Firstly, that's what alcohol is for.....
Secondly, I have the opposite problem. I know I don't talk as much as I should, or share as much as I could. But I don't think my family have any idea what it is what I'm going through. It's more isolating, than sobering.

hello and good morning.
A very dear friend led me to this thread and I have been finding so much comfort in reading all the shares here. Thank you. What a truly amazing community.
First of all let me say, though I do have my demons and battles with depression and thoughts of suicide, PTSD from a former husband abusing and stalking me, my oldest son being viciously beaten and random days where it is hard to get out of bed, the worst thing I have had to go through is watching my youngest own son battle the same demons without having lived the same background as I had. He is currently 17 and as far as I know has tried to commit suicide 3 times. In over 2 years, we have seen numerous psychiatrists and counselors and each time given a different diagnoses, different medication but just when things start to get comfortable, they inevitably move on to another office and we start the process over again. They have finally diagnosed him as bipolar with ADD. His father side has a very long history of depression through the family and several suicides. I can't tell you the fear of waking up every morning wondering if your child has made it through the night. It may be a part of my own insomnia as I wake several time usually with a creative idea but also to peek in on him. The only comfort he finds is in music. He is currently playing 5 instruments and wants to pursue it as a path. I have found this tattoo design that I will be getting for him. I hope you enjoy as well.

Thanks, sweetie...what do you think??
@ Patokl...yes I am deliberately changing the subject. this is a nice forum where we all come for support, not a fucking competition on who may or may not have had it worse. Stop trying to make an issue out of something you have admitted you misinterpreted.

That wasn't how I meant the question.
From what little I know about these things - women cry for help and men take care of business (sweeping generalisation I know).
In all of the stories that I read under this topic (3 or so pages, so not everything) - the main contributing factor to the pain was a man. It seems to be that women create and men destroy.
Therefore - are men just a bunch of cunts?
(and I even allowed to use that word in a derogatory fashion?)
