It’s a very strange time. 1 week ago I was planning a party weekend, now I’m ****ting myself over the fate of my children & parents - I don’t give a **** what happens to me. I’m still hopeful this this will be an anti-climax & we will be laughing about it in the pub in a few weeks time.
Your personality is a big factor in how you'll cope. If you are an introvert you'll probably have a lot of quiet solitary interests, music, reading, gaming, gardening etc. If your an extrovert you are going to struggle more because you'll lose your workplace audience. I've observed this many times with people approaching early retirement.
My Dad committed suicide yesterday. He was 67 which is no age at all really. He's been struggling with depression for about 3 years but it's hard to accept he's chosen to do this at this time and leave behind a loving wife and family. I cant even ****ing fly back to England to help my Mam right now with the ****ing virus restrictions.
mate, I’m so sorry to hear this tragic news. Nothing I can say will help - but you have 100’s of mates in this not606 community. Here if you need us x
I have no words that will make a difference mate. I'm so so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you and your family. Try and stay strong. Here for you.
Can't really comprehend what you and your Mam must be going through right now mate, and no words seem adequate. Like others have said, if it helps, there's people here who are thinking of you; if you need to communicate with anyone you know that you can do it here.
I'm so sorry, that must be horrific for you and your family. Is your Mam local to Hull - is there anything we can do for her, social distancing notwithstanding?
Terrible news, they always mention the stats of men under 40 but all ages clearly suffer serious mental health problems.
My deepest sympathies and condolences ST. It may well not seem like it at the moment, but time will ease the pain and holding onto good memories will make things more understandable. Take care.
That is heartbreaking in so many ways. I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through right now. As others have said, there are no words, but there are plenty of kind thoughts.
I think this isolation is really getting to me. Had three or four breakdowns now. Becoming way too easy to rely on alcohol to supress. Thank god I live in Burstwick, I can go walkign for miles across fields in the middle of nowhere to clear my head. Hope everyone else out there is coping better than I am.
