Depression

Doctor /patient confidentiality sorry,

Still around guys ... just been stalking .. haven't felt like getting involved. The Housemate's Nissan I 'blew up' is not getting better, but there is not much I can do about that. My son (the only person in the world I have) has let me know he will be moving to Pt Headland in the near future (a very long way away from me).. cant do anything about that either considering I gave my mum 5 weeks notice I was moving from Adelaide to Melbourne at the age of 21 many years ago .. and I haven't been back much due to circumstances :( And another suicide in my little hometown ... this one decided not to shoot himself in a very popular camping area, but overdosed in his room at the local pub ... breaks my heart :(

Hey Loop, your all good mate, yes the time when my kids move on is a long time away and I am already missing them! They are 2 & 8 and I keep wanting them to slow down! Can't believe how time flies.

FL if your young fella can land on his feet in PH then he will make you proud and you should be proud of yourself for that. You helped him become the man he is becoming.

Thanks for your support guys and hang in there as well, don't be afraid to seek help if you have not already done so, it is not a sign of weakness to seek help.

Hey Wayne, hang in there bud. Have you had your Meds checked mate? They have come along way in 10 years and you may well benefit from altering the Med you are on. I know this can mess with your head too mate but there is some potential for big change bud.

Hope you travel well mate.

Hey Mudrunner ... I am very proud of my son and as a single mother I did well. He is only 26, but has already made a life for himself and earns a fortune driving freight trains. Also has his Metro Suburban ticket. But he wants to move on and about and at the moment just under $100,000 per year is not enough when he knows there is a lot more $$ out there. He is doing what he loves. Yes, gonna miss him heaps, that's a given.

I just became a "connector" through mates in construction (mic) http://www.matesinconstruction.com.au
The suicide rate amongst construction workers in unacceptably high (mostly men)
Any of you blokes or shiehlas out there you or your families need a hand get onto this mob ay. Not just suicide related but any issues

Feel for you fruity, not good when someone we know commits suicide, it's an issue that's close to my heart as my daughter did this 20 yrs ago at 18 yrs of age, makes me sad to know what others go through when someone close does this. On a lighter note your son will be fine in headland and when he settles in and you head over to see him let me know and we can organise a 4wd run somewhere.

GeeZe 26, shoulda kicked him out years ago.. :D
I know what your going threw as my mum was the same. I didn't quite do Australia wide, but yorkes to my gambier. 700+ k drive, and when I was 17..
She went threw a rough patch, but keep the phone calls up.. And Skype these days, always in touch.

I didn't realise you were in Melbourne. Always thought you were overseas. Dunno who I come up with that..

Anyway, your more than welcome for a beer if you end up in Adelaide over Christmas.

I have one left at home and don't want her to go, but she drives me crazy:)

have had a crap week, last night shift i blew my stack and was ready to snot someone. back been on outers since with constant picnhing, hobbling etc and worse off today with lack of sleep. doing my head in
