Depression.

I know I have written depression but on this website but despite of my worries of how different disabilities affect different strangely depression is even worrying because it can vary even more so. Like I think I said in my last or only other reports about depression I can't remember now, people with depression can feel sad whether we have a reason to or not, which can come and off at any time. Like anything depression can be different  for different people. It can be one way round or both ways round. For example I can go from not having any get up and go in me to not coping if I don't have anything going on in my life. It's like everything an effect but once I'm there you can't get me away but it doesn't always happen that way, it mostly does.

Depression is very unexplained because it's so different for different people. Depression go from very mild to major. Depression can make you feel as if life isn't worth, some of us can fight it but others can. Some go on for years fighting and winning then lose in the end. There's no telling with one person to another how depression can affect us. What we do know is depression a very worrying health problem to have. Now just because I have a mild form of depression doesn't mean like writing about it and making you sad because I don't.  The truth of today's world and life is enough to rise the amount of people who suffer from depression for example people losing their job and the cuts backs that Britain are having today.

Referring back to what I said in the Anxiety report about no matter what's going on in the your life when Anxiety and depression kicks in that's how you feel. Many of us can get misunderstood for being ungrateful when we are not. Baring in mind our lives move from good to bad some good some bad times. Yes it would be boring our lives were just all good or just all bad. Then it just becomes a case of thinking well is there more good going on in our lives than bad or the other way round? However that happened it doesn't make any difference to people who suffer from Anxiety and depression not that we are ungrateful the god that we have got in life. Anxiety and Depression vary in it's self some of us suffer worse than others of us. There are that many different types  of Anxiety and Depression. Many of us can even find it turns round circles for us, which doesn't always affects us the same every time we have a spell of Anxiety and Depression. Despite of what we go through and no matter what we go through we I do anything think there's always someone worse off than myself, which is true even though it feels like the end of the world at the time of whatever I'm going through.


A lot of people say that depression can only work 1 way but not really for eg; some people
 can sleep too much, others don't sleep and others can find they face it both ways. Some things people can face with depression.


  • Feeling sad at any time, any place and anywhere with or without  reason.
  • Not feeling like doing anything but then feeling sad and anxious if you have nothing in your life at all http://www.anxieties.com/
  • Not having any get up and go but then not know when to stop if you do get started.
  • Getting stressed, frustrated and upset more easily than other people.
  • Getting angry and mood easily.
  • Thinking you can't cope in life.
  • Thinking you can't carry on.
  • Feeling weak.
  • Putting one's self down.
  • Feeling as if you are nothing and nobody.
  • No self- e stream.
  • Lacking confidences 
  • Not knowing own strength.
  • Finding it hard to see things getting better.
  • Feeling as if life isn't worth living.
Self belief can be a hard thing for a person to cope when they have Anxiety, depression, even other health problems, disabilities and etc. Despite of what I've just said we do achieve things but then in complete honestly need the support to believe in ourselves not to run ourselves down all the while. We understand that we can't completely achieve the same kind of life as people who have not any disabilities and health problems but there's still a of these people can achieve so to speak normal do tend to run us completely because they know we need a lot of support. If more people would start to think of the good in us and less of the bad in us, then we may start become a bit more confidence in ourselves. Just remember we are as human as you are at the end of the day.
Depression has always been high but now it's a lot more higher than it ever has been. Although the world suffer has suffered many wars and also the big depression in the 1930s. Now for the last five years Britain has been suffering a credit crunch, cut backs and many banks are in debt. These kind of things give people a lot more to worry about than a normal living life. If you have disabilities, health problems and your elderly today's stress is added onto you even more so but then the stress of the credit crunch can bring on health problems and even disabilities to people who have never had them with too much to worry about. We need to live in hope that the government doesn't make cuts on counselling and emotion support because depending what people are going through many would find it hard to get by.

Yes it's very sad indeed to know that the world has lost the actor Robin Williams who suffered from depression, he was so talented. My favorite work of Robin's has always been Mrs Doubt fire, Monk and Mindy. Oh no that's not my reason for writing about depression although when these things do happen I admit, it does raise more awareness of how serious depression can be but then having been an Advocacy worker and an Awareness trainer of learning disability and mental health as I know as someone who copes with these problems herself, depression can link into them.   http://www.depressionalliance.org/

Yes agree that cancer is very serious as well but depression can be just as serious for a lot of people if life get's on top of them. What I'm hoping is that the government doesn't make cuts on counselling and emotion support because people need to cope with life. I'm very sad and worried to say there's very little for us to be happy for today, if only that wasn't true I wouldn't say it otherwise.

On the bright side like Robin Williams depression doesn't stop a lot of creative people use our talent.  Those  of us with talents have all different talents otherwise the world would be boring. Never think because someone has got any disabilities or and health problems we can't do anything at all. Even people with depression not all the world is black and white, it's just getting the right support to get by. Sometimes we don't feel as strong as what we really are.   http://www.mind.org.uk/ for example my poetry. What's on your Mind? Try not to bottle it inside. It's all in your head. May be it is all in our head so you can never think that we don't think all just because we have to cope with disabilities and health problems. We aren't completely useless in fact we aren't useless at all .

No one knows you but you.

Anxiety and depression is a lonely thing in one way but not another. Why is that? It's within you. Without putting other people down no one know but you because you have to you have to live with the health problems not GP's or the Health Professions. Not that I'm saying there's not any help out there but professions can only help us so much some of helps us others don't but I can't really say that because it's different for different people because these GP's and Professions don't have to cope with what we do. For eg; what helps me doesn't help me or other people with health problems. What helps me is my poetry,story writing, my work, Counselling and Emotion support when I can get it.  Bare in mind different people suffer from different Anxiety and Depression and different things help it. It doesn't necessary mean that two people with the same type of Anxiety and Depression, the same health problems and so on can't benefit from the same kind of help for all. support and advice. There are people in fact just learn to live with it in their own because help helps and others doesn't or no helps helps. It's very rare that all helps helps cause the only people who know our own minds, what we are thinking, what are not thinking and everything else is ourselves not that we shouldn't if we need to or want to. What works for some people doesn't work for others so don't anyone tell you otherwise. What does and doesn't help you if you would like to share your stories with me. sarajgorman@gmail.com Never be force by anyone for anything things in your time if it has to be, otherwise just do what helps you. At the end of the day the choice is yours no one else's whatever you do or don't. I know myself if people try to push and force me I tend to feel even less sure of myself. Don't get me wrong we can only help ourselves in the best way we can.
