Depression thread continued...


@lucky I don't know. I know it's a long and drawn out process and it took weeks to set up. I've never been for anything external at this level and pay so I'm not sure what to expect.
 
Just browsed onto this thread.
Here for anyone and only have to pm. If I was NE based would have no problem meeting anyone in person.

Something that everyone should be aware of and advice that has stuck with me.

We all have a worry box, everyone of us. All about how that is managed.
No matter what the circumstances, worries move from one situation to another.
Please never suffer or tackle these alone. Genuinely there is a solution to everything.
Never feel isolated or inadequate because of worries. Everyone has them and some cope better. There is no league table.

Getting older is not easier, it’s harder as we take on more responsibilities.

Genuinely some wonderful people that post on this forum and on this thread some posters that I have interacted with over the years.
Here for anyone.
 
Well yesterday I left the wife told her irs over and I don’t love her anymore (I do) however my mental health is hurting everyone so I need to push them away.

I need to be alone and alone for ever this isn’t me feeling sorry for myself this is me thinking what’s best for others

Feels numb and cold but it’s life.

Gosh. Are you sure you are doing the right thing. Reach out and tell her what you have just told us. I am sure the pair of you can work through this together.

Please try again.

As @CPLforever says be honest with her and let her read which way you been feeling mate and I bet she will be just as hurt as you. You need the people who love you around you mate at this moment in time ❤️.

I imagine you're going through the natural stages of ending a relationship, when you've let the dust settle you'll think differently. It won't be a case of you hurting people it's only because you're feeling a bit down. Life will go on, dust yourself down over the next few days, think positively & objectively for and about yourself and it won't seem so bad 👍

I know the exact feeling you are going through as I did the same myself (though there were also other lesser reasons). I don't know the ins and outs, but I will say one thing - if you really do love her and think there is any chance you will make a go of it later, tell her you love her as early as possible, even if you still need the space. I waited 4-5 weeks and by that point she didn't believe the part about me still loving her when I told her the truth. It did work out for the best, but it was more crushing than anything at the time.
 
Sorry can’t quote everyone am shit on here. Have spoken to her told how I feel and the truth.

She thought I had another woman due to how I was something I’d never do explained why I’m distant.

I’m moving back in going in the spare room for now for my space and she’s going to support me anyway possible.

Kind words wnd advise on here

Just keep opening up and being honest with her and it will go a million miles

First line: "Another woman" is something you'll need to work hard at to get beyond, it's possible mind seeing as she's mentioned her concern. It's something you'll both have to dit down and talk about (without anyone else's input). Bear in mind there are two people in every relationship.

Overall It's a positive stepping stone. Work on it sensibly 👍

Defs got a keeper there mate. Well done on telling her what’s going on. Big step forward!
 
Is it embarrassing that I feel lonely only times I go out is when I'm with family who are brilliant
Anything but, as lucky says above.

Some people only choose to go out with specific groups/persons. I've known loads of people that. Over time you'll gradually extend your boundaries, but build your confidence like that first.

That's the way to move forward with it.

Obviously entirely your choice, but have you considered going to a therapy session and taking your wife with you? I don’t mean for a couples session but for her to hear how you’re feeling.

Not for everyone so I won’t take offence if you tell me it’s a shit idea 🤣
