I think one scary thing is that any 1 can very much lead to a dominoe affect causing many others on the list...You are a very lucky person to have never suffered first hand...any of them...Granted..living on council estate is bit out of place maybe

Please let's not wallow in self-pity. Previous generations did not do this naval gazing, yet they had far worse things to deal with. I have sympathy with (and have known many) people who suffer depression and anxiety, but self-control is everything. Depression is part of being human - it exists to inform you of what is lacking. With the right methods of self-control a man can live quite comfortably in the worst of circumstances.

Have you ever thought of becoming a counsellor Andy?
