No, just juicing Pete, great blog.
I posted a few Debbie Downer posts in the cupboard when my bro died in November.
It actually made me feel mildly better at the time.
Great idea.
:(
I often got depressed at times in my 20's, what worked for me was completely stripping down naked and looking in the mirror and being honest with myself, most men would kill for my gift from god! That thought comforted me and pushed me to use my gifts to the best of my ability for the rest of mankind.
...was it for mankind or kind men?
King sized rash?
Not only with depression by all facets of ones life, we all have different make ups. If alcohol is a known downer for you Pete as it is with many who suffer with depression best to avoid the drink, or drink at the level that best suits your mental health and not comparable to what others do. With depression you need to be aware of avoiding the things you know that contribute further to bringing on the "black dog" with the things that are actually in your control. For those suffering unfortunately at times it is out of their control and no fault of their own.
I'm sorry to hear about what your dad has been going through, but he is still here and tomorrow is another opportunity for him turn things around. I hope he is seeking some professional help.
Seriously these sites are specific helping deal with depression.

Good Blog PETE.
I have lost a few friends to depression related suicide. Looking back - on the surface they all had :
The Black dog doesnt discriminate who it targets. I have seen a lot of sad things in my life, and trying to answer a basic question always gets me . That question always involves the word WHY ? No winners, no answers, no turning back. The thing I have learnt in my life is that EVERYONE has something to say if you listen to them. EVERYONE has something to contribute if you give them the opportunity. Talk to your mates, take to your kids, listen to them and look for the signs. It is only in tragedy that the signs appear so obvious. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but GUILT and INACTION will haunt you for the rest of your days.
If people treat this courageous blog with ridicule then that is disappointing. We all don't live perfect lives, we are all looking for something. Share your thoughts people - it costs nothing and you never know what impact it may have on someones life.
Cheers.... Life is not a practice run or trial match. It is the main event.
Absolutely PT, well said.
As the mother of sons I hope the day arrives soon, that men realize it's o.k to speak openly and honestly about their feelings,to someone. It only takes that one someone to sometimes change things around for another.
Good on you Pete for speaking up.
