    Aww I'm very sorry to hear this mate. By the sounds of it there's nothing you could have done, clearly he was going through dark times but if he doesn't reach out, and you live so far apart that you don't physically see or hear about him, how were you at all to know? Please don't beat yourself...

    He just said I've really hurt him and for that he doesn't want me as best man now, and that I shouldn't bother coming. Well yes... that is exactly what I was getting at. It's just nonsense how selfish and daft he has acted towards me the past 6 or so months. Selfish for trying to guilt me into...

    Last night I finally bit the bullet and told him I will not be his best man and that's he's making a mistake by rushing into this whole marriage idea. He's of course reacted badly and I think that's likely it for our friendship. We have hardly spoken the last couple of months. I've had things...

    I haven't asked him about financials, though I don't imagine he's arranging all of this cheap. I do know he told me I'd have to pay for the outfit! That's not the point though, I just will absolutely not do it. I don't approve of the whole idea but I agreed to be best man because I didn't want...

    Been a few months since I posted but I've hit a bad spot. My best mate of about the last 10 years is getting married this summer and he's asked me to be best man. I only said yes because I didnt want to hurt his feelings really. The girl he's marrying he has only known a few months after...

    An update. I was diagnosed with diabetes the other day after spending all of Friday and most of yesterday in the hospital. I have a calcium problem too, I had bloods taken Thursday evening and then got a call at midnight telling me to get to A&E. They hooked me up to an IV then further bloods...

    No mate, only my folks and they are not people who would notice none obvious things tbh. I'm considering whether to sign off for a week with stress. It doesn't help I have two roles at work, and often one manager tries to interfere and stop me doing the others. She's someone I really don't like...

    Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

    I'm in a strange headspace, I'm not sure if it's quite a depression or just a bit of restlessness. Either way I don't like it and feel the need to express it somebody. I'm finding my life very unsatisfying. I don't get out as much as I'd quite like, I don't feel like I meet enough people, and I...

    Not good. Sleeping pattern is wrecked, my waking hours feel unproductive, feel let down by a people around me. Really don't the see point in persevering much longer, not like I'd be leaving a lot behind anyway. Life just feels crap and I don't want anymore of this.

    Things have picked up a bit, I'm feeling better thankfully. Going back on my meds is definitely part of that. Thanks x

    Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

    It's been a rough few days. Started in a new role but so far I haven't liked it. Mostly just down to me not getting much training these first few days. Basically have been left to sit around and scratch my bum for 90% of time because I haven't been trained to do anything yet and managers/team...

    Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

    Not feeling particulary good. I've been in a job for almost 2 months and it was going well. Was getting the full hang of everything (lots of different daily tasks), was making a few friendly acquaintances, was impressing my superiors. Wednesday morning we all got pulled into the office and...

    Will offer a bit more detail. It's 48 hours a week, contracted. Four 12 hour days. For 26k per annum It works out as barely above minimum wage even though the job is basically that of a manager. I've seen the exact same role advertised by competitors companies and they all advertise it at £30k...

    Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

    Been given my new proposal in writing. They've changed the goalposts, they want me to be contracted to 48 hours per week, 9-9s on 4 days. That'll be a no. If it were going to be 40-42 I was probably going to give it a go and see as people are suggesting. Contracted to 48 though? That's...

    In an ideal world I'd be reasonably happy with this scenario but it just doesn't seem like it's in the cards. The two who are going have black marks against their names (don't know the details but minds seem to be firmly made up). I just have to look out for myself with this one.

    Update, got a call back from the place I interviewed to offer me the job but they want me to just turn and start tomorrow, despite me explaining my notice period. Turned them down, it's an ego boost to be wanted but it has to feel like the right thing. This certainly didn't and my mind was...

    Feeling not too bad but could do with getting some anxious feelings out! My employer is making budget cuts so a couple of employees are being laid off. Fortunately I've been told I'm not one of them, however they are going to present me with a new contract because they're looking to change my...

    Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

    Just watched an interview with a famous person who said a line that has stuck with me. Was asked a question about his supposed "difficult" reputation and being criticised by certain people he's crossed paths with. "Look, I am who I am. And I like who I am. I just don't care (about his...

    Jason David Frank has tragically took his own life. Was famous for playing Tommy Oliver in the Power Rangers (the green and later white ranger). Was only 49, had 4 kids and was active on the convention circuit, had everything to live for from the outside looking in. A massive figure in my...
