Depression

[Snafu]

I tip my hat with the deepest of gratitude to all of you.

Bad things happen to good people in riding the roller coaster of emotion keenly aware of where in the stages of loss I happen to be at any given time whilst also understanding my wife's are unlikely to be synchronised. Denial, Anger and Bargaining were instant and short lived and I find myself occupying depression and have decided it will be a short stay. I am aware however that acceptance may be a very distant state of mind and that the previous stages may at times suddenly overwhelm me.

I have been an ambassador for beyondblue and aside from never thinking I would need them I have and will along with our company assistance program.

But there is certainly something to be said for the kindness of strangers and you sharing your stores that evidence getting past this are extraordinarily kind and restore my faith in humanity. Thank you all for sharing and your support.

Hi Dave
This will sound hypocritical.
From someone that has and is still suffering from depression for a number of years seeking help is the best way to go. Myself who thought I can fix this and finally found out that I can't. This has cost me plenty in lost friends and my hobbys that I used to enjoy and was passionate about, amongst other things.
All I can say is don't walk the path that I have as it's bloody hard to return from it.
Keep your head held up and surrond yourself with friends and family.
I wish you all the best.
SNAFU.
