Hello It's my first time here

Lonewolf69 — Sun, 07 Jun 2020 21:40:26 GMT

This is my first time here and I am struggling with depression at the moment.I recently lost my job because I had to leave work early a few times because of severe anxiety.I had told my employer I have depression and also have prostate cancer.The last time I left work early was because my boss forced me to confront a co-worker who sent the police to my place telling them I was suicidal.He was acting on things his daughter who I thought was a close friend had told him.He didn't talk to me before calling the police.I trusted my friend with personal things and now feel betrayed by her.I also feel like what they did was wrong but I am the one being punished.I have tried to contact my friend and my boss but they aren't replying.

welocome to the forum , This is a sipportive place, iam sorry you are struggling as you have a lot to cope with,

I wonder if you have contacted Prostateate Cancer Foundation of Australia. My partner has found it a great resource because there is peer support there. Communicating with someone who is in the same boat and knows what you are going through can help,

Most men with Prostate an error experience depression.
Feel free to keep posting here,
