Psychiatrists?

How about Tai Chi or yoga, both are good are allowing to you to meditate and reflect in ways that we don't often get chance to, great for the health too and no bad side-effects whatsoever.

I dunno if this has been said, I dont have time to read the whole thread at the moment, but its a proper scientific fact that exercise helps with depression. I doubt it would bring you back from the edge of suicide, but the endorphines help re-esablish a healthy chemical balance in the brain.

We all have some terrible times in life and I really hope you get sorted by whatever way is right for you.

My dad did a university backed study of psych's of all types...a team of academics he worked with came to the conclusion (informally) it was little better than pub talk....no I am not joking.

My last post sounded flippant. It was not meant to be. I am not going to go into detail, but you are not alone in how you feel. It's not any easier to take, but all you are being is human, it's when you stop feeling that you should worry. The modern world is built for machines, politicians and businessmen not humans.

Not convinced about tai chi or yoga (I already have enough trouble convincing people I'm straight) but some form of martial art is definitely a good idea. I'm not sure right now where I'll be for this next year but when I know I'm going to look into doing something like that. Muay thai ideally, but it depends what's available.

As for volunteering and helping people, it's a nice idea in theory, but it wouldn't work because I just don't get on with people. At all. I always seem to just upset them and make myself angry.
