Adelaide Oval and the atmosphere last night.. Also being present when the swans sang the song.
Getting a thumbs up from Goodesy was pretty cool.

I rate my wife.

I'm not usually one for sharing my sob stories, but here goes.

Recently, my depression has started to get the better of me and this, combined with strong back pain, is causing me to have daily anxiety attacks.

Most people would tell me to just get over it.

Not her.

Today, she showed the patience of a saint, She woke up, helped me get my breathing on track, rubbed my back and shoulders, and talked me through it. She then suggested I return to see my counselor, and I agreed.

For me, my depression and anxiety are manageable 95% of the time. It's times like this that I appreciate my wife even more.

I rate Jnr Jase and his Hip Hop Crew, Mayhem winning the silver medal in the Primary Small teams at the School Aerobics Nationals... it was an awesome effort by the kids and everyone associated with the team and school who were there absolutely lost their minds when the result was read out...

Super proud.

Also rate going to Movieworld today and having a great time with a number of the families from the school ...

Has been a great weekend. I love working at the school that we as a family (all 4 of us) either attend as students or work at... it is an amazing school, with awesome kids and staff...

That's what relationships are all about mate- glad that your wife has recommended you resume counselling and you have agreed- it truly is the best thing to air out your difficulties to a professional. Even better of her to instill a calming influence in the event of an anxiety attack. It's sad just how many people feel that resource isn't an option.

I'm happy for you that you have taken those steps mate, critical in the battle. Never feel like you can't beat the bastard that is depression and anxiety. I'm hoping for you that it all clears up mate. I've been in and out of a spell of anxiety twice of late, and it's a personal reward when you get out the other side. PM me if you ever need to clear the air- as dogger said: we all have acted like idiots on here but this place is as good as any to air your thoughts. No-one will ever chasticise you for speaking up in times of sadness.

Thanks for the support, mate! You and Booney are absolute legends in my book.

Like I said via text, I'm taking each day as it comes at this stage. I've been given some new meds, which hopefully help.

My frustration at how my life is going gets the better of me sometimes. I'm lucky I've got great people around me to guide me through it.

Thanks mate.

You're absolutely right. I'm amazed at how many awesome folks are around this site, some I've actually met in person.

I'm glad I signed up.

I am going to beat the **** out of this bastard. It might not be this time, the next time, or the time after that, but it will happen.

I really appreciate all the thoughts and well wishes. It really does make a bloke feel valued.

8) yeah that's not me :D

In all seriousness though, good luck mate, as someone whose dealt with the same for most my adult life, it's a real prick of a thing but I've always felt it comes in waves and tomorrow may not be as bad as today. You're very fortunate to have a loving and supporting partner who can help you through the bad times.

It's sad but I think mental health is becoming more of a problem these days for people, I put it down to the pressures placed on us through either work, family, the government (taxes, interest rates etc) or even placed on by ourselves (high standards/expectations)

Cheers lads.

PG, I know what you mean. I've lived with this now for about 20 years, and it does come in waves. I know I might never be completely rid of depression and anxiety, but I'm working on getting it back to the stage where I can function like a normal person.

I feel there's still a huge stigma attached to the mental illness as a whole, despite celebrities and famous athletes being affected. I don't know about you, PG, but most people wouldn't have the slightest idea about my condition. Is it because (as blokes), we find ourselves being judged by our family, friends and peers as being lesser people for it?

There have been countless times over the past two decades where people have dismissed, ignored, or ridiculed me for having issues, so I'm now at the stage where I'm no longer ashamed about having depression and anxiety. I'm used to it, and although at times I don't deal with it as well as I should, I'm not ready to throw in the towel today. However, there have been times where I've wanted or tried...

Although it's not the cause of it (but it definitely contributes to it), my job is not making my life easier. When I started my job four months ago, I thought it was going to be a huge opportunity for me to expand myself. Instead, I'm getting **** all hours, and I've had terrible back pains for the last two months. However, I can't afford to quit my job. It's quite the catch-22.

I have thought about getting into a couple of short TAFE courses next year, once I can afford to buy myself a camera, in the hope that I can either do it more as a hobby, or make something out of it.

Sorry for the long-winded post, but I have a hard time explaining myself most of the time.

I really do appreciate everyone's concern for me, it honestly means a lot.

Cheers, ladies and gents.
