    I am trying to rebuild theres no going back to my ex oh , i have emailed her loads but she wont budge. I have even sent her flowers on flowers saying sorry, etc nothing fixes it. 

    I am at my olds place and i am training loads to keep my head right i am not back to work till next week. I have renegotiated my dmp with Step change its going from a couple of hundred a month to 1000 ish pm, given twelve months i will be clear. Driving test is in a couple of months. Mental health wise i am not stable i am yoyo ing constant and i keep crying like a flipping girl at random stuff, yes ladies us blokes do cry, i love her and whats happening is cutting me to shreds. 

    I feel like well i cant say, but i suppose the powerful play goes on and i still have another verse to contribuate.

    Be kind to yourself.
    its quite possibly one of the worse feelings when a relationship you were invested in and valued doesn't work out , I know its an old cliche but time really does heal and although you may not feel you have many reasons to smile right now , please try , this world is and can be a wonderful be.

    A positive is that the debts are flying down , take a day at a time and ride the waves of the emotions that come with a break up  and try and do something for you other then paying the debts 


  • Yeah it really doesnt feel that way, day by day i just have no hope. Day by day i just am not functioning at all. 
  • Hi Scott
    Don't be afraid to reach out to people around you or medical proffesionals if things feel too bleak
