Gonna be smashing my way building 2 new rounds up in SE London and be back in the game again.
Been on a downer the last year and lost interest in it all, work has more than suffered! Lost so much due to lack of motivation and depression which i have never had before...now I'm feeling better than ever and am gonna be back in the zone.

All the best Mick, can also relate as my wife suffers badly from severe depression and sadly my 17 Yr old daughter living with her mum is on suicide watch, for last couple of weeks.

Glad your coming through it strong and refocused. Hope it goes well for ya

micks not depressed now though is he?

all my bandmates are on antidepressants......i dont understand it myself .thing is a lot of these drugs affect their libido which IS a reason to be depressed!

i reckon id be depressed if i  couldnt get it up and started to lose work because i couldnt  be arsed to get out of bed in the morning......

[Johnny B]

Glad to see you're back and raring to go Mick.

If I have read between the lines correctly, could your depression be linked to you pushing yourself too hard, to the extent that you burned yourself out mentally and physically?

If so, all I can suggest is take it a little easier, enjoy building your new runs up but do try to balance that with a healthy amount of time off.

All the very best Mick and look forward to reading how you are progressing.

John

[britishwill]

Thats awesome news Mick. Last time I saw you, you were saying how busy you were with little time off. Why don't you build up the rounds to give you good money and a little bit more time off to relax and do what you really enjoy doing. Depression is a hard thing to deal with but sometimes its natures way of saying calm down!It is just your mind writing cheques your body cannot pay.
Best of luck and hope to hear all about your success.
Cheers

I'm a bit surprised at your lack of empathy Daz.

Depression is an awful illness. Sufferers could be on a high one day, and feel like suicide the next. It never goes away but is always there ready to hit, and when it does it hits very hard.

I lost a very dear friend (a fellow window cleaner) a few years ago to suicide because he couldn't fight his battle with depression any longer.

He had a loving family, he was a lovely, lovely fellow who would do anything to help others, but he suffered so much before he decided to end it all and no-one could help him despite all their (and my) best efforts.

So please Daz, before you minimize or mock anyone because you don't understand how they are feeling, then please get educated that not everyone has their head in the clouds like you all the time, and the reason could be that they are seriously ill.

Daz, you’re a nice guy im sure; but these are the words of an utter arse.

[dazmond]

i wish you all the best mick...just dont burn the candle at both ends.....5 or 6 hours a day 4 or 5 days a week is enough window cleaning for one person IMO.....work smart and steady.....

[Stoots]

I dont blame daz for his lack of empathy because i think a lot of people who havent ever suffered from depression just dont get it.

They dont understand what its like to feel like utter poope everyday, they dont know what its like to look around you and see nothing is wrong but inside everything is wrong.

Its a horrible affliction but unless youve been there its easy to say things such as "man up" etc.
