak and would often think to myself toughen up you weak prick get over it,but once it has you it won't let go.
As it is my family and and a handfull of good mates are the only ones that know.
After reading this im not alone and weak,so thanks BA

Dont worry about the doc, and your gun license, talk to him/her or it ( LOL ) I never went done the medication path, turns out I was a diabetic hence and depression was a side affect of body sugar issues.. better to be safe and sorry.. its not like your gonna walk in and say hey doc " I have a gun and Im think I have depression" , if you say that you may as well swear and tell him that you own a.... cough cough PRADO ( sorry for swearing guys )
