This is going to take time to explain. First I want to express that, although I only know them from these forums, I've met some great characters here.
OK on with it then. I hope this doesn't sound selfish but I couldn't get away from me at the time. I went on a downward spiral recently. I said something on these forums in vague hope that someone could offer some words. I feel embarrassed but I felt so desperate. I've been experiencing really bad insomnia and using alcohol to try and counter it. That combined with depression doesn't mix well. Then feeling shame and not having a job staying up watching programmes a bout people like myself 'sponging' off the state. I just felt like a fucking hindrance. A useless piece of pond stuff. A leech sucking the working people dry of their taxes. A waste of oxygen. I'd had enough.
(I'm not finding this easy to say but it's an explanation, not a sob story)
Last week some cops came to my flat and explained that someone who was an internet contact was concerned about me. I have an idea who it could be although they got the country of that person wrong as well as saying my IP address was in the USA but they're overworked and it's beside the point. Thank you, you know who you are. I was taken to hospital for an assessment despite telling them I was just a bit low. I'm glad that happened though. The cops were good ones. I just didn't want to bother anyone any more.
A member of Mobius also posted on my FaceBook wall. I couldn't read it because I felt ashamed at getting so low and looking so weak but to that person, 'Cheers'
Sorry to go on about myself but I think I pissed some people off and they deserve an explanation.
There are good days so brace yourselves
