Just a big thank you to all who replied to this thread last night, harsh and re assuring replies. You all got me through a very very bad night, it was good having someone to talk too. I hate to say this but I was googling some terrible sites, more interested than determined (I hope!)
What a wonderful community you are, short steps on a very long road!
THANK YOU:bravo:
And a very big well done to you pal. You've taken some serious steps in the right direction in the last 24 hours. I too, have known those very gloomy times and mad thoughts, so I really do know where you're coming from.
Good on your brother and his OH; you're a lucky man to have them - remember that.
Keep on top of it and, above all, take good care of yourself.
I wish you the very best.

glad you're in a better place bb; shame the foxes couldn't help even more, unless you're also a fan of welsh rugby...
Ha, that was bloody a pathetic performance, I go to every home match but feel to old to go to away matches now, thank god!!

Remind yourself that you need to pay more attention to your own advice. You didn't seem to be living by it in 2012. You received lots of advice from forum members and even I found some compassion to offer you some even though you were just as unpleasant then as you are now.

Perhaps you could be a bit more helpful and offer guidance based on how you resolved your own personal issues outlined below. Those who offered you some advice might also like to know the outcome.

Are you stalking me or are you one to hold a grudge? I am not unpleasant to you because I ignore you, unless you are deliberately abrasive or provocative toward me.

The issues you drag up from the distant past were resolved by me along the lines of my own advice up thread. But thanks for your concern.

You can see how easy it is to move forward. The more you tell the more support you will get.

Now find something to do in the evening. Join a gym go to Dance classes but find something to do. Dont prove anything to your wife but prove to yourself that you can get your life back.

Whatever happens dont turn to drink. You want to improve your life, not make it worse.

It's crap at the time but gets better

I had the child to worry about, rapid weight loss, despair and money troubles you describe

But.........

My ex wife was a distant memory after a couple of years apart

I have a fantastic partner now who Is so much better for me, work is great, I am ok money wise, a love of cycling and I have a great life (oh and 3 bikes!!)

Very bad night again, woke up blubbing. Doc appointment made for 10 but feel desperate
Remember the emotional roller coaster well. It'll be like this for som time, there's no easy fix but I promise you, it will get better.
At least you've got an appointment for your GP, just having someone to listen can be helpful.
What other plans do you have?
