Feeling very forgotten about tonight I think.
Like its previously been said - you are always going to be sodbaby's dad. You could always argue to have her every weekend or every other and holidays. She's going to remember very little of being that age anyway. It's about quality time rather than quantity anyway!
Is there anyone that can go and stay with you? Maybe that would help?
She won't forget you because I know E wouldn't let that happen. I know it's hurtful that she's been saying things to other people but if they know you they can make their own judgements. Anyone can see how much you adore that wee girl and if they can't then they're stupid.
Focus on you right now. Not what is being said to other people. I know because you've said so that you understand that you're difficult to live with - it being said to other people isn't cool, but maybe it's the kick start you need to really start working on the reasons for that. You shouldn't care what they think, but that's easier said than done and sometimes, caring can be the motivation to change. I know I rarely consider my negative traits to be worth working on because I think I'm useless anyway, but as soon as someone else thinks it? Nope! Gotta stop them thinking badly of me!
This is rambly. Sorry. TL;DR I'm gonna come visit. Chin up. You know I'm always always available to chat. Always.
Btw, what is this therapy-knit you speak of franki?
Knitting. Just knitting. It's excellent.
Fiend and I also planning a jolly to the North-East. It's just too pleasant and unflooded down here
Ooooh. Let me know when you're going and I'll try and arrange something at the same time?
Also yes: just knitting. It's the best therapy I've experienced.
Will do, Picc got me on cross-stitch, it's almost as good.
It's probably not any comfort to you, but what you're going through us entirely normal and someone with no history of depression in the same place would be struggling just like you are. So don't add to your problems by beating yourself up or not being able to cope. You're doing better than you think.
I've never met you in person, but I'm pretty sure you'll find another partner. Not overnight, these things take time - but I'm not writing off my chances of ever getting a man so you can't cross off yours of getting a girl.

Coping is the first step, and one of the hardest. xx
It will get better. Everything will be ok again xxx
I know how it feels to really struggle to get your head of the pillow. But think of all the little things that seemed major as you were going through them and now look back and they seem tiny don't they? I promise you it's hard but it's when you go through times like this that you really develop who you are
agree with SCC.
Thinking of you AR, still think you're super duper
Aye.
