Depression thread continued...

[Chubbs]

Having met you briefly, I can’t see how you would deserve that kind of treatment. As said above, it’s someone else hurt, low self esteem and vile behaviour being projected onto you.

I’d step away and only have contact to sort the kids and if that means communicating via someone else, so be it. There’s no way back from the disgusting things she’s said to you.

Cheers mate. Its a level of nasty i never expected. My kids still love seeing me though so thats all that really counts

You may not think it now mate but whenever you’re in a really bad spell, just force yourself to remember that longer term, you are and will be better off without being with somebody who is capable of saying those sorts of things.

Ive got some good people in my corner. Thank you mate

Hi Chubbs, For some reason I was reflecting on this today. That needs reporting and shared with family and friends… totally vile and unacceptable. I am guessing she wasn’t the most pleasant of individuals even before the split? Stay safe and keep your head up.

Appreciate. I knew she had nasty in her but this has been more than I ever expected. I dont know many people who have been through divorces so I guess thats how it is. Im ok and feel better for talking on here. Sometimes it really is people who you dont know and who aren't emotionally involved that you need to share with the most. Thank you all

Stick in there mate and keep your chin up. I can tell from your posts on here you’re an absolutely top lad and I’m sure a great dad to your daughter. I haven’t forgotten by the way that I offered forwarding you my season ticket for a match if I’m going to miss one if I’m away etc. That offer still stands, if you don’t manage to get a season ticket sorted again this summer and I end up missing any next season I will happily forward on to you. Take care mate.

Thanks very much mate, really appreciate that. You’re a good ‘un.

This This is all that matters mate - my divorce isn’t anywhere near your level but my kids are my world and trying to rise above and be the best dad you can means so much
As others have said, and I’ve not posted a lot on here, but this is a great place to get your feelings out

I’m Teesside based but as others have said would be more than happy to meet up for a chat/beer/coffee/walk

Personally iv always had highs and lows drink dabbled with the dark side . Last few years I havent touched a drug since i met my fiance . still break out on the drink every now and then . Had some bad moments . Last few weeks , well a temper I had as a young man has started to come back thats sadend me , many through racial experiences against my partner which is a sad indictment of culture in ireland at the moment . Sad individuals but its got to me and its affecting me . And my father who was put on medication lost all his drive anti depressants for a different condition . Has since lost all motivation. This man was my rock he was a simple hardworking carpenter with a agriculture background and never stopped and after the work doctor cleared him to go back to work he just handed in his papers . Now he has no motivation hes a fit man wont come farming hardly leaves the house and looks miserable . Its heart breaking . The Man started with nothing extended the farm had several rental houses and has put a lot up for sale since he retired a few weeks ago and seems to have given up on everything . The mind is the most powerful thing someone has and its ripping me apart to see my hero like this
I apologise for venting but iv tears rolling down my face right now in a bar

There is absolutely nothing to apologise for and no shame in crying. It's just one of numerous ways the body eradicated stress. If you dont mind me asking what was the reason your dad was given the anti depressant medication? So do you think with him losing his motivation that this could be a side effect from the medication and if so are the side efffects perhaps worse than the condition he was prescribed them for in the first place? I would perhaps do some research into his health and any medications he might be on and then perhaps seek advice and get another opinion from another Doctor.

Sometimes it just feels like a pile on doesn't it? And it's not venting it's getting it out. Trying to make sense of your jumble of thought swirling about in your head can help.

Like King Durin said, anti depressants can. Especially when first taken cause de-motivation, how long has he been on them? Maybe needs a bit more time until the benefits show.

You make sure you look after yersel....and if needs be come back on and rant away.
