That doesn't mean Shinji's right, though. I'm watching some Gurren Lagann at the moment; Simon's pulling himself out of his depression.

Go, Simon!

Is this an anime show or just a regular ol' normal show? Also, on a serious note, it's a tough thing to pull yourself out of, been there a few times :(

Lets be cynical buggers together, and shout at people to get of our lawns! XD

I guess the idea of going out to clubs, having to avoid broken glass on the floors, trying to yell your order over the overly-loud music that blares through the speakers isn't my idea of fun. If I go out for a drink, it's to a tea shop for a cuppa and a scone!

Fairly similar here. I’ve been clubbing once. That was with my OH mainly because she wanted to try it.

It's not for me. I'm teetotal (not that it means you can't go out), but it does mean that in your sober state you're watching those around you who are more than slighly inebriated make utter plonkers of themselves; I'd just rather not be around that. I mean I have no problem at all with people drinking, but I'm sure you can drink and be sensible about it rather than just trying to get drunk for the sake. It can't be good for the wallet, or the body for that matter!

Again something else we are fairly similar on, I don’t abstain from drinking just don’t do it to excess by any means!

it’s an anime, one I’d recommend!

Oops, falling behind here. Yeah, Gurren Lagann is indeed an anime series. It's from Gainax, the studio that made Evangelion.

Also, it's the same writer/director combo as Kill la Kill, another easy recommendation. ;)

I wish I was more like Simon than Shinji!

@~AyaMachi~: For the record, that name's pronounced 'See-mon', as if it were French.

This is very true. Some just don’t take it seriously when it can be very debilitating.

It really can. It got to the point where I had to ask for help. I'd been to ashamed to, and tried really hard to hide it, but it got to a point where it got too much. Everyone is different and it affects people differently, but it's an illness all the same, and it really is awful to have.

Haha, I'm sorry Neil, but you appear to be the Shinji of AUKN!

Hey, no worries, no rush at all. I'm just off for some tea, I'll be back soon :)

Yet another similarity, I’m on some meds now, they help to some degree but definitely not a cure all. Fixing triggers where possible is best imo.

Haa, no way! Me too. I never started in the first place.

SNAP! XD Yeah, I just never aqcuirred a taste for the stuff. I'll be honest and say there's personal choice at play too; I'm just not bothered about it really. The most I'll stretch to is a shandy occasionally, but I'd rather stick to cola or a good old cup of PG Tips :D

Absolutely. Hey dude, I've been on them myself, and to be fair, they do help in so much as trying to clear your mind and balance the chemicals and stuff. But as you say, they're not a cure all. Many have a combination of meds and CBT, but as I said, everyone is different, and needs to be addressed differently.

I really do hope that you will feel better over time, becasue trust me, I know how it is. My nurse has even told me recently to just keep an eye on my mood, because I suffer with pernicious anaemia (my body doesn't absorb B12 and it's kind of important), and that actually affects my overall mood as well.

I may not know what to say, but I do understand :)
