    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    Wow :openmouth: I wish I had read this a few years back, I would not have gotten divorced as I probably would never have gotten married! Making the decision to leave my now ex-wife was one of the toughest decisions I have ever made but we have both moved on and are happier than ever.

    Regarding pleasing everyone... I am not sure severing ties with your family is the best idea but a break from them may be. Good luck with the road ahead either way!

    Thanks for the update @RainstormZA and sorry to hear about the battle with your mom. I too find it tough at times to deal with my parents, they were raised in a different world with different expectations and different responsibilities. I try to remind myself that they just want what is best...

    You are worth it @Viper_SA, you matter, you are important, you have impact and you are valuable! It is easy to say and harder to do but don't give up the fight, chin up, eyes forward, one foot in front of the other...

    Thanks @Andre :wink: It has definitely been one of those experiences where you look back and it was worth all the stress and struggle. We are not completely done moving and getting setup but we are enjoying more and more as each day comes and goes...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    This week has been my turn to bare the brunt of the dark cloud... We moved in to our new house this last weekend which was an exciting, stressful, tiring, joyous, happy, stressful, up and down time. It has been a lot of firsts for me, my first property, my first house, my first renovation, my...

    Good for you bud :wink: I enjoy a drink every now and then but I drink far, far, far less than I used to and I find myself not wanting to drink these days. I feel far better not having a drink at times, both at the time and definitely the next day. As the saying goes... "When you drink...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    Self worth and confidence has been one of my biggest issues throughout my life and only in my mid to late thirties am I learning to put myself ahead of others when I need to but not so much that I turn in to a self absorbed, narcissistic, egotistical asshole. I have always been on the too...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    This is so true and I can fully relate, my ex in one way or another made me feel grossly inadequate no matter how hard I tried or what I did, to please and interest her. My current makes me feel loved, worthwhile, more than adequate, etc. which has made a huge difference to my life and how I...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    This is a tough situation, simply put you have little control over what others experience/think/believe/ etc., all you can do is be the best you can be and hope that they appreciate it. As for explaining yourself when someone doesn't want to listen is sometimes impossible, you can send them...
