Well maybe it's not all that healthy if you're traipsing around Glasgow. ;)

Apart from that you've sold the job pretty well though - I can definitely see the appeal, especially this time of year.

Alright Brimz!! Having a pish day & a para sketch that I've definitely lost my job this time. Fuck it though, off on holiday in 2 weeks regardless so I've decided to forget my troubles until then, plus I've got plenty weed so it can't all be bad lol. I'll worry about the shite when I get home :)

Sapnin' with you?

Posty job does sound ideal in the summer, strolling about getting a smoke. In a nice area it would be great. Both my mates got put in the same area when they started though, the place where over 400 green traffic lights have been smashed (just for being green), shops like Subway etc have had to change their shop signs from green to black, there's areas where union jack & red hand flags fly proudly all year long & the kerbs are painted red & blue. Not such a nice place to be strolling about in despite the weather lol.

Edit - Lol @ the baby smoking pic. I'd better take that one of my mates niece down, prolly not wise to have it posted publicly. The one he posted on FB earlier was getting comments from the kid's mum & other birds he knows going wild at him at first, now it's getting folk saying things like "Smoke on hen", "Twos!!" & "It'll be doobies soon" hahaha.

Your GP does sound a bit shit although it could just be your occupational health caaant recommending something pretty blindly. Or you may be overstating your problem to them to make work go easier on you, I'd certainly be doing that, I'm not making a judgement about you, maaaan. It is an intensive thing for the health service to commit to as it's one on one and at least six sessions. Would you say you're actually depressed or just fucked off with work?

Sorry man, missed this earlier.

I've clearly exaggerated when speaking to the work's occ. health folk. Needs to be done lol. I would say I am a bit depressed (more than a bit tbh) but that it comes mainly from the situation I'm in, of which work is a major factor.

I'm really conflicted on the whole CBT thing and how it's regarded by many as the current magic bullet for mental health problems.

Which is not to say that it isn't potentially very effective and useful for many - this thread is a prime example. Unfortunately the hype around it leads to heightened expectations from a lot of people, so when they're actually confronted with how damn simple most of it really is, some tend to lose faith and/or interest and it can actually become counterproductive. On a personal level I've known more people jack it in (at various stages of treatment) than I have successful cases. Then again, I know plenty of people who question widely-held beliefs about mental health, so my sample is probably not all that representative of the wider public.

I suppose a lot of the potential for success or failure depends on the patient's attitude to, and relationship with, the practitioner. As I'm inherently suspicious of many aspects of psychiatry and resistant to any kind of therapy involving intimate contact, obviously it wouldn't work for me. I can, however, confirm that basic NLP techniques (along with more esoteric stuff, but that's another story) have had a hugely positive impact on my life - and NLP tends to make Johnny Science wrinkle his spoddish, blackhead-encrusted nose, despite sharing many central principles of CBT. Funny that.

What I'm trying to say is that it works for some but nobody should see it as a miracle cure, lest they be left feeling sorely cheated. Then again, I'd always advise others to follow the advice of healthcare professionals before making the decision as to whether that's the road they want to travel.

I've just been signed off by mine, we have check in in 3 months and that's it, I've gone from daily thoughts of suicide and suicidal ideation in a hole with no hope, to really being back on the right path.

I don't think there is a silver bullet because depression is an umbrella term and we are all different anyway, my councellor didn't just go through the motions of CBT, in fact I think he sussed from the start that I understood the concept I just needed to be assisted and supported with how to make the changes required in my life so I could get back on track. Its not been the big things that have made the difference, its the small stuff that you do (or don't do) everyday, or at least that's what I found.

He didn't say so directly but was clearly not a supporter of ADs in general and specifically said he didn't support their use with out some kind of therapy along side. My aim is to be off them by the end of the year and he felt that was a sensible target. he was a really nice bloke and I felt very much guided to my own decisions rather than lead there by the nose. I'll be writing to him and the organisation that provided the whole treatment to thank them. Maybe I was lucky but it was a quality service from the start, even the telephone stuff.

It may not be for all but its helped me no end

Welcome to EADD! :)

Have to say you're pretty bold, posting in Gibberings on yer first day! Most people shy away from this thread till they've been here ages. I say they're all just a little yellow.

PTCH dont underestimate the effect your job is having on your mental health. call centre work is incredibly stressful, its the only job where your employers can track what you're up to every second of the day which in itself is very unnatural and stressful. Humans dont respond well to this.

With spring coming you'd be better of labouring on a building site for £50 a day while you sort your head out, smoke all the weed you want, great craic and you'll never have been in better physical shape. Taxi drivings another quick & easy way out. If your working hard & enjoying your job you'll be inclined to take less drugs which can only help.

I worked in a call centre for nearly 5 years and nearly had a breakdown, I was a mess, I left and never looked back.

Just wanted to quote this and say what good advice it is.

How fucked is your shoulder Parttime? Getting out a laboring, landscaping, delivering, etc, is the kind of work that clears the head rather than fuck it up like call center work does. You can always supplement your income, with the interwebs it's never been easier to make and sell shit. It's mind blowing the bollocks some people will buy, you just have to put it out there.

When i was employed by other people, the most satisfying work I ever did was landscape gardening.

Now I work for myself (for only a few hours a week) and I struggle not to feel like a total smug bastard. But the truth is anyone could do what I'm doing. Sometimes it's just down to luck, I really hope you get a bit soon fella.
 
Mr/s Grim..well perhaps your inability is your chink .. No chinks here whatsoever..

Shouldnt judge George.
 
Didn't realize call centre work is that bad, sounds absolutely fucking shite
