I've never really thought about having depression, I've always looked at things as a swings and roundabouts scenario. Seems to me the swing I'm on is still going backwards. I haven't worked for 4 years and there's no prospects in sight. I'm totally supported by my partner (who works from home). Centrelink is a joke, I'm not eligible for Newstart so none of the job agencies are willing to assist in finding work. I'm a Telecommunications Technician by trade, 60 years old and on the scrapheap as far as employment is concerned. Hurt my back a few years ago so labouring is pretty difficult for me to do. My last job was making the backs for bus seats.
I don't have any money to spend on the Patrol so it's basically staying stock standard. My only joy is going out one day on the weekend to somewhere we haven't been and using my camera, but even that has been crap lately. I can't seem to take a decent shot which only adds negatively to things. The week just drags, I think my swing needs a push in the other direction.....![]()
