Depression...

**Conquiztador** · 1st July 2010, 19:14

We had a thread re dating sites resently. On the one I was on there was a thread re depression, and I was amazed how many of the "regulars" on there admitted to being on prozac or similar medication. And prepared to say so. One would think that by admitting to needing daily medication you would cut down the possiblilities to attract a partner.

But perhaps not. Perhaps depression has become accepted? It affects many, if not most, in a way or another today. If you are not suffering from depression your self then it is almost certain that you know someone who does. As I am sure we have in this thread already mentioned, JK has done wonders re bringing depression out in the daylight. I wonder how many people he has saved unknowing? If I was asked to pick the next Sir in NZ he would get my vote.

Depression is recognised and is accepted. It is a serious medical condition affecting one in five of us. thank god its out in the open - think of the lives that are being saved.

Its great that even a place such as KB, with its staunch and macho members, is aware of and accepting of this insidious condition. the more we can all talk about it, the easier it is too deal with.

Well i spose the first step is admitting. I am currently going through a bad spell, work etc. I feel majorly depressed pretty much all the time. Things start to get on top & the more you try to get over them the worse they seem to get. Wont go into details but....it sux bigtime.

Is this going to turn into a 1X thread?

Don't think so. This is the longest running thread on KB with the most number of views. A lot of people read it even if they don't post. If the shared thoughts help someone, its been well worth while. I can say that plenty of private messages follow from here.

Well.. depresion,, a lot of people have never experianced it of even know what it is.
Something strange has happened to me over the last 3 weeks,, and would appreiate coments.

i live in a comfy hut on the thames coast.. the only thing about it,, its cold....
well lets rip it to bits and warm it up a bit...ok. down come 3 walls.. couple of bales of batts.. re gib it.. better allready...
up to the last wall.... tear all the lining off..eww.. rats nests....
i got some disinfectanct.. and cleaned eveything...
a few days later i was far from ok.... sort of like half pissed.. but i wasnt..
went up to the shop ,, and dong smacked straight into a tree,,, HTF did i do that??
something was wrong. very wrong. next morning i i went and saw my GP.
he took one look at me,, and straight to Thames hospital...
tests.. i have had more tests than you poke a stick at. needles all the way up both arms. over to Hams.. more tests..
all came back neg....had the Dr scratching his nut......a couple of nights ago i got up and went to the dunny.. which was about 6 steps away.i got back and sat on the bed.. i couldnt breath...i was sort of shit scared... here was a bloke that a week ago could walk to Paeroa and back.. and now i cant even walk to the dunny.................depressed.. no. not really....just pissed off i had been short changed in my life.. i still had lots to do..sometimes a person has to much time to think. a few times i had to sit down and have a talk to myself to stop myself going mad.over the next few days i spent a lot of time with the Dr... nothing was showing up.....the only thing was the rats... i may have been subject to some nasty shit from the rats. there is a diasese called lepro sporosus.. which is caught from rats, cows, and pigs... the test came back neg......i have had a few goog kickings in my life but nothing like this...iam out of hospital now. still a bit crook. but none the wiser. the Dr has made me do a follow up on the rat disese...
Has anyone had any experiance with this diasese?

Man that's tuff, can't offer much help on the mystery disease unless you've got a possible reaction between the rat pee ammonia and the disinfectant ? a mild form of chemical poisoning? a pure guess based on some mysterious reaction I had to a mix of chemicals once upon a time. Anyway, hope you pick up soon dude, nice touch of humour at the end of your tale

all the best.
