Default An apology

What im going to say comes from the heart and is 100% true.

I got given something that changed my life forever the other day, the circumstances at that point were looking like i wasnt going to be here writing this but it made me realise is what an idiot ive been over the past while.

If i could turn back time and start again i would but its not as easy as that.

As you will all know i suffer from very bad depression which has turned my/fiancee/familys life upside down, its a horrible thing that i wouldnt wish on anyone.

Im not looking for any sympathy from anyone but i have realised that i have been an absolute cock to alot of people on these forums.
Most of the time i dont realise im doing it, then it gets pointed out to me

I know friendships are not going to be the same a again but at least now i have realised where the problem is and i can now sort myself out.

The main reason im writing this is to say sorry to anyone ive offended over the past months.

Doctors pills don't help mate.
I have never been so well since I come off mine THIORYDAZINE tablets, for organic personality disorder(psychotic tendencies), brain damage from hit & run drink driver(thanks!!).
As you found out life goes on, plenty of people need you in their life, don't forget it.
Don't worry be happy!!

ps respect to you for this

Fair play to you
Not a nice thing to experience as a person or through another person, but you CAN get through it, it's the weak that cant. And by this post it show's that your strong imo. Hold your head up and smile

Depression is an illness & not easy to cope with, friends will understand im sure if you explain, seen it in the family not good & effects all who come into contact with it. First step to copeing is realising there is a problem.

It's been hard to read some of your posts sometimes, because you haven't helped yourself, but I've seen friends go through what you are now, so understand that your mind's all over the place and awash with different emotions.

It takes a man to do what you've done here and apologise, and I just hope those who you have 'beef' with are also man (or woman, as the case may be) enough to forgive and forget.

Its all down to the pace of life today, theres not many people who genuingly can cope with 21st century life. I have MANY freinds on here stressed to the max, so don't ever think ur the only one, you just take it as a hard lesson in life and you WILL come through to the other side a better person.

You have no need to apologise to me as you have never offended me in anyway what so ever. All I will say is keep your head high mate and remember there is always someone somwhere to talk to. That includes me.

Take care of yourself mate, Benni.

Had me in tears reading it when they gave me it, it may not seem much to anyone else but it done something to me thats made me have a whole new look on life.

I can honestly say that if i didnt get so much support from my family and fiancee and Nico(my pup) i wouldnt be here today, harsh but true.

I'm Proud of You Son

There have been moments when all i wanted to do was hold you in my arms and tell you everything would be all right.

But as a parent, sometimes my job was more than just giving a reassuring hug.

I had to let you find out things for yourself, even when the outcome was painfull.

It wasn't always easy, but i believed it was necessary.

If i allowed you to think that any problem you ever had would go away just by wishfull thinking, i wouldnt have been fulfilling my role as a parent.

You had to learn and grow through your own trials and experiences, slowly but surley building self-confidence and courage with every step you took.

I encourage you to be youeself, feel comfortable with who you are, and not let any obstacle in front of you frighten you away.

I tried to teach you courage and positive thinking to guide you over uncertain waters.

I did the best i could with whatever tools i had.

I wasnt a perfect parent but i tried.

And through all the tears and worrying you turned out just fine.

Im so proud of you son and the accomplishments you've made in your life.

You're successful and inteligent and there is no limit to where you can go or what you can do.

But more than just your accomplishments got you where you are today.

Good morals, a sense of humour and a loving heart contribute to the wonderful man you are.

I love you and i want you to know how proud i am of you.

That must have been such a nice card to get after everything you've been going through, enough to make anyone cry. The replys to this thread are some of the most heartfelt i've seen on here.

Hope you feel better soon,

Mark
