:hello: Everyone,

Morning! hope all is well,Shaz I am so happy for you with Ian,things are so looking up for you,enjoy it

Anni: Hope you are alright,Its a shame the Mental Health Team say they cant help you anymore,that is wrong really,my Mental Health Team is excellent and helps me when I need them so yours should help you as well.I would say something to them when you feel able,no one should have to cope alone.

I am glad things are going well with Sam and that you can chat to him about anything,he sounds so great for you and I wish you both every happiness in your new relationship.

*hugs* to those that need one

love and light,

MIRO,

I am not going to thank your post because I don't want you to do anything silly. And it would be silly mate. I can't begin to know how bad your past has been. But I am proof that life can change for the better in an instant.

I have always enjoyed reading your humour and your intellect. You deserve happiness and it could be round the corner, it really could.

If you don't like your life then change it. Move house, try anything. Coz if you really are at the end of your rope then what have you got to lose?

If people around you don't "get" you then find new people. Please try other things before giving up.

All the best mate.

MIRO
I had to reply to your post but i am really worried about saying the wrong thing.Hope you realise i am writing from concern for you and no other reason.As you said you had been awake all night when you posted and there is a saying that it is always darkest before dawn,so i am hoping you are at least feeling a little better.So sorry that nobody has helped you move on from the deaths of your partner and daughter and i find it hard to believe professionels have told you to "get over it"i am sure nobody who has lost someone close has ever done that ,but what they do learn is how to live with it.I don't know if you have ever been in touch with cruise but i believe they still give advise even many years after a loss it does not have to be recent.
You have said that nothing works but what you should have said is nothing has worked yet,you are still a young man and as Gilly has said you really do not know what could be round the corner,i am sure he believed as you do that he would never be happy again yet he has found great happiness.
Also,and this may sound cruel but would your partner have wanted you to throw your life away when hers and your daughters was taken away ?i think not she would have wanted you to keep fighting and never give up.
You thought you would be criticised and accused for your post but so far i have only seen posts from people deeply concerned for you a long standing member of this forum.

Miro -

I agree with Geminilady. A lot of us here can truly appreciate how you must be feeling as we (mostly) all suffer from depression. I have been at such low points in the past that I have thought "What is the point?" and I would have loved to have just fallen under a bus to have it all end. However, I was determined that I wouldn't give in and life is now a hundred times better now than it used to be (without me doing anything - life around me just naturally changed). I think when you are at rock bottom the only way left in life is up and you have to really believe that at some point life will change for you and will get better. Life has a way of doing this. If it was the other way round and you had died instead of your daughter would you want her to end her own life?

Im not an expert in this but could you ring the Samaritans? Im sure you would have a sympathetic voice on the other end of the phone and they could even guide you as to the way forward. I would also try to find a sympathetic doctor (some doctors are awful and some are lovely. You just have to find the right one) and tell them how you feel. There is help out there so get angry, fight and say "Why should I suffer? Why should I give in?" and vow to do something positive now. I don't know if you drink but never make decisions when you have had a drink. Always think to yourself that you will wait until the morning to see if you feel the same way. Drink can really warp your mind.

Hugs and best wishes. Please keep posting and let us know how you are getting on. We all care here.

Miro,

Please dont do anything silly,I have been there at my lowest believe me,I am single and happy with lots of friends around me,If I meet a guy then fine,if I dont I just battle on with my life and enjoy my friends and family.I do feel for you but if you are really low do contact the Samaritans they are good,they wont judge you and all is confidential between you and them,I used their service twice when I was at my very lowest and found them to be helpful,I just talked and talked and they listened.I lost a friend recently but now I think of them fondly and all the good times we had.You are a lovely person Miro just believe in No1 and that is you.Do post to us to say that you are ok and you are not alone Miro we have all been there and the support on here is great.There is light at the end of the tunnel and not all clouds have a silver lining.

love and light,
