My mental condition is manageable and I am off anti-depression drugs.I have a loving wife and family and I'm grateful for such a close bond.

Life is still good, My condition is manageable, with good and bad days and I look forward to life, whilst staying positive.

Thank you for such a positive message! It's this positive attitude which gets us through the bad times. It's good to concentrate on that which is good in our lives, and a loving family is No 1!

Oh my goodness - you've certainly had more than your fair share! Happy that you are feeling positive. Life is too short to worry about things we cannot change and worrying stops you enjoying the good stuff. Xx

Hi garethgti sending you a hug x Good for you getting off the antidepressants, useful for a short term crutch but much better to balance your mind and mood with the joy of life and all it offers as you seem to have done (yes, having a loving partner makes a huge difference, we are lucky).

Thankyou for sharing your positivity. Best wishes to you going forward x
