Guest Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Last week I dropped my meds dosage from 30mg to 20mg (max dosage recommended is 40). Anyway... Is it my change in meds causing my mood to drop or is there a big increase in unpleasant news this week? Trump talks about printing money like it's a game NZ has priced out tent dwellers Another plane gone missing US credit card debt rocketing, jobs dwindling The sun is shining but even that isn't cheering me up...

It tends to focus on negative stories and is full of miserable b's Hope your feeling better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means watch films and series and read some books, just avoid everyday news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.. None of those things affect you directly, if you didn't watch the news you wouldn't evening know they were happening. Be selfish for a change an focus on yourself.. do some things you enjoy and see if the mood passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP: if you have any open country nearby, get out into it. On a bike or on foot. If you're deprived of anywhere open, a riverside or even a city park can beat industrial farmland.

Riedquat Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Welcome to noticing the world as it is. Your own surroundings and company should be guard against it but we're too busy screwing those up for frankly daft reasons. It's unpleasant but the more people who realise it the greater the chance of something being done about it and the greater the chance of life actually improving. Pretty darned remote chances though. Depression is a raional reaction to looking at the world around you, most people just keep themselves too busy and distracted to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahBell Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's ok to be frustrated by the crap going on in the world. For a short while anyway. As others have said get some fresh air and don't listen to the news. You can't do anything about it anyway so no point worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 What meds are you on ? Everyone is assuming these are anti depressant meds - but they could be something else ? Anti-depressants. Side effects when increasing or reducing include depression... Feel a bit better at the mo... work is not helping... started a new role as old dept removed through restructure (council).

If I let myself get depressed about where I work I would have jumped of a bridge years ago. Clue - it's not a favourite of this site Anyway - where you work could be worse - wherever it is.

I agree the rest of the world is pretty grim, there are some HPCers living the Dordogne dream or whatever abroad but even most of France is a concrete Godforsaken shithole...why do you thin k we have the world queuing up to get in and indeed leave France. The depressing thing is we are doing our best to wreck our green and pleasant land in the name of GDP and less happy lives because we see immigration as the only means of funding the welfare we have promised ourselves.

To be honest I'm going to have to abandon the list, it's getting out of hand. It would be simpler to keep a list of people who aren't on the list.

My wife works for the local council; the impression I get is that it's a pretty depressing place, well maybe not the place but the makeup of the workforce.

I'd say it focuses on reality, it's just that most people are too ignorant to realise it or in too much denial to accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depressing thing is we are doing our best to wreck our green and pleasant land in the name of GDP and less happy lives because we see immigration as the only means of funding the welfare we have promised ourselves. Oh all too true, it's bonkers and completely and utterly criminal whenever we cause any damage to it. Look at all the bits of Britain relatively untouched by physical development in the last 100 years or so but which has benefitted from the advances that have got rid of all the downsides of that time, it's utterly wonderful, and it's any damage and threat to it that is what's largely responsible for me being miserable (plus people clamouring for all the changes that screw it up). To be fair to France though the fact that it's got half the population density is readily apparent and very much to its benefit in the general feel of much of the country, but certainly the awful stuff they build makes the typical British housing estate look stunning. For some bizarre reason they seem inspired by Soviet architecture. Did enjoy my 15 months in the south of France though (once I'd settled in, took me a while).
