    i would like to explain a few tings about my self.

    i am 37 years old and i am registed with the queensland goverment for
    having BIPOLAR DISORDER….my wife doesn,t let me tell anyone, so i have never mentioned it before to all of you….i have been on medication now for 19years( lithium at night…and anti depression tablets in the morning).
    YES…i have a wife….. and 2 beutiffull duaghters….one is 15 and other 11.
    i have been trying to get on top of my feelings lately….but have had no luck…..there has been to many times i have sat in the corner of the room
    crying my eyes out………
    i am feed up with every thing…..i have come to the conclusion that i am giveing up………i have already taken all of my decals of my car and shop last night……it seemed to have been a better idea than putting the power lead around my neck….(been there done that)…………..just amagine if my kids found me. yuk!
    I am only letting you all no this, incase i affended any one lately….if so i am very sorry.
    hey robert can you please remove any trace of me from all of the forum articals….but please leave this one up so people can see i had a problem
    and i was not just a d#ck head….thankyou again everyone.

    🙁 Johnny,

    I hope you’re only giving up making signs, and not giving up on yourself. You’re a young man with many years ahead of you and a wonderful family to help you along the way.
    I’m sure your wife and daughters would be lost without you.

    Take care of yourself and perhaps one day you might pop back in to say a quick hello. It would be nice to know you’re doing OK.

    best of luck,

    Marcella.

    Mate, what can I say.

    I value your imput here mate. I have a very good friend with Bipolar. I know what you are going thru from a friends perspective. I suffer depression myself, although I have been off medication for a while noww

    Take care mate. I don’t know what I can say other than you have friends here. Your posts were always enjoyable to read, and I personally enjoyed your enthusiasm.

    I’ll be thinking of you.

    Goodbye, and come back when you feel better.

    John, I hope you feel better soon!!

    You certainly did not come across as a d!ck head, so dont worry about that. You seem a fun guy and you certainly got involved with us all here which is great. None of your other posts are silly and I personally would like to see them remain … no need to remove anything.

    Look forward to seeing you about the place soon.

    😀

    I’m really sorry to hear this John.

    Thanks for posting and letting us know the details – it’s much better than just disappearing.

    If it is of any comfort, you may have helped someone else by making them realise that the problems they are encountering at work today, and getting all excited about, are nothing when compared to those you are experiencing and that they should calm down and takes things in perspective.

    I hope that, at some point, you feel well enough to return.

    Best of luck.

    I hope it all works out for you John.
    Can’t see what you’ve done here that’s so bad.
    My sister suffers from the same affliction, she is a very dear person.
    So I can kinda understand what you’re going through.
    Take care.
    Love…..Jill

    John, dude, if ya can find it within yerself to stick with it, then do so, to cope with bi-polar and run a business alone is a pretty big acheivment, in my part time work, i work with adults suffering the extreme end of manic depression and bi=polar disorders, so can fully understand your difficulties.

    by knowing you have the difficulties, and seeking help, you have done the right things, your family obviously cares alot too, you have nothing to be ashamed of, nor do you need to apologise for anyting posted on these forums, personally, had you not said, i would not have suspected, in my opinion you’re a top bloke !!

    all the best of luck dude.
