Tragic situation, can’t argue, I’ve 2 lads myself of similar age.
but at the risk of getting a [zb] storm chucked at me on here…2 young kids left behind ?
Wtf was going through his head.
Enough said I reckon, my opinion.
I know where you’re coming from mate. Back in the early 80’s my sisters best friends dad took the shot gun into a barn on the family farm and blew his brains out. Even as a kid myself I remember thinking how selfish he was for doing that to his own kids. I now understand how desperate these people must be that rational thought deserts them but ffs get help before it gets to that stage surely■■?
Very sad for the family. R.I.P.

Hopefully you will never have even the slightest understanding of what was going through his head, The only people who can really understand it are those that have been there.
Forget all about normal rational thought, it doesn’t play a part.
Once deep depression sets in chemical imbalances in the brain become semi-permanent and only certain medications can address the imbalance, the bodies (brains) own mechanisms for adjusting the imbalance are past working.
In the darkest of depressions no way out can be seen, help isn’t sought because it would be pointless. Only one solution can be seen, and it is not a solution taken lightly or easily.

It’s always amazed me that 100% of people can unquestioningly accept that people have heart, kidney, liver, lung or whatever medical problems yet most fail to comprehend that the organ that resides in the skull is just as susceptible to medical problems too, and some will then even go on to say “get yourself over it”, “sort yourself out” or (ironically) “it’s all in your head”…
We are an extremely complex organism and the brain is the most complicated organ within that organism, hardly any surprise then that some can (for want of a better word) malfunction, how many people have said of cars/trucks, “the more complicated they make them the more likely they seem to go wrong!”

You are so right I was in that dark place over 20yrs ago and nearly ended it. Your brain doesnt work right when it gets that bad . Its not weak to ask for help.
RIP driver my thoughts are with your family.
Agency driver, Scott, was found on the east lancs near Haydock. Appeals were put out by the agency and the company and he was spotted by another driver who called the police. He’d been missing for less than 24 hours and was not an older guy but a young 'Un in his 20s. He was actually 26, he leaves behind 2 young children.The original posts were removed by the agency and company as soon as he was found.
There’s no media reports as of yet. Nothing seen anything in any local press. I think nothing will be reported until after the inquest.
Side effects of some very common medicines can cause all kinds of psychological problems…I have recently experienced this and had two very close moments week before last, My GP confirmed this to me this week!
I have to say though, I am somewhat concerned by the amount of young people that seem to be taking their own lives at the moment, there is something badly wrong with society.

RIP for this poor fellow though.
Although I am no expert I feel that social media, as they call it, has something to do with it. People read stories about what other people supposedly have and may feel inadequate because they haven’t achieved the same. Much of what is put on these sites is probably rubbish because there is no obligation to tell the truth. In my book you can only achieve so much and as long as you have done your best then you should try and accept that and make the most of what you have attained.

Bang on, I have a friend who earns 100K a year and he felt demoralised and inadequate by posts on FB, so he took himself off it…I have just gone on it again, just to see how it is now, but socail media is not real, or it shouldn`t be, the authorities have made it real by taking action on posts and threads made by some.
The off button is always nearby, but I guess addiction is strong in some.
I always thought I was happy to die, but recent experiences have changed that, it was terrifying beyond belief and now I am taking stock of my life once again, I wasn`t expecting that!
Agree with Waddy640 I’m always thinking I’ve underachieved/lowering myself in the crappy job I do compared even to other lorry drivers I know. I’m stuck driving a ■■■■■■ ancient Daf roro in a ■■■■■■ job where if there aren’t any bins I have to have to help pick and sort rubbish in the transfer yard. Hate it with a passion, hate coming home dusty sweaty and coughing up dust and God knows what else. The great wages don’t even compensate for it. I’m off this coming week and I cleared my cab yesterday in the hope I can find another job online before I go back. I even get depressed when I check Indeed and find no decent jobs local to me.

The point is, are those people who have much more than us any happier? Of course not because they will always want more and will never be satisfied with what they have got.
I seem to remember an interview with the first UK millionaire years ago and when asked what he intended doing next? his reply was “make my next million” and so it goes on.
I think social media has a part to play too. At one point the pressure was on the girls to look good and the boys to get money, now it seems both genders (others are available…), have to good looking, rich and constantly having fun.
Human beings like to belong to tribes. When you are young of course you are going to want to be part of the cool, good looking, rich tribe. You haven’t learnt that integrity beats shallowness, that a kind heart in a less than fantastic body that stands by you when you are ill and broke is worth more than a vacuous model like partner. That money can’t bring you happiness if you can’t make peace with yourself.
Despite the knackered knees, I think being in your 50s has a lot going for it.

i dont imagine that the man with 2 million quid is much happier than the man with 1 million.■■
money is everything.
money is power.
no matter what scenario your problem is,if anything can lessen it or remove it,then money can.
for example,if poor wee kylie didnt have millions of cash,then she wouldnt have got the specialist medical treatment she got,and would be poor wee dead kylie years ago. if anything can remove or lessen your impending grief or doom,then money can.
