    Unhappy New to here. Hi everybody.

    Hi Everybody.
    I’m David. 44 years of age. Been really struggling with depression for the last year. So my story is my 21 year relationship/marriage came to an unexpected end beginning of this year. I had to move out of our beautiful marital home and start up on my own. We have a 6 year old daughter that I do have good access too but I just can’t get over the fact we have split. I am still madly in love with my wife and would literally do anything to get her back but there has been a long list of things that stood in the way this year. I feel so desperate and often alone that I have considered ending it all on many occasions. I miss my old life so much that I literally think about it everyday. It’s consuming my life and my mental health is at an all time low. I really try to continue to lead some form of life through work and seeing friends And I always make sure my daughter has the best time with me as we are best friends but just feel like my heart has been shattered into a billion pieces and I’m never going to recover from it. Thanks for reading. David.

    Hi David.
    Welcome to dwd.
    I'm so sorry for your marriage break up but glad you have good access to keeping a relationship with your daughter.
    Do you have friends/family who you can be honest with about how you are feeling? Have you spoken to your GP.?
    It is no wonder you are feeling low and that your world has collapsed.
    I know it doesn't feel like it but you can get through this. I cant promise your life will be the same as before but you can rebuild a future for you and your daughter to enjoy, laugh together and room to heal.

    Hi David, lovely to meet you. Sorry to hear about your relationship. Have you thought about getting some professional help through an organisation such as RELATE?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hi David and welcome. I’m so sorry to hear about your marriage breaking up . Hunni, it’s a bereavement and you’ll probably still be grieving - particularly as covid has made it harder to be with family and friends, and access support. As Suzi says, Relate is great and really helped me when I went through my marriage falling apart.
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi and welcome
    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

    Hi David and welcome. I'm really sorry to hear that. Your daughter is really lucky to have such a good father who cares for her even at very hard times! This shows that you're very strong and that you will get through this, even better with some help as Suzi mentioned
