Hey guys ! thought id share my story.

[Owen1]

This is my first post so ill start by introducing myself , My names Owen , I am 18 years old and live on the coast, my favorite thing in the world is rugby league been playing since i was a kid and nothing brings me more joy, and im really good at it and really sit into that environment. I've had depression for over a year and a half now and thought id check out beyond blue and share my experience with people and maybe hear about other peoples experiences, From what i learnt from myself is that when im talking to people and friends i don't feel alone. I'll quickly outline my story and if anyone wants to talk more about themselves or me there more then welcome. Basically when i was 17 i had it all, i had a license a job a girlfriend and basically life was great , my dream was to serve in the Australian army and i eventually got accepted and was almost ready to leave, although i got myself into serious trouble with the police and five days before i was due to leave i was terminated, i lost my license around the same time for 15 months and lost my job and have been unemployed since, made it extremely hard to see friends and it has made the days long and hard for over a year now. What made me come here to talk was that my girlfriend cheated on me on the weekend and we broke up, Ive been real down and looking to talk just to give me that extra push i need to get back in the right direction. id love to hear your stories and share mine if you wanna chat feel free to write more here. Thanks everyone !

dear Owen. I'm a rugby union chap and at the moment watching the wallabies and Ireland playing while I am typing this reply.

You may have lost your licence because of .05, or actually .15 so therefore because you had a record the army wouldn't allow you to join.

Did your girlfriend cheat on you because you had no licence, as she wanted to keep up with the rest of your friends, so really it's a blessing in disguise as it probably would have happened later on, and she will probably do the same with a string of guys.

By the rules of BB no one is allowed to email each other, well we don't even know your email address.

Are there any job opportunities close to you or maybe someone can pick you up, but this can be a hassle, and are you still living at home. Geoff.
