Im a 52 year old male that suffers chronic pain and depression for many years. It has cost me most of my "friends" my wife and I see no way out.Last month or so I have been falling back down the dark hole and I can see no end in site.I have lost 2 friends ( in Thailand ) due to covid and many more there are suffering the economic effect of it. Yes they are worse off than me and I guess I feel guilty of just being a sook. I have battled depression for over 15 years and most of the time I manage to keep it fairly normal. Last month I have been loosing control of it and I dont know how to stop it. Now some days I dont even get out of bed ( apart to go to toilet and get water ) My body hurts I sleep a LOT and find pleasure in nothing. I dont want to end up the suicidal train wreck I was years ago as I dont think I have the strength to go through that again. Times are tough for everyone I know but I have no real trigger for this to happen to me now.

Thanks for listening to the rant of a soon to be crazy mad man AHHA

Oh great just what I need. A petrol station trying to be built near me has raised its head again after it was knocked back first time around. I really dont need the extra stress of it now but I have no choice. Will this be straw to tip me over the edge or will I gather my head and get into the fight.

I cant wake up I just want to be in the dark and sleep all the time. Time has no meaning. I need to be strong for a couple more weeks but I dont think I can do this anymore.
