i went to bed early tonight feeling sorry for my self, but come midnight i was awake waiting for TRM to finish watching tv, now i am awake not sure do i still feel sorry for my self or what, so i got up to look around pc, i also started using facebook more activly reacently
this is where my post is going, my brother and me havent had a lot to do with each other over the years, but he is still my only sibling left, well tonight i see his status msg ''cant do it any more , bye '' so i left a msg bk whats up, he doesnt seem to be around, i learnt reacently his marrage came to a end and i now he drinks a lot so i left him a msg ''i read your status and was a bit concerned, not sure what you are refering to, but i hope it isnt what i felt back in summer of 05, i couldnt carry on any more, i did some stupid stuff took a load of meds after a night shift luckly TRM found me in time, i spent the day in hospatial didnt know what to do, all i wanted was to be with dad, i told you the other day i suffer from depression it runs in the family apparantly mum sufered with it bad, a lot has happened to us in our lives we all handle it diferant, at the time i didnt want anybody to tell you as we dont seem to have much to do with each other i didnt know what your reaction would be, only person i asked to see was aunt ????? strange after all the ppl i know i asked for her maybe it was the link to dad, she reminded me about growing up with no mum and would i wish that on my own children so i promised i wouldnt do that to my children, times have been hard fighting against this but i am slowly moving on, i stlll often have thoughts that would be a lot easier than fighting this life, i have now been taking meds since march 05, so i hope this isnt what you are refering to its not the answer love your sister kathy xxxxxx'' edited it for pc

I think that you wrote a good message, it shows that you care and that you understand some of the emotions that he may be dealing with at this time.

((Katheryn)))) gimmeice is right, youve a caring and thoughtful message to your brother.. i know how it feels to be very concerned and feel anxious about what steps to take, have taken.. i believe it is your spirit of caring and kindness that shows you the way to do the healthiest and most loving things for you and those you love... you have a remarkable spirit to never give up and always have hope and to always give an extra measure of love in your efforts and help to us all...

(((((kathy))))))))))))))))))))) You are such a good person. I know how hard it was for you to contact him. That msg would have worryed me too.
You did the right thing being concerned. Being concerned shows love..... I am proud of you for telling him what you have been threw. He forsure needs to know the family back ground. Hopefully in time he will learn that keeping things behind closed doors just hurts more...hurts him and everyone around him......... You are such a good person And (you matter))))))))) so very much please keep fighting for you , your sister loves you very much Muffy

Kathryn I agree that you did the right thing in sending him a message.
Maybe you should encourage him to get help for his depression since it runs in the family. I hope everything turns out ok. -Soph

i am not sure it wasnt just the drink talking, i dont know him very well now, only had contact this last week or so, but last night i decided to offer a place to go for christmas if he was to be on his own, i had a msg bk today, he lives were we grew up and its a very sociable village were everyone nows everyone else, he replied that all the single ppl get togeather for food and drink, he only has christmas eve and day off but he said he would try to get to see me, i am not hiolding out to much hope
also its would be our dads b/day on the 17th and he has been gone now 21yrs, and mums b/day the 1st jan though shes been gone 40yrs brothers b/day would be also towards end of jan and he has been gone 15yrs so its not the best time of year for either of us,
