Hi,

I'm not feeling at my best tonight and don't know where to turn. I had a big argument with my long term girlfriend yesterday, but i was feeling rubbish before then.
I've started to lose interest in my job which i used to love, i just feel like im existing and not living anymore. Nothing seems fun to me anymore.
Im finding myself wanting to be alone and shunning contact with people i care about.

In context, i live on an island, miles away from home, and feel very isolated. Im thinking of quitting my job because i hate it this week.

Im having difficulty motivating myself to do anything, and thinking about the future makes me want to cry. I just want to sit in the dark and cry. My concentration is shot to pieces.

Ive felt like this before, but worse before. I was on medication then, and that seemed to kick start things. But i also last time around i was much mroe active, and now i just cant be bothered.

Any thoughts on how i can pull myself up?

please dont quit because you feel bad and are having a bad week. you'll regret it!

Is there anyone close by you feel you can talk to? If not, keep talking to us on here cos trust me, we all understand how you're feeling.

from what you said, you've taken medication for depression before is that right? Maybe it's time to think about seeing your gp again?

I really struggle to tell thpose around me whats going on. Mostly because my nearest and dearest are so so so far away. Either that or the male pride thing.
I have taken Fluoxetine before but stopped it when i heard the air force want you to be medication free for 4 years before they'll accept my application, so i've struggled on for 2 years (almost) with all this. I could see my gp, but its expensive, and i don't want to be referred for "counselling"

Policies change. Can you verify the current regulations?

Yes. In black and white in front of me i have my rejected appeal letter stating that I have to be medication free for 4 years before i can re-apply to the armed forces in the UK.

Think back to when you were happiest in life, and try to see if there's anything you used to do that you dont anymore. You might not think of it the same way, but maybe you should try it out and see if you can remember why it was so great.

I bought all my old video games I played when I was a kid, went biking listening to the music I used to listen to back then, hit up old friends and relatives I hadn't seen in a long time.

GO PLACES where you know you've been really happy. Maybe the spot where you had your first kiss.

and here's a big thing, don't sleep through your mornings. It's the best part of the day, so get to sleep early for it.

I wish I could take my own advice on that one. work is a ***** whether you're depressed or not, buddy. Our society has forgotten that life is about living, not about slavery. Sorry. Maybe you might consider going into business for yourself.
