For the first time in my life I'm feeling low as low. My Mam's marriage to my step dad has ended (not going into details, that's not for here). I've spent Christmas with her as its the first time she's lived alone since I was born but I'm not there for New Year (although going back tomorrow). I just feel so guilty about leaving her on her own and like I'm a crap son. I'm wracked with worry about her as well. Knowing she's going through a period of unhappiness is killing me.

She will be stronger than you think mate, give her a ring when you get up tomorrow and she will be ok.

Cheers mate. Just a horrible time to do things, none of our faults, hasnt worked out and we wish each other best in future. But its new years eve and im trawling through my facebook deleting all of her pictures, keep remembering little weekends away etc. This time last year we were in Edinburgh for Hogmanay and so loved up, ah well, thats life.

Hope you have a good new year mate x

Mate nowt to beat yourself up over. Clearly you're a top chap and I'm sure she knows.


Roll with the punches as they say. f***ing hard though. Best wishes for next year. If it makes you feel better I won't be matching you by gymming at 10am. Going for my can record tonight

Enjoy :lol:
 
There have been times this year when I felt like I was circling the drain, I've written on this thread before about it.

I went to the doctors and all they really wanted to do was sign me off on the sick and get me on tablets, I didn't think that was the answer, so I haven't taken pills and I haven't been off work.

Some days are a real grind, no question, some days I hate looking at myself/dealing with the day to day stuff. Some days it's better and I can manage.

The bad days are becoming fewer and fewer which I'm very grateful for, in some ways I think appreciating the good days has actually helped my overall mindset going forward.

I sincerely hope everyone on this thread who is struggling finds what they need, you're a bloody decent bunch and deserve it.

All the best!

it sounds as though you're anything but mate. i'd bet she's canny proud of you.
 
Ive woke up and totally cant be arsed with life today, just thinking of how good life was last year makes me sick. But I am off to gym in a moment and will kickstart my year.

Happy new lads and hope people can talk when they are depressed.
 
I'm missing the match again today, I'm worn out fighting this bastard. Everything I do is like wading through treacle. I can usually put on a good 'front' and pretend everything's ok but during this episode I just can't.

The docs are changing my meds so please keep your fingers crossed that I might turn a corner with this one.

Missing the match might be a blessing. Good luck.

Hope the meds work. I'm really quiet with work now if you fancy a cuppa during the week.
