Depression

[2TROLLFAM]

As Dori would say "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming"

2014 has got to be one of the worst years for nearly everyone I know. Dearh, distruction, illness, unexpected expenses etc etc

And it's tough but having been to the depths of despair and back again I know you guys can get through it. I'm so glad to see how many of you share your darkness here - you need to let it out and learn to move on from it in a positive way which is b£#% hardest thing to learn

In the end I had a fantastic therapist who got me over the line. What he taught me, broken down to basics was : the past is gone, you can NOT change it, some things in your here & now you can't change because it just is what it is. Don't sweat the small stuff and recognise what you can't change and then don't sweat it (easy said - hard to learn & do) work through it but don't allow it to consume you.

Earlier in the year I MASSIVE financial issues & had no idea what I was going to do but I joined MYBUDGET and in the small amount of time from April to now my $$$ are sorted, I'm on a strict budget but every bill is paid on time & there's even a stock pile ready for xmas

Would highly recommend it as did friends of mine to me.

I wish everyone all the best and please don't give up on yourselves

That would partly be my fault with the sell you Q to NN post, BA. Do you know how hard it is to be sitting here, isolated at my place, reading about you and other members having troubles? I can't be there to help you, which I would do in the blink of an eye.

Been tough of late dealing with all the issues of this year that seem to be compounding and getting very heavy on my chest.... does not help when some make idiotic comments and offer stupid advise that makes as much sense as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Yeah I have a sook but it is part of my coping method and the pom in me but its also out of shear frustration with the situation.

Something has to give as the strain is really starting to show on both my wife and myself.... f$£k this stupid car and f$%k the baggage associated with my mum........ going shooting tonight with some bloody good mates and hope that picks me up..!!!!

I seem to have given up on my years motto??

Cheer up Jonno, things will get sorted in time mate...... and don't forget you and the tribe are always welcome over here if a break is ever needed and also so I can kick you in the nuts for being a dick

[Rossco]

Yeah really sux with the run of luck with the bloody motor, but awesome job so far its so close now. If you ever need a hand more than happy to help, no expert but can do what I can.
Have a good trip we all need a refresher.

The years not over yet don't give up on that motto just yet, it will get there you deserve to enjoy it

[Stropp]

hey mate, i know how hard it can be but as the others have said, keep pushing on mate and it does sound like you are so close with the patrol mate, keep plugging away and you will get there and as clunk says, always a bed over here in wa if you need a break.

Well. It looks like I am A) In BA's bad books.
B) He misunderstood my post which meant: I would come and give you a hand if it was possible.
C) In BA's bad books.

That is a big problem with posting on a forum, as it is easy to get the wrong end of the stick.

As I have posted on your build thread, Jonathan, I wouldn't have had the patience to do a conversion and work through all the problems you have encountered. You are so close to having the vehicle you deserve.
I have the bad habit of looking at the bad things and letting them get on top of me too. I need to learn to tackle all problems one step at a time. Heres's to a timely success.

Craig you are not in my bad books you paranoid nut.... could not be further from the truth mate !!!!!!

Cheers guys... waiting to head off shooting and keeping my mind busy with that has kept me from thinking about my car... until a few minutes ago I walked past it and my mind strayed back...blah!!!

Tonight should be very good therapy !!!!

Like rossco said mate you are doing an awesome job. It's easy to look at what's not going your way. However keep in mind how much you have learnt from this, not just mechanically, but how many people are willing to help a good bloke like yourself out. Also all the info you have now supplied to those who will tackle this in the future not just with the td42 but also the info that has come about with your petrol motor as well.

Enjoy your weekend mate and remember there are plenty of us willing to help. You have my number bloke don't be scared to use it.
