depression / anxiety and FAC

[wraith]

Crosshair that's the problem there is nothing black and white in depression. how many lives would be saved, probably non , someone who reaches that state of mind will find a means to end there life and those of there loved one,s, by whatever means, the problem is the stigma of depression , which prevents people from seeking help.

Wraith only God knows and can comprehend what you have been through.
Your post isn't a rant by any means.
Nothing we can say will ever turn the clock back for you but as time goes on I hope you manage to get over this and remember the good times you had with your lad.

Sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers than the ones closest and dearest to you.

Wraith,

I lost a son in 2004, ill be blunt with you, even after 10 years it doesn't get any easier, you just learn to remember the good times (far too short in my case, he was only 2)

I am a (perhaps not so much now, thanks to the support of my 2nd wife) private person, I keep my feelings and thoughts inside. But eventually i found talking actually does help, seek out someone detached from you and spend some time talking, whilst it won't change anything, it does eventually start to help YOU, even if just to organise your thoughts.

I read this post at the time of its posting and was not sure what to reply but was very impressed with its honesty. Blokes are in general rubbish at talking to others about this type of thing and Scots_Stalker has done us all a service in telling his story, for none of us know when this may happen to us, unfortunately its a very common thing. Its encouraging that there was no difficulty in certificate renewal and demonstrates that trying to hide these things may not be a good idea. At any low point I have found there to be nothing more therapeutic than getting off my backside and going shooting for a few hours in the fresh air. good company of shooting companions and on other occasions just the dog have been excellent perspective setters. To anyone at a low point keep talking. Thanks Scots_Stalker
