Hi Mark, am 40 next year, just wanted to welcome you to the site :) You probably already know this but there's lots of ugly ..unpopular..in dead end jobs.....unlikeable.... and incapable people who think they are God's gift to mankind, compared to your brother who you say was good lookin ..popular..good job...easy going..likeable....capable who will commit suicide, so the answer seems clear, the latter have depression the former do not.

Why this is the case I don't think anyone knows but they do know it happens, any counsellor who told you you get over yourself clearly has no idea of the effect depression has on a persons mind.

when i say relationship..i mean of any sort...got no mates at all..hate goin out in public..dont go to pub...cinema.only go out when i need to....but i know while i keep my head down when i`m standing in a a queue at the supermarket i`ve got no chance..and at 40....missed out on the sorta stuff i should have been doin in my 20s and 30s.....

my younger brother who was very popular..had loads of mates...easy goin,funny guy..capable..good lookin..had a well paid job.....think he looked down on me a bit....regarded me as an embarrassment.....he took his own life 18 months ago......no reason...no warning....

makes me wonder if a guy like that does summat like that..where does that leave me..... dont know wot i want from life..never have..just bumbled along...honestly dont think i`m meant to be here....never fitted in..no good at anything..made no conection with anyone...

would have been great to have fitted in..to have contributed...but at end of day...not meant to be here and people dont like you..not much i can do....


i know this sounds like bleating...but when you cry yourself to sleep as a grown man then theres a major malfunction somewhere down the line......

Hello Mark and welcome to the forum.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your counsellor was completely out of line. Maybe it's time for you to give counselling a second chance, don't let the first time put you off trying again.
I hope you'll receive lots of support here :hug:
