Mate. Do not, ever, be embarrassed about yelling for help. We all need it sometimes, and some of us have been there too.
Even if you just want to talk, or blow off some steam, we got you.

Embarrassed?! No need.
I struggle - my health this last 12 months has contributed to that - but my missus is an absolute rock.
If you need to talk there are folks on here ( none of whom I know personally ) who will always step up to the mark.

No need to be embarrassed mate. First step is the hardest but also the first step towards stopping the spiral. It’s fine to not be in control all the time either; happens to the best of us.

No need to feel embarrassed at all mate, we all have struggles. It's great that you took the step of reaching out. Good to hear that you're improving. Be nice to yourself, you deserve it

As it's something that I've struggled with for years without knowing I thought I'd pop this on here, might be helpful for some people

World Mental Health Day 2024
World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on 10 October. This year’s theme set by the World Federation of Mental Health is, “it’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace”.
Going to post again, Ladies and Gents (and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri) if you’re struggling, and just need to vent, or talk, or a shoulder to cry on, please, please, feel free to open up and post here.
Were a good bunch of listeners, and sometimes, talking about something can simply be that - a weight off your mind - and it may be that just talking about something helps you, even a little bit?
Or we can just talk about squirrels, trampolining or the Chinese (a great bunch of lads).
Just talk. We don’t judge!

And to reiterate on what Strumms has said there is a safe, non-judgemental environment here as well doing good things every week

Yes, don't be shy, we're all odd in our way. My girls think I'm nuts, but I'm quite happy being that way.

Do it anyway, chances are someone on here has experienced something similar at some point, you will find that people judge a lot less than you fear, and those that do judge weren't worth knowing anyway.

Post it. Even if noone can offer anything, and I bet they can, the act itself may be cathartic.
I was once 'stuck' on an event - I was eventually able to move on with a combination of help and awareness of the contributing factors, but I wouldn't wish anyone to do what I did realise they had been stuck on something for longer than they had been alive when the event itself happened. (And also, PTSD is a thing - a horrible one at that - and if it links to that there are some on here with experience.)

Do it mate. As GP said, worst case scenario it could be cathartic just putting it out into the ether. You'll be surprised at the amount of people that might have the same experience whether currently or in the past. People can choose whether to engage with it or not so I certainly wouldn't view it as burdened anyone.
We all have our disagreements on here but my overwhelming experience of viewing on here is that when someone is having difficulty people rally around.

There’s another thread on here that might help
Please post it and get it off your chest. You need peace from it.

I wrote last year about my old struggles with depression. My situation was different in that, thankfully, I’m in a good place, as they say, and I have been for many years.
Nevertheless, I related stuff that I never freely talk about with even those closest to me and it was indeed something of a catharsis. The reaction of fellow forum members was deeply gratifying and I won’t forget it.
I wouldn’t urge you unload whatever is on your mind on this forum but be assured that I and others will do what we can to help.

So here's the thing, I can cope with being responsible for myself I live on my own and can cope fine with everything. and can take accountability (my current boss does an employee review and gave me full marks for accountability and responsibility) . I have made mistakes mainly when I was younger like practicaly most people and learnt from them (don't have a criminal record or anything on that level but I ain't perfect)
Somthing happend what 5-6 years ago now and it just makes me feel angry too the point were a couple of times a week I'm literally shaking in anger and it's been noticed by 4 strangers so far this year who have asked me if I'm allright, I have just told them it's OK I'll sort it out myself.
The stupid thing is I understand that no1 and nothing is ever perfect and there is a lot worse out there, and that we can all be prone to hypocrisy and yet I still can't shake it 5 years on its so silly.

IT IS NOT SILLY.
Please, don’t think that something that preys on your mind is silly.
It isn’t. It really isn’t.
It is absolutely understandable and acceptable that you have things that have happened in your life that still affect you to this day.
I have personally experienced similar, in my case it’s stuff that happened over thirty years ago, and even now, sometimes the nightmares come and I wake up shaking. That is how it works.
It’s not silly, it’s not embarrassing, it’s not something that makes you abnormal, or weird, or anything else.
Please, please, if you want to get it off your chest, please do. We‘re here for you, and although many of us are a bit crap ourselves, we’re a decent bunch of listeners.
And sometimes, that’s a good thing.

If it's something that's still getting to you to the point of physical response five/six years after my advice, for what it's worth, would be to do some talk therapy around it - talk to a doctor about which type might be most useful (Id say counselling, buy im not a medical expert).
Noone really wants to, and the concept itself feels 'silly' but I expect it would help. Some things are best sorted out together - and that time span suggests this might be one of them.
(And that's coming from someone who tried to sort out an issue myself for over two decades - don't wait as long as I did please! Also, while I hated therapy, there was one good thing to come from it... It did allow me to finally move on. Maybe two if your counting by proxy things!)
