    Dear, dear Gary, please do not ever think like that, even though it seems bad at the moment, it really, truly is not the end of the world...

    Your family love and need you xx I took an overdose twice.. and the worry I put my family through was unbearable... you really need to try to draw a line under this, you are IN NO WAY A BAD PERSON..... YOU CAN START AGAIN...you really need to have some counselling to help you realize that you mAde a mistake, you have already paid for this by losing your job. You cannot keep paying for the rest of your life..

    Please, most importantly,!! You must go and see your GP and tell them just how bad you are feeling,, it must break your families heart to see you so sad.. I so, so feel for you, but it will get better.. I thought just like you , but it did get better.. please get some more help, we are all behind you and your family... sincere good WISHES to you, Deirdre xxx

    Unfortunately the antidepressants might make you feel more agitated for a week or so.

    It is very important to go back to the GP and tell them about your thoughts.

    You might not feel it at the moment, but your family love you and can't do without you.

    Sometimes it feels like there is no way out, but you sound at your lowest point, it won't get any worse, and you must try to believe that over time things will get better, hopefully the effects of the tablets will soon help, but give it a few days.

    Hi Gary , how are you feeling today? I hope that you managed to get some sleep xx ...... try to think that TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE a whole new starting point, the past has gone and all the worry in the world won't change that..xx. I realize that this may sound impossible at the moment, but you have to believe in yourself, as I am sure that your loving family do...

    It is very hard to forget ( as I know ) just try small steps at first, perhaps a nice walk in the sunshine... look on the jobcentre websites... is there any occupation or training that you have always longed to try? Maybe now would be a good time to have a go.... please let us know how you are GARY, I was thinking about you all evening as I was in the same situation three times... you must forgive yourself, all you wanted was the best for your family... I hope sincerely that you find some peace of mind in the very near future... please take care of yourself, warmest wishes to you Gary, you are still in our thoughts...xx

    Sorry to hear of your situation Gary. I read you have palpitations and tingling in your legs,I am almost certain that these are symptoms of the anxiety you are feeling about life and are not life threatening. Have you tried relaxation techniques and breathing exercises?They really help.

    Gary , I'm 54 years old and experiencing the same thing . The axe hasn't fallen yet but I'm expecting it and I'm a ruin. I have been seeking the help of God and went to church with my family today. I know, fox hole Christian! It has helped some. I've made yet another vow to change my life. I've been feeling the same as you . Thanks for your story and please hang in there

    I am so sorry Gary. Being only 50, that is sad. I pray for you. I just turned 54. In good health, but just lost my job for no reason. The At Will law in Texas. It sucks. 

    I was with the same company for 14 years. A manager too. Lost all of my stock. 26 interviews later, no job offers. I feel like God has absolutely no plans for me. I want to die sometimes. However, after hearing your situation, I'm more concerned about your health. Best of luck. And always know, God is there........Somewhere. Blessings to you.
