Depression

[Dons_1988]

And......
No arrangements can be made yet as the police have decided to send him to Inverness for a post mortem exam because it’s a sudden death.
Now they didn’t do that after my Dad died so I can only think there’s something I’m not being told.

I suspect either there’s an injury/injuries and they want to check pre/post mortem (could have died, fallen, hit head etc.) or he was dead for over 24 hours which contradicts what I was told by his ex and their son.
I’m getting irritated

Sorry to hear all this mate.

If you come through this without any slip ups though what an incredible achievement.

I echo this. I have already said it, but, we are all with you.

Its quite common.  When my old dear died the undertaker warned me that there are more "random" PM checks these days for various reasons (Shipman etc if they have been in hospital recently).  Most of the time it reveals nothing but is frustrating as it does hold things up. Hopefully nothing to worry about RN.

Same. When I had to go register my mother's death, the registrar mentioned that they might have a random selection for extra checks or something... forgive me a lot of that time is hazy as f**k in my mind but there was something like that and it meant I had to wait an extra day or two for the doctor's certificate. Nothing sinister though.

That is correct, registrar told me the same, when they hit the enter button on the computer it is like a lottery and it comes back telling you whether you have been unlucky enough to be selected or not. Absolute monumental pain in the arse for those selected while trying to get a funeral arranged but I guess required for the greater good.

Really sorry to hear that buddy, condolences to you and your family.

I wouldn’t read too much into it when my mother in law died despite it being obvious why they had to do one as she hadn’t been to the doctors in a fair few months.

[Raidernation]

Was dead for over 24 hours hence police involved.

Liver failure, no surprise there.

I ended up admitting myself to hospital last week because of all the shit with this, work, family and more.

I did do the right thing, I knew I was going to hit the bottle hard and not give a f**k so before I started I went and got help.

Still feel like shit, still more upset than I expected to be, but still sober and alive!

Depression is a c**t if anyone wants a chat about life,Football or anything give me a PM more than happy to have a natter.

Well done mate, I think we're all glad to hear you're still sober and doing alright, notwithstanding you feel like shit.

Well done mate. When folks say you've got to take the little victories, you did yourself an Inverness humping Celtic there.

Article on bbc sport about Robert enke 10 years on from his death.

Still find it terrifying reading and so sad. Especially that he seemingly came through his depression a few times before it eventually came back fatally.

I’d honestly say it’s made me feel better.

I tried to kill myself 7 years ago on the 12th of November. I always remembered the date for some reason.

I was in my early 20's, didn't have much going for me and was drinking quite a lot at the time which is often a recipe for disaster, especially if you are depressed already.

Partly it was because I felt that I had made too many mistakes and spurned whatever chances I had had to better myself, and I thought that I was failure and would never become anything better than a fat, lonely alcoholic. My mind was a pretty scary place looking back, when I remember the kind of things that I used to think about and all of the intrusive thoughts that I used to have most of the time.

I had a couple more suicide attempts in 2016 and 2017, but was eventually able to get the professional help that would help me to deal with my depression and get rid of 95% of the nasty stuff in my head. Life is not perfect, but I am better equipped to deal with it these days.

Today I found out that I have been accepted into university to do what I have always wanted to do.

The point of this post is that it is possible for you to get better and your situation to improve, even if it appears impossible. You are never beyond help and it is still possible to achieve anything you want.

Good for you mate. Hope the course goes well.

Good luck and all the best for the future. I was in a dark place myself recently then found out someone I previously work with had just died of cancer. They were the same age as me and it put all my problems into perspective.

Good on you mate. I think this thread alone tells us there’s a lot of people who have reached the same depths for whatever reason. But, stay alive and things can turn around and pick up.
It is possible, even if it seems impossible, for the situation to improve.

Good on you and everything you say is spot on.

Hold onto this as if and when this illness tries to get you again you always have the knowledge that you can get out. It's a c**t of a thing and it can be pretty persuasive that you have no options left.

Also the username is presumably a nod to Mr Fury. Good man, his story is absolutely brilliant. I love it.
