Depression

Right, my friends, I've thought about posting for a couple of days but I wanted to avoid the usual garb with New Year.

However, I want to tell you what's happened in my current mindset.

Being in a 20 year relationship really played with my head, heart and life. Being out of it, I realised how troublesome that relationship was. I made excuses for her behaviour, her racism and irresponsibility with money.

I have more money, the stress has started to lift and I'm on a dating site to a little success! My overall mood has changed. I'm still taking my tabs as I don't want to think I have all the answers.

Whether by design or accident, I feel like I'm taking back control of my life.

So, basically, it's bad when we're in the mire, my friends, but please dig deep and persevere. We'll try and get through it together.

well done - stay single trust me.

This is the one thing that's troubling me. I think it's cos of the New Year that more women have come on the site and I'm being 'liked', but I've 'seen' someone for a couple of weeks and she's giddy.

I like her, but I'm single 6 months. We do get on and she deleted her profile off the site, the minute we hooked up.

It feels like a fair bit of pressure so early, so what do I do here?

It feels really mad that I feel to ask advice, but my fun and single days are 20 years ago, so I don't know if the climate's changed or what?!!

Ignore anyone that says to stay single, they’ve just never met the right person before - that’s my first advice.

Seize the relationship, see what happens but settle for nothing. Make sure she makes you as happy as you want to make her. That’s important.

Brilliant news mate.
Shitstorms like this and what others go through give amazing gifts if you can persevere....we can become Gandalfs..
well done - stay single trust me.
Haha....gotta love you sometimes mate.
 
I have suffered from what I now understand to be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for about 10 years. I took the plunge a few months ago and bought a 'treatment' light. Possibly just a co-incidence but since using it I have noticed a marked difference in my mood and attitude.
Whilst I fully understand that Depression proper is a different ball game altogether, if you do suffer from 'Winter depression' a light is worth having a go with.
My sincere sympathies go out to anyone with serious depression, it is a truly horrible illness.

It has changed dramatically.

The sweet shop that is internet dating became the norm!!

Personally it it were me, after 20 years in a relationship I wouldn’t rush into anything with anyone. There is no rush! Have a bit of fun. I’ve seen so many blokes I know split up then within 6 months they are shacked up with some woman with a couple of kids.

Good to hear you are feeling a little better!
