But you know what....looking back.....they are the more normal kids,the smart kids, the lucky kids, the ones who as I now scroll through Facebook.....have families. While the bullies are either dead or lonely drunks and so on. Your dead right....violence almost never amounts to anything good. Whether your a kid or a grown up...whatever your situation now, imagine going to prison for a one hit punch fatality, and dealing with that! |

Mate, I have not read the whole thread and I have zero experience when it comes to this illness, but if you ever need someone to listen and have a beer / coffee, sound me out! My mobile is 0438 290 441 (not sure if this is against the rules, but hey give me a call). I'm in Newy and would be happy to catch up.

Once knew where you are coming from because I was there for years ,these days I am mostly in the now not concerned about yesterday or tomorrow . The first time I ever achieved this state was listening to some recordings of Dr Robert Anthony the secret of deliberate creation. Still remember listening to my headphones and walking beside a river then realizing I was not thinking of the past or worrying about the future was an amazing feeling .

Hang in there mate. Imagine me standing beside you in court... all of us... as invisible supporters. And know that we'll still be around with a helping hand after the event —regardless of the outcome.

Depression can certainly alter one's perspective on everyday things happening around you, or create a distorted perspective of other people's motives or actions or speech. Even a single word used in the "wrong" place can trigger an overreaction in the depressed—which wouldn't affect the average person. Put simply, clinically depressed people are often on a totally different wavelength to other (mentally stable) people. But it's obviously not their "fault" as such.

I would like to socialise but must avoid any unnecessary public contact, thank you anyway. I will text as it gives me time to assure of what I'm saying is appropriate or not offensive therefore less risk of anxiety attacks

Let me say it again... if you FORCE me to defend with physical violence, i can't be Bruce Lee and control my actions, it is out of hand. I do not judge or insult, dictate to anyone on how they live their life, never have never will. My heart is kind but mind is broken, this why i type and not speak. Time Time Time Reflect and edit, can't do that in real time situations and that's my lot.

P.s. I've just allowed a certain previous ignorant comment to cause another fit I.E.D (intermittent Explosive Disorder ) which included an explosive verbal attack on my 85yo father, this i find too difficult to deal with solo, i will be away for a few days. Support each other to no end

Eg(I have a friend with bipolar and he gets very aggressive, he's big/tall, about 130kgs! Since school he's been in various scuffles and fights where either he's been picked on and snapped or was defending another. He's not once been charged as when it boils down, the other party never presses charges or he's cleared once they get the whole picture! He's pretty bad.) Normally the event would be judged by who initiated the first physical violence! Offender/victim. But in his case, extreme cases of "pushing him to the limit".....often puts the instigator title back on the person picking on the guy with the mental issues! That's reality and seems fair! |

The extremes don't define the argument, they are the outliers.
We need to recognise that the mental health system is broken. 20 years ago many of these people woild have resources to use that are no longer available. I know that being on the receiving end of an agressive person is no fun but the fact is many times they are not completely to blame. I've long thought that the amount spent on the prison system should be matched $ for $ with spending on the mental health system.

Imagine police are called to two diff incidents with one guy outside a pub screamin n yelling,wanting to fight anyone....and another doing the same outside a mental unit at a hospital........I can garuntee they shut the first guy down fast, and use tact and compassion in the second situation.......knowing there are clear extenuating circumstances! And your last story doesn't sound like all the facts are clear......as I've put two guys in hospital who tried to mug me(no weapons)in a Bunnings car park ...Broken arm, nose, face and so on! I just had a sore shoulder from a punch. The police didn't even look at me sideways, just a co statement from the Bunnings attendant and a high five from some dude who saw it from his ute! |

They talked him off my steps, put him calmly in the ambulance....NO cuffs, and one officer jumped in the back and they took off.....presumably back to the hospital. DESPITE the fact he'd cut an Ambulance officer! They certainly didn't treat the guy with a taser, a gun or a beat down stick like any other violent offender would be treated! |

I must disagree with you Castellan. As a school teacher, I know first hand that most kids I teach are creditable human beings. I think the 'degenerates' you refer to have always been with us since Adam. You do have an interesting point though regarding 'nowadays kids have not learned how to fight at school' and their associated willingness to kick someone senseless or permanently damage them, however this is maybe a sign of expanding mental illness in society???
Keep in mind that terrible crimes are nothing new... Last edited by superyob; 03-03-2016 at 02:55 PM. |

Very glad to see this topic here. Depression and Anxiety effects us all during our lives. My wife has been a Psychologist for most of her life and has dealt with just about everything you could imagine. If anybody is really concerned or worried about something, ask away for some good free advice.

Growing problem with depression is there are too many internet 'experts' who claim to know all about it. Their perceived in-depth knowledge on the subject is usually loosely based on internet experience or what some 'mate' who claims to have it. Usually they're just talking out their ***.
A thread like this gives us the opportunity to support each other. Not to beat your chest with ill informed opinions. And unfortunately those who live with or deal with us suffer as much. Be thankful you don't have it. |

Enough soapboxing and grandstanding, this thread is an outlet for those who are suffering from the black dog; a place they can just talk.
