People have to said to me publish the old words.

These is written from a time when I had worked virtually non-stop for 8 years, gone through an
exhausting 2 year project, 3 bouts of food poisoning and learned my mother would slowly lose her mind over the next 6 years and die.

I drank over a £1000 of red wine during this time.

For those of you who are suffering depression I am publishing the rants from those times, so you can
feel you are not alone and there is still life at the end of the tunnel.

******************************************************************************
In darkest thought
In deepest night
Keep your faith
Dont give up the fight

Believe in yourself
There is nothing else
Fight the fight

If you know it's right

When humiliation is your drink
And you can't fight back
No matter what you think

Walk away
Come back some day
And make them understand

When you win
It tastes just sweet
It maybe hell
But you've got them beat

Sure
throw yourself into the well
Let the storm surround your head
Let the ringing drive you down
But dont give up

Keep your feet on the ground
And then

Your world will open

Thanks Lee

It actually cut up me up a bit to publish these, but I thought others might be going through as I did and it was worth it for that

Dave,
   I'm so glad you found it in yourself to share this.  Your words are invaluable with wisdom.  I'd like to keep this if you don't mind.  I felt the smallest of tear begin to well up in my eye as I read it, and then brushed it aside.  It is very potent.  I would imagine that most have a need for a read like this now and then.  It was very kind of you to think of us.
               Sadie

Dave,
  Whoops!  It's just me again.  I forgot to mark the part that says "to the library".
We're off and running now.
