Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

[PhilM]

Without wanting to speak out of line, @Twinkletoes123, never, ever think as if you're to blame for any of the abuse you've suffered. They ARE to blame.

I hope you and your daughter have the best Christmas you can, and I assure you that your daughter will think very highly of you for speaking up.

Thinking of you Brendan, hope you are doing OK x

Thank you, but not really, still here !!

Happy Christmas to all who post pm this thread. Christmas can be a tricky time. I'm not a huge fan personally either. But will have a look here tonight and tomorrow if anyone needs to chat.

Haven’t been on much as haven’t been great. Thanks for your kindness and concern. I have been in contact with threshold (womens aid) I am still on a list to see them so I am seeing my therapist in the new year to see if she can give them another push.
My daughter and I are okay currently, (I know it seems awful to say) but we are so used to our situation that it feels normal and my therapist even said it may take years to adapt to normal surroundings when it’s over.
I will try and be more active in the coming days, I’m finding it a bit embarrassing that I put myself in this situation and think maybe I shouldn’t have shared so much.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas xx

Silence only magnifies the load. Getting it said is important, unburdening. That you have had the bravery to admit it here and most importantly to yourself is the first step to taking back control, please understand there's folks here happy to lend an ear and to try to be supportive. Try and have a nice Christmas and approach the new year with some much deserved hope and positivity.

Just keep talking to the lads on here mate there is always someone listening.
Tomorrow is just another day , try to avoid the constant bon ami on the terrestrial channels as most of it is bullshit about a Christmas none of us really recognise
I would suggest picking a couple of your favourite films and work your day around them . If you feel up to it go for a walk I the morning you will feel better for it.

Best of luck mate we are all rooting for you.

My first ever Christmas day on my own (post divorce). Been feeling sorry for myself but got to say the bravery and compassion on this thread puts it all into perspective.
Merry Christmas to all Blues and here's to a better 2023.

Definitely this mate , I know this place is social media but it is a place where most of us have a common interest. I do not use any of the other social media outlets and beyond this place I don't feel the need for any of the others.

Keep making plans, keep giving it your best. You can do no more. Little steps. Little victories. There is a future for you. There is happiness out there.
Keep believing, Keep trying x
