Has anyone on here ever felt down? I mean really down in a bad place? How do you get out of it?

Talk to someone boss!
Don't resort to alcohol.
Have you got any close friends or family you can confide in?
I don’t drink, thankfully.
Marriage is falling apart, I feel very alone.
Take things one hour at a time, don't try to think to far ahead and be kind to yourself. It's an awful place to be, but with support and plenty of talking things will get better-Don't suffer alone. Good luck mate.
I opened up to my mates and it was a real help. I was wary about doing it but it's the best thing I could have done.
Seek help, don't be afraid to as a bloke, go see your GP, whatever you feel comfortable doing to get support
No matter how bleak things seem at the moment things will get better in time. It seems a cliché but it's true. And things are always seem worse at night. Hang on in there and talk to someone. And if you want to feel less isolated check out the Meetup website that includes social groups of all descriptions - and the best groups of all, in my humble opinion, are the walking groups. A combination of physical activity, socialising and enjoying the countryside is wonderfully therapeutic.
I've been there.
I don't think there are any short cuts, but you'll get there eventually
Having something to aim for was helpful to me

I Hesitated to comment as it's not easy , all I can say is take all the positives from the great posts above , as TBG says get out and about , I find walking , listening to music on headphones or a radio comedy podcasts very therapeutic, try some light reading such as escapism novels , like Lee Childs ,they can greatly help ,anything on TV that has a light escapism theme .
Good luck ,it can be and I'm sure will be a moment in you life you can get over .
Don’t keep it all bottled up mate try and find someone you can talk too there’s no shame in that, keep strong and you’ll eventually get there, there’s plenty on here you can pm
Hi fella, been there for a long time. I tried pills from the doc but I didn’t like how they made me feel. I resisted counselling for years, but when I finally gave in, it helped me a great deal. I strongly recommend giving it a go, there’s no judgement, but it’s also not a magic solution, It’s really surprising how talking can help you. DM if you need more info.
First step you have admitted it to a load of guys on a messageboard, next step, share your problems, what may be massive to you is straightforward to someone else . Good luck , don’t do anything stupid and there are loads of people out there who will help.
Listen to or watch the Joe Rogan podcast with Tyson Fury as the guest. He gives some heartfelt advice from a very personal perspective as a victim
Link below to the crux of it

Been there. Marriage broke down. Was in a very very dark place for 6 months but you do eventually come through. That was 10 years ago. Now I'm in a far better place. Time definitely heals.
Good luck
My advice and it has helped mates of mine, is get talking, my ex-next-door-neighbour ( he has since moved to cornwall ) suffers alot, very unhappy bloke, we would often spend Friday afternoon in Starbucks / Costa having a chat, he has broken down and cried in front of me a fair few times
I have another mate who has been living in hotels since Nov as his wife all but kicked him out, she id suffering with " something " after having a baby , he says i listen and laugh at his woes, but it helps him
Now I wouldnt say i am a " sympathetic bloke " but I will listen and thats the main thing, i will chip in with a odd joke or bit of advice, it seems to work
so my advice, find someone to chat to, it might not be your closest friend or family member, it could just be someone who know from a random walk of life, but do find someone and do talk about it

There is loads of really good help and advice online so you are most definitely not alone, and will therefore find someone and something that will make you feel better.
Don’t worry.
Thanks everyone. I'm off to see the GP next week. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step etc...
You're definitely doing the right thing. Good luck, mate
This is excellent advice mate
Get out of the house and find new things to do would be my best suggestion
Stay strong though whatever you do ����
All the best. Hope you work it out ok
There are no quick fixes. Be strong. Be proactive. It will take time, but you'll get through it.
Been going through depression and anxiety for a while now myself, I can't offer any advice as it's not something I've really dealt with despite trying much.
I've always put off going to speak to the GP or counselling as I don't feel comfortable talking about these things face to face. However it's only getting worse and I shall be seeing the GP soon. A close friend has also recommended counselling and said it worked very well for her brother in law, just seems a bit American but maybe they have these things right.
Good luck with it.
Good luck mate, take your time and make sure you speak to someone about it.
