You can still dispute not knowing her much, incorporate her in your speech. Being given the role of best man suggests to me that it would render your point of view as worthy of listening to. What would happen hypothetically, if in a short period of time his marriage fails and you disclose you...

It's people like you as I have said many times that makes my work and yes, life worthwhile. God bless

Thanks bud, I'm on top it. Self loathing in terms of accepting and having the insight to recognise that it's an episode of my life I'm thoroughly ashamed of. I've talked about it in Supervision at work and spoke to the children I work with about. (I was happy to and thought it appropriate to...

This, however, it doesn't negate "I was a bully". It STILL bothers me COYBL, and although its not something I'm fixated or pre occupied about, its never too far away. Use my experiences on the subject as something people may learn from.

That's the issue bud and thanks for support. With my mental Health Nurse hat on, I fear he has not forgotten and the bullying he was exposed to will have caused lasting psychological mental turmoil. Of course I can't "change"things now but its a stain on my character and me as a person. I hope...

I'm one of those "arseholes as a child" that Larbert Toffee is refering to. Professionally and personally one could objectively view my overall life as a "success". Married 37 years, job I love, holiday every year blah blah blah. But I carry around with me a stain on my soul from childhood. I...

And you helped someone, great for self esteem. Good man

Great post, nice one

Can I add that the discussions about helping you deal with your anxiety, depression etc and what works etc are really beneficial and helpful. I've always encouraged the people I work with to take their psychotropic medications as prescribed, however, the one thing I also ALWAYS encourage, is...

Are you able to "begin" Tom address and disentangle them. By doing so you may be able to avoid the distressing thoughts and feelings. Or are they something you'll have to acknowledge it's going to continue for the foreseeable? By the way Davey, sorry if what I've suggested is triggering or an...

Davey couple of things. What does the "wobble" look like?. Secondly in my experience when people are on edge it's anxiety which in itself a symptom of a lack of control. Could it be there are lots going on in your life and you feel overwhelmed. Your GP will "probably" prescribe an anti...
