I know from reading on here there are others that are doing it much harder than myself and with some serious issues they must deal with and this puts things in perspective.

Its not so much the "Suck it up princess " thing but more that although this year has been one of the toughest I have had to deal with in 20 years it is all manageable and there is light and the end.

My health issues that have come on in the last year pale in comparison to some of you and what you go through and deal with on a day to day basis is inspiring.

Some stuff I have to deal with very soon have lost there edge as far as worry goes and the way I deal with it has changed... I have had some good advice from members on this forum and referred to family members for legal or emotional ... so thanks guys and gals !!!!!!!
G'day Jonathon,

If you don't think your bloody anxiety, depression, sadness and stress impact your physical health, think again. All of these emotions trigger chemical reactions in your body, which can lead to inflammation and a weakened immune system. You must learn how to cope, my fussy-arsed friend. There will always be dark days ahead of us.

That's the thing about farken depression mate, a human being can survive almost anything, as long as he/she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The darkness is like Collingwood winning a farken grand final. lol

PS, you know mate, you have a place to come up and stay, I am just a phone call away! the poet lol

Regards,

Paul
