Not alone.

 This is from .Active Patriot. He has 118.6k followers on da tweeeeter. 

Mental health and depression are real. My only wish if worse come to worse is to be buried near my mum, if anyone can make that happen I'd be internally grateful. Sorry in advance if I've let people down but this pain is unbearable, I don't think I can do this no more.

I would like to apologise to everyone, I'm sorry I've not been in touch, I'm not in a very good place at the minute, when I feel better I will thank every single one of you for your messages of support, you've made me realise am not alone and for that I'll be forever grateful.

Some comments,

This has shocked the hell out of me. You don't know me, but mate, we need you. You're a legend. Please know the way you're feeling will pass. Be strong and focus on this fact.

DM me, I will give you my number. Let’s talk this through. I have been where you are. I ate the whole bottle of aspirin. Thankfully someone found me. I know it doesn’t feel like it, but your are stronger than you think.

Just seen this, hope you are ok fella! Please don’t do anything hasty and make sure you speak to someone close ok, you have thousands of followers on here that love what you do and would be happy to help, take care my friend.

I’m so sorry you are feeling so very bad atm. Yes depression is awful and sometimes medication can make everything very unclear. You have to count the good days, because whilst they might be smaller in numbers, they are worth 100 bad days. Have a goal and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Thank you so much for all you do, WE really appreciate you and your work. WE need you, so let us be here for you.

You have many followers who are concerned- and it takes guts to take note what you said - and to apologise - you work hard on exposing what is happening - and we are grateful for it - I truly believe what we are witnessing has dragged you down.

Don't ever, ever give up. There are lots of people that can help you including me. All you have to do is reach out your hand, take the first step and make contact. Know that you are not alone in this fight .

The rampant corruption in government and deliberate destruction of our country is taking its toll on many of us mentally, you're definitely not alone but I know you're an absolute warrior and you'll get through it, stay strong buddy, we're with you.



We have to have hope, there is no other way.

Make today the best day of your life. Thanks for popping in.

    1. I'm wondering why my comment was removed. It brought tears to my eyes as I said. It was very moving and I did understand what the post was about. I won't go into detail but it moved me for reasons close to home.

  10. I am a 24/7 carer for my husband who is bipolar. We have been together for over 30 years. Last year he spent six weeks in a psychiatric hospital and I visited him everyday. I have seen how depression and anxiety can spiral out of control. Sadly, resources are very limited in this country for mental health support. The pandemic has made things worse. Thankfully, with a strict medication regime and my support, he is able to lead a relatively normal life. But I worry what will happen to him if I can't cope any longer, as I am in my seventies and suffer with asthma and arthritis. I feel very strongly that more help should be readily available to people who suffer with mental health issues, but this area of the NHS seems to be a poor relation, as it has been for many years.

    1. Thank you for sharing your story. You actually understand the post. It's about supporting those who are going through hard times. The cause of the depression is irrelevant. People have different coping levels. Sinking to rock bottom is a dangerous place to be, there should be more support. You must look after yourself.

  11. I know there isn't a lot of help for carers,but l would encourage anyone to check they are getting as much support as they are entitled to.Citizans Advice,Carers Support Groups, local councils and charities may be able to offer advice.

    1. Thank you for that. I think people can be a little bit shy about asking for help.
