Mentalists R Us
Anyone that suffers from depression knows that it’s shit.
I don’t know why I get depressed, when I have no reason to do so. I have a beautiful caring wife, four great children and a job that I enjoy (most of the time). I have a lovely home, and, family and a few friends that love me. But, I still get depressed.
I have an excellent diet, I sleep well, and I get a good amount of fresh air. I have a good laugh at Twitter. I love a good comedy on the television. I still get depressed.
I appear happy most of the time. Covering up depression is a gift that we Mentalists possess.
I’m sure I am not a ‘bad’ case. I gave up taking fluoxetine towards the end of 2006 after 12 months. I asked the Doctor how I would know it was ok to come off, he replied I should just “try it and see”. I did, and I felt ok, but I do worry about one of the side effects being ‘suicidal tendencies’! Great.
I haven’t been myself for two and a half weeks now, I sink, and then just when I’m climbing out of the hole, I seem to get dragged back down again. I have no reason to do so. It just happens. Let me reiterate, I want for nothing in my life – even my negative Bank balance doesn’t overly concern me!
I got up this morning feeling as I did yesterday, lonely. I’m not, but it’s how I feel. I don’t know why, I just do. I purposely picked a cd to play in the car on the way to work, which I thought may pick me up. I played it at the highest volume my ears could withstand, even though I always criticise ‘boy racers’ for doing the same. I found myself shouting instead of singing, and, it seemed to offload a little bit of my pain.
Pain is what it is. I feel as though I’m a failure to my friends and family, though when I think about it, I know I haven’t done anything. Is it selfishness? Writing this blog helps a little. I feel like screaming, and, I may lose my temper at work today. If I remain quiet, I will get through to hometime which is when I start to feel better. I love my family dearly, but, worry what they may think about my behavior – my wife is very understanding, and, can be an irreplaceable comfort. Sometimes I feel like crying.
It’s a shitter this depression stuff. For me, and, for anyone else that suffers. I try to get on with life, but, sometimes, some days, are difficult. The last ones have been some of those.

Cheggers
My first 'blog'.
I'd like to do more of this, but, I just don't seem to have the time. Or, more importantly, anything worth writing about.
This debut blog might seem like a waste of space, but I'm pissed off reading about it and want to get it off my chest.
I like Twitter, I've met some cracking people and had a fucking good laugh at times. I've found some Celebrities that use it as self-promotion, and, the odd few who actually reply to numpteys like me.
Some stuff really gets on my tits though, like the recent 'Keith Chegwin steals jokes' crap. Ed Byrne is a tosser. To say Cheggers stole a joke is bollocks - how do you steal a joke? What Mr Byrne meant to say is that Keith told a joke he'd heard before. He then wants Keith to acknowledge who told it. Arse! Does Wayne Rooney acknowledge Maradonna if he scores a goal with an overhead kick? Course he fucking doesn't. Do Reeves and Mortimer thank Morecambe and Wise after every TV performance. Course they don't. Does Lee Evans have a rider in his tour programmes saying thanks to Norman Wisdom?
I rest my case.
