I'm posting as to let you know, YOUR posts helped me tremendously in the last two years.

I'm going to post to show you you do count, and people you don't even know exist have been helped, touched by you.

After I had the ILYBNILYWY in Jan 07 I went the same way as nearly everyone else on this board. We were together 20 years with two young children. By the March I was living in a house while the owners were away for three months. Like you I work at home most of the time.

One night March 07 I got drunk, kept playing my wife's and our song on the ipod, I stood at the edge of the road waiting to have the 'courage' to step infront of a lorry. I did nt, I rang my brother and broke down (this is hard to write) I'm 41 my brother rang my parents on holiday in Australia and they flew back immediately and helped me.

My point in telling you this is not for sympathy it's to show that everyone has crashed, I had / have a great career, was 'head' of the house with a wife and children but this caused me to completely breakdown and be reduced to nothing. With the help I had I am two years seperated, have a great relationship with my children and to think had I stepped out my children would be fatherless.

I know you don't have family to help you, I was lucky but I had to reach out to recieve help. Please reach out to whoever you can and let them help you whether on this board or in real life,

You don't need telling this but seeking help is strength as it shows you will not be beaten.

Take care
