I've posted on here way too many times about my buushit mental health. I dont have many friends and I have tried to end it all a few times. I actually enjoy my life when I feel sane. So why do I try to destroy it? I speak to to a therapist weekly, and various groups weekly. None of these people are friends. My wife's health is suffering because of mine. I don't know a way out.
 
The both of you are wonderful guys who have your demons. I don’t know how to help but are always here for both of you.

Hang in there Sadgit, think of all the positives in your life and the good you have done for others. I admire you for what you have done for the people of Ukraine.

Keep it going mate.

All the best to both of you and here is hoping 2023 is a better year for you.

Hey Sadgit, hang in there mate.
I too find this time of year to be very difficult. Cant wait to get past Christmas and New Year, I only have a small family who do their own thing at christmas, but a few friends look out for me at this time of year, but it is very difficult to join in.

I have taken to blocking out christmas and focus my attention on what I will be doing when the weather improves.

I understand the feeling of destroying everything when you feel down. that is very much a state of mind, when your mind is blaming yourself for the negativity that you are feeling. You are fortunate to have a wife who supports you, have you tried talking to her about your feelings and deal with things together ? I managed to destroy both my marriage and career as I was married to the wrong person.

I hope you feel more positive next year.

My only advice is you need to keep on talking.

I’ve been having therapy since I tried to kill myself back in Summer and my therapist is a life saver.

You are right. They aren’t friends. But your therapist is a trained professional who is there to help you. Your support group is an outlet where you can talk, share experiences.

Take care mate.
 
From someone who has recently been right on the edge, heed Aet290204's words. It's great advice.

I myself have been there, about 19 years ago. When you're in that frame of mind it seems there is nothing anyone can say that will help. My only advice would be to equip yourself on your good days with the tools that you can rely on during your bad days.
It sounds like you are doing that already. You're still here mate so carry on with that.
Im happy for you to PM me if you ever feel like you need another outlet.
 
I too suffer from MH problems. Coming on here and joining in the chat helps me a lot. It's good that you have come on here too and mentioned how you feel. I like to have a whinge, moan, laugh and try to make a contribution to posts that interest me. It's nice to know that posts are read and often replied to or commented on. Say what you like (within reason)- no one will judge. We are a community on here and everybody is welcome. It's no different to going to the local.
Come on here and tell us about your MH. We ARE interested and we DO care.
As for affecting your wife......I have a funny story to tell
One day I was feeling very low. I was sat sat the table in a dining chair. Mrs T, recognising how I was feeling came to me and gave me a big hug, pulling me into her chest. Suddenly I started to receive Radio 2 in my hearing aids from the wire in her bra! I started to laugh and Mrs T asked what I was laughing at. I told her and she laughed too. The trouble started when I tried to tune it in!
I am glad she didn't have the coil fitted!!
Take care Sadgit- If you live inTeesside I am quite happy to meet up for a pint/coffee or whatever and have a bit of crack with you.
Happy New Year to you and Mrs SG.
 
I honesty don't feel qualified or know what to say to you lads. Other than I hope things improve in time. I suffer with 'low mood', or at least that what it says on the side of the box.

My favourite tune in a heck of a long time.
