It usually starts with stress, that develops into anxiety or depression.

It’s the feeling of being trapped. You hate what you do, but you’ve got bills to pay and a family to look after, that rely on you.

I can understand why he feels the need to escape, to change.

Yes it can start with stress, certainly not the primary cause but it can contribute towards the offset. I would imagine having been a Marine he could deal with stressful situations quite well, ie resolutions to problems. But the downside of that career is you will carry experiences most of us could never even imagine. ie lost comrades, death etc...which leads to the thoughts of the purpose of life.

I don't normally comment on this for my own reasons, but would say to NSIS that other things like bereavement aren't about stress (which can come later as your life falls apart so therefore can be a by product). I don't think I've suffered depression, but probably PTSD (which I know seems strange as I'm discounting stress but it can be a different thing imo) and don't mind admitting to having had counselling. Not in the ex-army sense as BRB mentions but can certainly relate to his comment about loss/death and the whole purpose of life self-reflection.

Anyway that's my tuppence worth on the whole thing.

I've only written one - it doesn't have to be lengthy but just clear.

"Please accept this letter as confirmation of my resignation from XYZ Ltd.

Been a pleasant read, thanks.

In bed by 10 yesterday, not a drop of alcohol.

Up bright and early, took my mates dog for a run on the beach

Went to work, still havn't written the letter, still havn't had the final investigation.

Came home, cooked for later, and i only have 4 beers in the house, that's all i bought.

I used to regularly buy 4 beers - then without fail, when I was about half way through the second one I’d high-tail it down the offie before they shut, for fear of running out.
