Anxiety as know makes you feel down and in turns lead to depression and feeling extremely tired and exhausted all the time.

Something has obviously happened to make you think so negatively. Sometimes we can all look back to our past which for many of us when we were in our prime.

I have been very depressed in my life having suffered from epilepsy for yonks, but the depression really kicked in when I lost my darling wife Lorna and plummeted to the bottom where I remained for a very long time.

I took myself to a counsellor and after a period of analysing myself I realised that negative thoughts only took me down and when you are down the only other way is up.

My advice to you is to put your kettle on for a delicious cuppa, get yourself ready (if you are not already) and simply take yourself out look at life in a more Positive way. Neither of us have lost our sight, we are not deaf or dumb and we still have a good old brain box. We are not on a Zimmer frame or indeed using a wheelchair. We are so, so lucky my friend.

No more feeling sorry for ourselves. Think Positive thoughts all the time. Positive thoughts take us up whereas negative thoughts always take us down.

So come on and start enjoying life again,

Regards

Richard

From one single Mum to another, Happy stand in for Father Day. It is a very tough job being a parent at the best of times. Trying to be both Mum and Dad is like walking a tightrope, not knowing whether you should be hugging them or grounding them. Hopefully they appreciate you all the same, and I hope you have a great day tomorrow.

Sorry for your loss, and for assuming you were referring to yourself in your post. I hope your Mum is ok, and that she is not finding today too difficult. It must be hard on her, not having your Dad around to enjoy the day, as well as hard on you missing him.
