I hope you'll have many more happy years, and that you'll never lose your optimism!

Ah! thanks for that B'Elana, and thanks for you post
Smudger.

You're more than welcome, Smudger.

Hi Smudger ,

I enjoyed reading your article and also found it very touching .

As you already know, I lost my job about 3 years ago due to illness and find it very difficult to pick myself up some days and carry on .

I have had 2 relationship breakdowns and find it very difficult to get on with life, its something which at the time, have a feeling that you are drifting away from that person and deep down know that it is just a matter of time before you split up, which often is not very easy.

That is about 3 years ago at the time of also losing my job and although it is in the past, I find it very painful to talk about even now and are on a cocktail of anti-depressants and sedatives to keep me sane . The doctors can keep upping the dose of these tablets but it doesn't take the pain away from the past events.

Anyway, I am young and innocent , single and if there are any hoo-too'ers out there that is also young and innocent then drop into my space or email for a chat .

Take care Smudger and all the best to MK2.

Nigel .

Hi Nigel, Cheers for that, its true though, that only people who suffer from depression are the only ones who can even begin to understand just what its like?
I always thought that my mood swings and irritability came from the constant back pain I have, but I have been told by the PSN that its mainly die to me having PTSD, and I never even knew of that, until she told me

BTW, it takes a lot of courage to walk away from a long term relationship, but its worth it in the long run, even for the person you have left, rather than carry on with the pretence of being happy
