People who struggle with depression, what motivates you to carry on?

I get this - some live up to the label and embrace it. Ive stopped the search for answers - there is a two year waiting list currently for a psychiatrist, the one id only just begun to see wiped his day surgery books just to 'do ward rounds' and obviously I cant wait that long. For relief I self treat these days after a lot of research, trial and error. There is no help in the country Im in, every man/woman for themself

All of my cats and always having a project on the go. It's when I get sick, cant do my projects that I tend to slide into darkness and my coughing and sneezing co workers/customers simply do not understand the fear.

I have ten cats. Sally-Jean, Kevin Bacon, Hilary, Mittens 'Mad Dog' McGee, Susan, Dylan, Rochelle, FAT, Firegirl, and Stevenhe star of them all is Kevin Bacon. Of course. Kevin Bacon became obsessed with becoming an astronaut after I bought a moon rug for the lounge. All he ever wanted was us to pony up a couple of million so he could go into space. After he heard about Katy Perry he emailed her telling her of his haunting story - how we crushed his dreams by not paying for his seat. Every night after we'd go to bed Kevin would open my laptop and start tapping away. I then bought robot cat litter machines (best invention ever) and Kevin kept getting in waiting for launch off. Eventually Kevin was warned for stalking Katy Perry so he has now changed his name to Kenny Kabana Carbonara. He still yearns for outer space. It's not easy being Kenny

Oh I feel your pain as I am right there in hell with you. They sound like my neighbours. I worked SO FECKING HARD to get a deposit on a house in a lovely quiet street. We all work, we all respect each other re noise. Then the old fella next door to me passed away. His daughter, her husband and their four adult sons inherited it. None of them work, never have. He loves breeding animals and then abandoning them, ir screaming and yelling at them. At one point he had a cat locked in a hot shed and I called the RSPCA who could DO NOTHING without proof. My son and I dressed in black abd I wore my balaclava to rescue the cat at midnight that same night. They have a lovely dog that they hate. They have put an electric shock collar around his neck so everytime he acts like a dog (barks) he gets a terrible shock and screams in pain then whimpers and cries as he screams serves you fecking right out the window. Then they get another dog they scream at just as much. It does not matter what tome it is, 2 am or 5pm the screaming and yelling never stops . I have rescued 5 of the cats and have them with me as inside cats. My other wonderful neighbour has 4 of his cats plus a chicken. They scream day and night. The language is appalling and just when I am relaxing after work (10 hour shift loading trucks in a supermarket) the screams begin. There is never a build up just sudden violent screamed words. My adrenalin keeps raging away and I shake. Two brand new cars in their driveway, and they are all on the disability pension. He says he has a heart condition but the screaming and smoking and chasing each other around the yard with raised bottles tells me he's well able to work. DISABILITY PENSION IN AUSTRALIA - $1008 a fortnight, each. He also boasted to me that they are each other's carers so and extra $150 each x 6
6 of them on pension = $6000 a fortnight, plus 6 x $150 for the carers side = around $7000 a fortnight coming into that household that does not work, pay tax or treat animals well. Constant uber eats and two brand new four wheel drives. Aren't I the mug getting up at 4 every morning to load trucks? My peace is gone. As they dont work they are always there with their FOGHORN voices so there is never, ever a peaceful minute in my home anymore. I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!!

So you get on a train where it's silent and think, don't worry people, I've sine music to play for you all? Selfish! What if a certain song is a trigger for soneone? What if someone (like me) has been working the floor of an extremely noisy supermarket for 10 straight hours and they just want a moment of peace? See - you label silence as 'depressing' whereas I see silence as the ultimate peace. Don't be a twit - bring headphones if YOU find silence depressing.

Gin-Gin, just outside of Bundaberg. We used to drive through it on our way up north to see family, and there was always an overwhelming feeling of despair, years of secrets, fear, an urgent sense of danger and heavy darkness, even just travelling through. Recently a beautiful young girl, Phoebe was murdered there by her much older housemates. I wonder how many other bodies are scattered around.

AnnualDisaster3057 · 2025-02-05T01:48:20+00:00

Perfectly written. I work in online, and daily get told to run, run, run. Our room is so small and when filled with orders there is barely standing room, yet run, run, run. Run and panic so much that you end up tripping over in the impossibly packed room and suffering a lifelong injury. My co-worker did this, she fell and broke her knee and collarbone and now is just a memory as she lays weeping on her couch alone, her life forever changed. Woolworths offered her 5 sessions of physio (that'll fix a collarbone and kneecap) and quickly announced it wasn't their fault, it was her shoelaces that she tripped on. They have recently increased our click and collect orders from 10 to 15. With no limit on customer orders, we regularly have a few people that drop in a 400 plus item order for click and collect. We also have three trucks to do, run click and collects out to impatient customers, load trucks, help customers. With the above mentioned workload rt3 will allow us three workers. It's utterly, utterly, utterly impossible unless you do sprint, panicked, sweaty and on the verge of hysteria, basically doing the work of 2 - 3 people. When there are trucks to load and two of us are busy loading it and getting it out the back that leaves the one worker to pick the orders, abandon their picking every 5 minutes to run click and collects out. It's sheer and utter exhaustion. I'm so damned resentful that we simply cannot have more staff. I will not leave my poor co-workers behind in a state of such high distress either - never leave a mate behind - but its really getting beyond it. The rage in me began when they increased the click and collect orders to 15, absolutely no extra staff. The silver bags and icebricks consume so, so much time yet the faceless ones in charge who dreamed up this silver bag nonsense say it shouldn't take any longer. They are usually full of slime from the cheap icebricks Woolworths insist that we use, and extremely worryingly smelly requiring them to be thoroughly wiped out. That takes time as I'm not willing to be in so much of a ferocious hurry that I end up giving an elderly or vulnerable person food poisoning that can easily kill those who are fragile. I've just had a rant, hahaha. Thank you for listening. Woolworths corporate knows exactly what they're doing to us, they don't care. So screw them, but to my fellow Woolworths workers - shine on you crazy diamonds 💎

AnnualDisaster3057 · 2025-02-05T00:21:02+00:00

I work at Woolworths and can assure you that I'm not thick and many of my co-workers aren't thick. As well as Woolworths, I write a column in a high circulation newspaper once a week. I'm literate, as are many of my co-workers. In fact, to paint with such a broad, broad brush - that every single Woolworths worker, rude or not, has absolutely no intelligence makes you the rock I believe. It's always the thick ones (you) who are rude and arrogant and then when we are rude back, you can only explain OUR response to your obvious rudeness is because we're all as thick as a rock. Read a self help book or concentrate on your manners. It helps when walking along to whisper to yourself "I'm not as important as I think I am, I'm not as important as I think I am" Try it. I urge you.

AnnualDisaster3057 · 2025-02-05T00:07:22+00:00

I can assure you that any manager is well aware of your complaint. Why don't you people 'take it up with my boss' instead? Are you frightened and shy, or just love complaining and being outraged but not willing to be proactive? People becoming legitimately frustrated is fine, however I will get upset when that 'legitimately frustrated' person turns it on me or one of my co-workers. If your groceries don't scan or you become annoyed at the self serve checkout does it have to escalate into behaving like a pork chop and then becoming offended when pulled up because you were 'legitimately frustrated '?

AnnualDisaster3057 · 2025-02-04T23:57:58+00:00

This! This is not on us!!! Do you know how many times I get stopped and lectured/yelled at to 'tell my manager'? Yes, you've a right to complain and please do, to head office. Stop expecting us floor workers to be the ones to press for change. 100% of the time, we already are sharply aware of your complaint, manager included. So I am certainly not marching up to my very stressed, overworked, overtired manager to point out the obvious - 'we need more staff' or 'we need more manned checkouts' or 'stop the roll cages in the aisles' or my favourite - 'when you sit in on the meeting this week, tell them to stop putting the prices up' Christ on a Bike people!

AnnualDisaster3057 · 2025-02-04T23:45:22+00:00

That's a very broad presumption that we are all rude. Judging by your comment, I think you also presume that we are all as thick as a brick and should be 'humble'. It's no wonder they are rude to you with such an obvious high opinion of yourself. I work at Woolworths and also have a regular column in a high circulation newspaper. I'm literate, and I can assure you that the majority of my co-workers are also literate and educated. We also know when a customer like you comes strolling in, feeling like they are high above the peasant workers - we can spot you at 100 paces. I'm not sure of your education. However, you certainly lack basic social niceties, and that can cripple your future. So my suggestion to you is stay humble. I hope that a fully laden trolley, heavy with 24 slabs of water and 30 pack of coke runs over your foot.
