Any anxiety/depression sufferers here?

I'm sorry for what you've been going through. I hope ur mom gets better. But the Boston Bruins shit caught me so off guard

They’re dead to me, even the NHL itself is dead to me. I rather watch PWHL for all I care.

I’ve started suffering from depression late February-early March, my mom started suffering from shingles and when I tried to call her over phone, my dad just takes over the call and every time my dad answers, I started getting all emotional and when I heard my mom’s voice on the phone, that’s what I needed, until the next Friday, my depression came back, but the anger and stress crashed down on me, Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney did a very unforgivable action that forced me to quit the NHL and the Bruins forever, he traded captain Brad Marchand away to fking Florida Panthers, because of that started becoming in emotional wreck. My mom was hospitalized shortly after, I was forced to go to my family’s, to help my dad watch the house and the dog Daisy, while he watches my mom most of the when she’s hospitalized and he had to miss work days. Every time my dad said things got worse, he worsens my depression, he even noticed and he had the gull saying I needed a doctor and I was like “I don’t need a fricking doctor! I need my mom!” like what does think I am? Possibly suicidal? Unlikely. I was in a depressive state, but that doesn’t mean taking path to suicide. Then my dad said we’re going to visit my mom, then my dad and brother left me with for an errand run. I was crying because all I wanted was to see my mom and that’s what I needed and my depression…just washed away.

Currently my mom’s shingles were already gone, but she also had cancer, she recently got her 2nd chemo treatment and she’s still kicking’ in her early 70’s.

Sounds like you are going through an awful time, very sorry to hear what you are going through with your mum. I hope you can find ways to cope with your depression during this difficult time.

I do find it depressing being a MJ fan at times. There are still very few things referenced about him by mainstream media that don't mention the child abuse nonsense even when this has no relevance to what is being discussed/written about. It's like they have all made a pact to brainwash the public to make his name synonymous with child sexual abuse, therefore they refuse to mention one without the other.

And yet despite all this MJ continues to be a success, the success of all the shows demonstrates that he is still beloved. But the narrative around him feels so controlled in the media that you never get a glimpse of how loved he still is. It's like being gaslit. This discrepancy infuriates me at times, and leaves me feeling hopeless at other times.

I want MJ to be recognised for the right reasons outside of the fan community, and I just really don't see that happening within my lifetime. The biopic will be a good test to gauge the perception of him outside the fan community aswell as outside the media.

As sad as it can feel at times, his music is perfect for drowning out all that noise.

As I just said, seeing my mom in the hospital washed my depression away. She stayed in the hospital for 5 weeks and returned home after that. But now I may go back to depressive state which I’m blaming Corus right now.

Don't remember if I posted in here ...

Therapy that helped me the most and was actually a game changer: working with the body to soothe the nervous system. In German you say KÖRPERTHERAPIE ( lit. "body therapy") as a general term.

I can recommend the following books (and therapists who focus on methods that are written about in those books):

Bessel van der Kolk: THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE

Jessica Mann and Karden Rabin: THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF THE BODY
