My story -
Depression was never a word i ever thought i would need to discuss .... ever...... depression was a subject that you wouldn't want to discuss with anyone anyway as it was a kind of weakness and to associate yourself with that would be to lower yourself so what would be the point......
As we learn through suffering with depression how wrong and naive we were to think like that then it becomes a huge indicator that you are on the path to recovery because until you reach this point in your ability to be humble and accept , you will not progress to the next healing phase i have found and believe as it's these learning phases that seem to have come and gone with perhaps the odd dip back just to amuse yourself that you can beat this because you are now beyond where you were ... and this is a fantastic feeling as this then catapults your wanting to feel better on a more level basis more often and so learning new skills to live with this knowledge is key in rehabilitating the mind .... but in the early days it's tough going as we swing up and down and around the dancefloor of emotions that your mind has allowed to manifest thus removing your once strong ability to remain in control and operate confidently.
Once this is taken from you suddenly you are faced with some pretty grim options... two in my case.... one, end your life or two, take it on because you simply cannot leave behind someone who is your world and you them and so number two is your only choice and with this comes torment and torture the likes of which i still shake my head at with many succumbing to this horrible affliction....
.... it's a hideous place to be when life does this to you ... but, crucially i think we all then become far greater humans than we could have ever dreamed of and far better parents too... it's a journey or rollercoaster that sometimes you hold on to. gripping tight, then other times you merely allow it in because when we fight it , it seems to take longer to recover and if you have got this far and are reading this then you are probably as fascinated by this as me hence why i'm allowing this new passion to become my goal in helping new sufferers or indeed old sufferers work through this to be more in control with a diet and exercise plan anchoring my words and taken from my own journey.
I can honestly say i am not at all like the man i was just 3 years ago and for the many years before that i genuinely believed i was in control of yet strangeky knowing i wasn't.... that will probably ring some bells... because this is at the very core of how depression for me began... i was not seeing life the right way.... but now i know why!
These days , after my big crash to the ground from a great height i have now realised so much about who i was and who i am now.
Once depression has jailed you it literally is then about how long a sentence you will serve depending on the reasons and journey that have led you to that door and through it, that as much as you fought, there was simply no stopping it really from opening but it has now become the one best things beyond others that has made me a better person as said.... welcome to me, myself and LifeCddie*.
There is a lot more to say obviously but i am more than qualified to discuss with you your story as i am from my own story and successful management of this horrible affliction able to understand first and foremost but then help you quite quickly on your journey through and out of the other side. If any of this resonates then please get in touch and lets go ground on the golf course whether you play golf or not as it is not only therapeutic for your mind but also your body with the natural fresh air and breath work we will undertake coupled with a dietary plan which we can enjoy also out on the course ... and if you do play then there is a good chance your game will improve also as mine did, so it is literally a win win win !
