You may find this podcast interesting or read this transcript.
If you read the early stuff I did you'd know that it isn't easy to describe it but you go low and down and whilst it isn't mental health in the way we'd know it in a clinical sense it is real and difficult to deal with. I mainly dealt with it on my own but I know I affected those around me whether knowingly or just by the way I was.
I still have highs and lows and I still get the odd flash back because it is this time of year, when I discovered the problem, saw my doctor with varied reactions as he was not a bedside manner guy and then met the lady who diagnosed me, got me into Hospital quickly and did the Operations and all the treatments etc.
There's things like waiting, worrying, letting your mind (I am particularly bad at this) per mutating all possible outcomes and then much to my personal shame, there's the fallout of divorce and quite a lot of wasted time and energy when I should be doing good stuff and celebrating.
Anyway, if you are having a bit of a rough time of it, have a listen - you are very much, not alone.
