It is, and that's called banter.....

 

Well done on getting back on your feet, what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger.

 

Sorry, I wondered if it was banter but wrongly decided you were taking the piss, was a little touchy, I apologise ha ha. Thanks for the reply mate.

Hi Nev,

Although I don't know you just want to say well done and keep up with the positivity mate there's always something be it big or small that if you focus on the positives it can carry us through the rough times.

Wish you all the best in the future.

Peace

Phil

Welcome back after what sounds like a long heartbreaking journey to a better place.

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. I went through a bad patch bud. I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder a few years ago and...well...I lost everything around that time. I split with my partner of 12 years, she took my 10 year old daughter with her n moved 70 miles away. My sweet fledgling business; EXPERT TREE CARE Ltd was wound down, my business partner developed bowl cancer n had to pull out, I couldn't raise funds to keep it going and in all honesty I was ill and not in control. I was struggling to accept the diagnosis and as a result of cycling acceptance and denial only took my meds sporadically which actually compounded the problem and triggered huge manic n depressive episodes. My previous employer took me back on straight away as a Foreman but eventually, as I slid deeper into my illness, I gave my employer such a headache for such a long time that in the end it was only due to my skill at my job that I managed to hang on to my job. Eventually my foreman position was given to another lad, I missed out on opportunity after opportunity that was always intended for me...and that made me worse. In the end I saw a job on arbjobs in Jersey n decided to just fly far away and rediscover myself, leave everything I knew behind and start from scratch. Best move I ever made. I am well, healthy and sorting myself out. I posted a comment on predators post on depression in general chat. Check it out. Should give you insight into what's been going on with me in recent years. Anyway, how are you? N thanks for the reply. Cheers mate, Chris.

 

That's some horrible roller coaster!

 

Glad to hear your on the up.

 

Ian
