Doctors say that everyone, at some point in their lifetime, will experience some sort of depression.
But the biggest difference between feeling bad after your sports club loses the championship and still feeling crappy on grand final day the following season notwithstanding your team essentially lifting the cup, gets down to time.
Most medical literature will quote two weeks as the imperative period to get over things. If you have had bad thoughts, gloomy thoughts or mad thoughts and they persist past a fortnight, you could have an issue.
It could strike after the loss of a friend (including pets and stars), the loss of a job (infrequently a blessing in disguise), the loss of virginity (don’t tease) or the loss of motivation, self confidence, and a reasonable excuse to get up in the morning.
After depression, worry or panic attacks set in, even something as easy as picking your wardrobe becomes a difficult experience.
I used to stand there in bitter cold just gazing at my clothing. I could not decide between t-shirt-jeans-jumper, t-shirt-jeans-sweater and t-shirt, jeans, pullover. I actually froze before my clothing (nothing rhythmical about that and little to do with the season), trying to figure out the best way to blend 1,2,3 items of (admittedly debatable) fashion in the most highly effective way.
In reality, it’s actually quite tough to tell someone you’ve an issue. Even your mother or father.
Girls have Oprah, Cosmo and The View.
But if you are an Australian bloke, you don’t a have a problem – you just get on with it.
Easier said than done. Especially when just getting out of bed to go to work, college or uni becomes unpleasant. And that’s real pain, not something imagined or invented.
And how do you tell your mates? Or somebody you have just began seeing? Or a potential employer? It may literally make or break your probabilities, relationships and livelihood.
In spite of the best efforts of high profile psychological fitness advocates like previous Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett and credible charities such as Beyond Blue, The Black Dog Institute and great campaigns like ‘RU OK? ‘ there still remains – unfortunately – a palpable stigma around anything to do with psychological illness.
Perhaps it is that awful word “mental”?
It probably implies a lot of negative and scary ideas for folks who can luckily (thru sheer luck of biology and brain chemistry) brush off the most dire or intense of situations like water off a familiar duck’s back.
You straight away think ‘crazy ‘, ‘wacko ‘, ‘madman ‘, ‘insane ‘, and ‘psychopath’. That is some strong language, particularly when the remit of such terms can include any person from Michael Jackson to Ted Bundy to your ex.
But the solution (or at a minimum, step one) is essentially very simple.
Instead of suffering quietly, just go and see a doctor. First and foremost your GP. Next, contingent on the severity of your ailment, you should be sitting in anywhere from the waiting lounge of an advisor, consultant, psychologist or psychiatric expert, to (in critical cases), the ER.
But it’s got to be better than being surrounded in your bedroom all day frightened to go outside.
