To those of you feeling as though you should be able to "pull yourself together" understand that this Monster is an illness the same as AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, Flu, Broken Limbs etc, it is NOT something we can just snap out of, it is not a Life Choice like taking so called Recreational Drugs, it very real and also has many Faces, tiredness, fatigue, shakes, fear, worry, panic, sweating, pains and the list goes on, it will lessen for a while and then come back and bite you on the bum, it will lull you into a false sense of security and return with a vengance, but still it can be overcome, we all have different ways of coping and via this site many people try to pass on help to others, sometimes this help is of more use than many other things are, the most difficult part may be understanding it because most of it makes no sense at all.
I have had this Monster visit me quite a few times in my Life, I truly believe we are set up for it to call by what happens when we are younger, even if some of it can't be remembered too well, I have had many traumas during my younger days and I have always been a bit "softer" than most men around me, more sensitive sometimes and I feel this is something this Monster feeds on, sensitivity. I don't for on minute think because anyone is more sensitive that they are weaker, that is foolish, though some people would have us believe that to be the case, I know that this Monster is beatable, I also know it will get me down sometimes more than others but I am going to rid my self of it and be "well" again one day I am sure, no doubt it will visit again and I will not be ready for it but I will persist until the day I die because I am unique and so are you, Chin up when you can, Forward too, when you can and on to better things for all of us soon, best anxiety free wishes to all.
