I can relate to what you say. I am a mere shadow of my former self.

You don't strike me as "completely mad" and I don't believe you were "not good enough" for that relationship. You may be unsuited for one another, that does not mean not good enough, nor does it mean that you should be treated as not good enough.

Concentrate on taking care of yourself. You are worth it; you have a lot to offer.

Congratulations on making a decision about the half b/f ... given time maybe someone new will come along ... someone who treats you like a person... but when you are ready you have to put yourself out there ... give yourself some time to heal emotionally as well as physically... and you can always tell us at depnet what amazing changes you have made to your life... we will support you... and cheer you on... hopefully...

be gentle with yourself... you have made some big changes already... you have a lot of strength and courage... and you have managed your care since the operation...

take care

Hi Jo

Hey Jo I can so relate to the "I don't know where I went" I am still searching for that person. I don't thing that is possible to go mad overnight.

Too much time on your own thinking, but you're a good thought lady, and I do think that you made the right choice with the other half......It has to be all or none, my wiew..
At present just work on rest and getting better in recovering, mens are like trains, you miss one there sure be another one on the way..


Jo be sure to keep that fire going....

best wishes Marie

Hi Maple,

You still have the most important person in the world to report to - yourself. You're a strong and capable woman and I'm proud of you ending your relationship because you deserve so much better than to be put down all the time and made to feel like a failure.

It will take you some time to undo the subsequent self esteem issues that you have after being put down by the ex half b/f, but feel proud of yourself for having the courage to end a relationship that was not in your best interests.

To you I say "well done". You are a very brave soul indeed.

Love Karen xxx

Sweetheart I think we are all ready really mad and I dont think that its a bad thing cos it makes us different from the rest of society. I reckon having depression gives us a better insight to ourselves.

We do have a lot more questions, we need answering than most so dont be to hard on yourself hunny, after all your only human.

Love, care and support always
