Depression and lorry driving

neilp1982:

BIG AW:
Without tying to sound a hard arse ur not depressed your love sick and to say all this on a lorry drivers forum is asking for the micky take [zb] me surly you have friends and family you could talk to first ,and before you all jump on the "you don’t know what its like " till it happens to you ive been there and done it for a damm site better reason than my girlfriend [zb] off half way round the world proper depression puts you in a world of utter darkness which one lad as said you cant get out of bed in the morning nevermind go to work because you don’t give a [zb] about anything, sorry for your lass [zb] off but this site is the last place to ask advice on something as serious as depression if your that unhappy you would do anything to be with her ,sorry mate get a [zb] grip.

With the greatest of respect, [zb]. Depression is depression, we all deal with it in different ways, some can’t get out of bed in the morning, some consider taking their own life, some just have days/weeks where they want to be left alone. I’ve been there, my job cost me my relationship also, just because the dude doesn’t have the more extreme side of depression doesn’t mean he isn’t depressed.

Proper depression my arse.

Back to the OP, sorry to hear it m8, been there myself, lost my partner because of my job, speak to your GP, see what happens from there, may give you counselling also, no matter what happens, all the best and I hope you can either work something out or get yourself right.

How can you lose a relationship thru a job? if the relationship is right a job won’t matter .
