The last 6 weeks have been overwhelming. I will briefly provide some information.4 friends and family members have passed away in the last 6 weeks. This week I learned of my friend of almost 40 years has 6 months to live. My children from my first marriage want nothing to do with me. My father will not take care of himself physically and will not quit drinking.

At the same time, I am blessed with a wonderful wife and friend. She has been supportive of my bi-polar depression and other health issues.

I just feel overwhelmed and alone as I process my feelings. Anger, sadness, being numb, tuning out friends and the rest of the world. My job is very stressful this time of year. I did write downs some thoughts and feelings.

Not sure what I am looking here for. Maybe a thought or two that has helped.

Thank you

Hi GM Akehurst....  Sounds like you have a good reason to be depressed..... most of us on here are distraunt in losing a loved one... for me it was my son of 14 years.  I came on after 2 1/2 years of feeling alone in my emotions... it has helped to chat with people who are in the same boat... hope it helps you too.
