A permanent solution to a temporary problem

I have to admit, this seems quite tempting at times, I know its not a solution to anything in reality but the mind can work in mysterious ways sometimes. For those that know me, you'll find this kind of negativity quite unusual coming from me, I'm normally the one making the inappropriate jokes (incidentally, if you do have any amusing anecdotes, please add them below ;-)). This post it is more just a way for me to 'verbalize' my thoughts, I figured it may help some of you out there too. I've told my wife about these feelings, spoken with my GP who has prescribed me some anti depressants that I've been taking for the last six months it just feels like things have got a bit...worse recently (hence the title). I find myself getting angry at inconsequential little things, stuff that doesn't matter, things I have no business getting annoyed about. I get pissed off that I can't get a job and keep getting knock backs, I'm annoyed at the hand life seems to have dealt me. I guess you could say the wheels have finally fallen off the cart as it wasn't like I had a childhood that was exactly free of family dramas (different story). Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to share, I feel a little better now :-).

Oh dear, Gav. All I can say is that it looks as though there's not enough nice/productive/occupying/distracting things going on at the moment for whatever reason. Meanwhile,there's plenty of worries/regrets/irritations to more than fill the gaps. And, as we all know, these go nowhere. There's no single answer or solution but maybe a starting point is to find ONE THING you can look forward to and know that while you're going there/doing it you won't have these thoughts. I've been there, too. Big hugs xx

Here, <a href='https://shift.ms/community/people/Gav/' rel='nofollow'>@Gav</a>, it's not a time of year thing, is it? Everything looks terrible at this time of year. And who wants to venture out when it's cold and uncomfortable. I get depressed at this time of year as I like to be out in the open air when I can. Just bear with it, spring will be here soon and we can all start to get frisky again, :)
