    Baz you do have friends, it's no good hiding inside waiting for them to come see you, you need to get out there.
    Last week you were really positive, keep going, just grit your teeth and keep plugging away at life.
    Don't dwell on your mistakes, learn from them and go see the bloody doctor.

    Yesterday was my end; I’ve never been that low, never.
    I felt it building up over the last 4 days, I know in myself that when I get like that there's not a lot I can do, I try to keep my self occupied by going out or doing stuff around this house, but I keep going down big time.

    I am a person who keeps the past locked up, but certain key factors trigger me to open that damn door and bad stuff runs in my head, I am one for helping myself, and trying to keep control of my feelings, at the moment I have no routine, this is not helping me at all, I’m still lost, but I guess in time I will have some sort of life, life with meaning.

    I have difficulty in explaining myself, and especially in the form of text, I have in the past upset a few people by my posts, I did not mean this, it's the way I write things, sorry.

    I do know right from wrong, I did get involved with some people that did not help matters for me at all, infact I started living a life that was totally not me, I was with the wrong people and thank god I stopped it and pulled out.

    My drinking now has almost stopped, I was binge drinking very bad, when I got in the pub, I wanted to be on the same level of the other people in the pub, so I just downed drink like it was the last, but then I realised over the months, that the people in the pub where not pissed or on any level, it was just the feeling I had.
    My last drink was Saturday night and I only had 4 pints.

    In a way I have been looking for something that's not there, or I should say it's not my time yet, I know in time I will meet someone, but I’ve got to give up looking, it's time to ease off and try to get myself sorted out.
    I can't allow myself to get that low again, I feel bad for posting my problems on the net but at the mo I’ve not got anyone to open up to, I can't bottle things up no more.

    You know how close to death you are when you sit for hours thinking of how to die, slit wrists, knife to hart, if I was going to do it, I chose the knife to the hart, sorry to say this but that was how I was going to go.
    Thank god last night I got out of this house.

    Today I feel better, I’m no way as fucked up as I was, honest, that was my point of no return, I was so close, I was doing stuff thinking & knowing it was my last, I don't know at what point I was going to do it, but in my mind I was going to.

    Last nights dream was not so bad, not so fucked up like the rest.
    My dreams are a lot to do with this at the moment, it's very odd as my dreams are like so real, in my dreams I am living in the past when things were good, well I say good, but they were not good as I was being controlled, but it's all I had at the time, and life goes on.

    I am weak, I’m shy, I do have a job to be myself when in the company of other people, but one thing about me is that I am a very honest person with strong morals, this may be one of my down falls, I don't know.
    I am looking for something I’ve lost, but I think I’ve over cooked it by looking in all the wrong places.

    I am now going to seek the right help, I’m still very unsure about the pills for depression as when I can't think I become confused, the anxiety becomes too much to handle.
    I do take neulactil - pericyazine for the anxiety, it is very powerful, but I don't want to keep taking them, I just want to get better, taking the pills is no cure for anxiety.
    When I’ve got anxiety I don't have depression, and vice versa, I am well fucked up and I’m like a yo yo.


    I thank, Fugley, manker & Gripper
    And especially TheWizeard, sara & Ian

    without my family and my friends on FST I don't think I could have made it to today, I thank you sincerely for the help and advice you have gave me.
    Love from Barry

    Hope things will now get better for you, Baz. Bookmark your post and refer to it IF things get bad - it will give you some perspective.

    Nicely written piece of prose, by the way.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    I have been Wallowing In Self Pity, it's takes certain events for one to see what's going on, yesterday being so damn fucking low "lowest ever" to pull back thinking so positive for the first time in so, so, so long.

    Fuck my past; it's done fuck all for me, now it's my time again.
    I'm not going to slag anybody off from this day, as I'm now a strong believer in Karma... .

    WTF have I been doing in the last 8 months? Fuck all.......... not good

    No pubs, No drugs, No hanging around with thugs.

    If I stay positive, Do positive things and stop thinking of a LOST LOVE that just was NOT even there in the first place, then I may have a decent nights sleep, which will make me feel better for the next day.

    Time to wake up, time to take a deep breath and say fuck it.

    Thank you all for being a part of my recovery from this damn shit.
    If I keep an attitude like this then I'm sure I will make it 100%

    I'm sorry for being FST's Biggest Mentalist, but at least I am being honest

    And that just me...


    Thank you!
