Yeah noticed that and hopefully he's doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

Exactly. People make mistakes which can be very impactful, but it's important to know that there's support that can aid recovery.

This is a wonderful thread. Having suffered depression and anxiety myself without a way to release it and discuss it outside my closest I can do nothing but tip my hat to you guys, massive respect. Love you all.

Good man. Its boss isn't it?! Weird how it helps to unburden yourself onto strangers on a chat forum! It really helps me to know I'm not the only sufferer out there! I'm doing ok at the mo, back on a low dose of citalopram which is helping. Good days far outnumbering the bad but am getting horrible intrusive thoughts fairly often. Anyone else get these? Any tips for dealing with them?

Folks. Even if you’re not a Queen fan, Brian May talks candidly about suicide and depression in this interview.

This thread gives me hope for humanity. Great non-judgemental support. In bits reading some of the posts.

I got drunk last night. Relapsed. First drink in 3 weeks. If I don't count the Christmas period that's 2nd time I've been drunk in 5 months. Right back to square one. Hate myself today

You`re only human mate, don`t beat yourself up.

We go again

Don't hate yourself, it's done now nothing you can do about it now, dwelling on it certainly won't help.. start again today.

At least I managed to throw a few cans down the toilet so I hate myself a little less than I would have done

Score draw I reckon. At least not a heavy defeat.
