I've been there, mate. Hard to let go. But...

[Lightning McQueen]

Yep, it's a ll part of the circle.

At risk of pushing my own barrow, here's something relative to that discussion.
I thought it was pretty gutsy these folk speaking out in such a way. So very honest.

Good article. Well said

I've been there, mate. Hard to let go. But...

I've been in a similar situation myself.

The closest thing I've ever had to a best mate died of a drug overdose when I was 24. I knew he was battling some heavy demons, and part of me thinks his overdose was intentional.

I was at his place a couple of days beforehand, and spent the afternoon jamming with him, and he seemed like he was in a good frame of mind. In hindsight, he may have known his time was almost up, but if I knew then what I know now...

I remember leaving his place to go home, and as I went to leave, he gave me a big bear hug (which was out of character for him) and said "I love you, brother". Those were the last words he ever said to me.

Although I never hit the drugs as hard or as habitually as Eustice, i know what the depression and suicidal thoughts are all about. It's something I struggle with every day. Luckily Mrs. Creation is always there for me, even just to listen to my unimportant ramblings, and I know it must frustrate the hell out of her at times. The poor girl puts up with a lot.

I can safely say that without her, I would be dead.

Wow, identifying and not living in denial is half way there man.

I've been battling these issues for 21 years now, and only my age and (lack of) maturity has helped me accept it. I spent most of my pre-teen and teenage years blaming others for how I turned out, but I was the problem all along.

The lyrics to this song sum me up pretty well:

Plenty of ears around to chew on mate. Don't for a minute ever feel as though what you have to say isn't worth someone else listening to.

I know, mate. You and Valleys07 have been awesome in that regard.

Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself a lot, and that it frustrates Mrs. Creation.

[Booney]

Always here mate.

[bennymacca]

Pretty bloody impressed with the level of conversation in this thread lads.

For a while about 18 months ago a couple of mates and me were catching up on Tuesday evenings at the pub and letting our shit out, it felt better knowing I wasn't the only one who was seemingly pissing into the breeze.

I'd be more than happy catching up for a couple of brews and a chat mate, my life isn't all bells and whistles but it's bloody simple now, it's all going to change soon though once I move, I'll lose the opportunity to jump on the train when I'm bored and go to my favourite pub to have a laugh and forget about life for a while.

Likewise, mate.

You'll have to find a new favourite pub!

I was never a pub person in the first place, I'll just have a few at home.

There's nothing like having a beer in your pyjamas.

I find it too cold when it's pressed against my leg. I just hold my beer in my hand.

Hahaha, good call, lads.

[Dogwatcher]

A bed beer is very under-rated.

[Booney]

Don't ever let anyone tell you that beer isn't a breakfast drink either.
