Up until this year I felt as though I had everything under control. Great family, solid support, great friends, the lot.
Though a sufferer of deep depression I always managed to not destroy every part of who I am. I am naturally a very outgoing , bubbly, life of the party kind of a guy and this year that has been taken away from me.
This year my trauma is rampant, my depression has sky rocketed and I now suffer from anxiety which is a new one to the mix. I have so many mixed emotions and I've been turned upside down.
I am not regularly unable to go to work at the last minute which is killing me and my finances. I hardly do any socialising and the activities I did regularly that were my life line I no longer live for or want. Worst of all my 2 year old son who I love and adore makes me realise how severe things have got. Even his smile and laugh can't break my darkness on the worst days which just breaks my heart.
With this post I wasn't sure what I was looking for. A place to air a snipet of what I am experiencing but a thread where I hope you can share your experiences or maybe a similar situations and what your doing to deal with it and tips I can use with my family

Hey William
You and i sound like we have very similar stories and happening at the same time , Honestly man the best you can do is go and get help , I let my own depression get out of control and the consequences not only to myself but to my family was severe!!!
All i can say is make the number 1 priority in your life right now YOU and do what ever it takes to get ontop of things mate - fight it and fight hard
I didn't get help early enough ( still haven't really ) why ? because i was too proud , thought i could do it alone , didnt want to worry my partner etc etc , In the end 2 weeks ago my partner of 7 years the most amazing women i will ever meet my bestfriend , my everything and my 3 yo daughter left me , the strain it has on relationships , and life in general as you know is huge it can and will push the people most close to you to breaking point
Dont let it get any worse mate please
