    About Me

    I am retired but work part time. I have a family of four children and a wife. My children are all adult and have left home in 2006. Found my wife and myself did not know each other. Want to get it right. The damaged marriage triggers depression. I need to deal with these problems. I have had cognitive therapy, the nut doctor and meds. They didn't really help. I have decided to do it myself. I have also decided not to compromise on my marraige. If we cannot achieve the way it "should" be, I will leave it. No half measures are acceptable to me after all this time. I have accepted less than committment, comprimises and half measures for decades - enough is enough. I am at the point now I need to decide my future. This is the hard bit, nothing I have done has worked. It is clear that my wife does not love me, I suspect she never did. I think I was just a habit. These decisions are hard.

      Well you can read my reply to your post about not understanding. We are indeed a stupid nation right now but I still have a little hope but people have got to wake up.

      Again I don't disagree however the quicker we get it the better. We have come back before and we have been underestimated before but our attitude sucks right now and I disagree McCain is not a good choice.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I have spent the last 45 years living with depression but did not seek help until last year. I previously I did not want anyone to know about it as I believed it would hinder my career and I was ashamed of it. I admitted it to my wife first, 18 months ago,then I went to the doctor who referred me for treatment. After one year I received treatment. It did not help
