Hi there... I was diagnosed with depression about 5 or 6 years ago when my relationship ended with my wife putting a restraining order on me and taking my 5 year old daughter, which I ve never seen again.. I breached the restraining order by texting her and asking her where my daughter was, and ended up doing 6 months jail because of it... Lost my business and my houses and basicly my whole life was shattered... Ok... that s a bit of history, and I ve tried to move on... My question is this.... Every time I see something on TV that s sad, I start crying... This never used to happen before.. A natural disaster on the news, someone getting bashed, a puppy getting ran over... Doesn t matter what it is, my eyes start watering and tears start rolling down my face... Is this still all part of depression? How and when is this going to stop.. I get emotional over anything... Not so much as anyone knows or my girlfriend notices or anything, but its not normal, I know that... I m 47 years old, have heaps of tattoo s and ride a Harley, so I m not a wimpy type of bloke...(or I never used to be anyways).. But now I back down from confrontation, have very little interest in much at all, and don t really care about much at all these days... (which is very unlike how I was pre 2007.. Is this it for me? Am I going to be like this for the rest of my life? Or is there something I can do about it? They say time heals all wounds, but its been 6 years now, and although I m 500% better than what I was, I m still miles away from being happy, or even taking an interest in anything.. I ve been suicidal before, and I know how stupid those thoughts are, but after 6 years of this shit, with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight, are these stupid thoughts actually stupid? I had the best life on the planet up until 40 years old, so I m kinda of the opinion that, that will do me, and its like I feel that its time to bail out... Pretty deep aye... Anyways... Have you got any advice?
