One small step for a man, one giant leap for his mental health

Sorry for the terrible miss-quote.

First of all something about how I regard my job and myself - I regard myself as a professional person doing a job that I love with dedication, enthusiasm and with a passion, It was a moment of great despair when I learnt of the stbx's immenant departure and being sent home from work being unable to do the job I loved so much. It was the correct decision as I would have been unable to continue.

Today was the first day back, it was great, my self esteem returned, my passion returned, I was wanted for

This blogging seems to be very therapeutic. I was really encouraged by the three replies to my first blog, SOMEONE OUT THERE CARES. I would like to reply to the people who commented below

Thanks for the comments, I am sure that you are correct in that the emotions one experiences come in different orders for different people, sorry to hear that you are having to cope with loss at the moment, loss is a difficult emotion to deal with as there does not appear any way to channel the emotion into something / somewhere positive. I will certainly join chat, although I often have difficulties

I started this blog as my profile, initially I felt too shy to post it, but having reviewed it I thought it would really be better as a blog
