So went to see doctor
Had a phone call from a therapist
Had a talk about all my problems
So now I have to wait to have a session
But it will be a group session with other people
What I don't understand with depression
Is one minute I am ok then next I am really down
But I guess that's the illness
Just wish I could get back to my old self
I am in Canterbury Kent with my dad as he has cancer
I was in New Zealand for 18 years
But had to come back because of dad
Been here for 12 weeks and miss my wife and daughter so.much
I keep thinking shall I stay here to support my dad
Or go home to have the support of my wife and daughter
-
So I had a call from think action
And now they are passing me on to this group
I will have to go to a meeting and then sit in a group and listen to someone
Don't know if it will help but I will try
Will do anything that will help
I am in Canterbury Kent but just come back from New Zealand
I came back from New Zealand because my dad has cancer and wanted to help with him because he hes Cancer is terminal
But I had to leave my wife and daughter in New Zealand
Have not seen them for 12 weeks
Part me wants to go back to New Zealand to be with wife and daughter for support
But I can't leave dad

Wow, that's seriously tough. Caring for an ill parent - especially something like cancer is so hard, but to do it when you've left your wife, daughter and I assume friends in NZ? Do you use things like skype?
Would your Dad go with you to NZ? Could that work?
