Re: Depression
I don't know the regs in England but in Scotland you can have up to 50 birds without needed much, if any, paperwork.
Have you a pond or will you have to make one?

Re: Depression
We’ve got a couple of runners and 3 peking.
To be fair they were good layers and I like the rich duck eggs, they’re old now and no longer laying, but still bloody messy and noisy.
Our chickens are great though and are tame, rescue hens that I paid £3 each for. We used to have a variety of different breeds, but they’ve all died of old age and now Melton Market doesn’t do fur and feather auctions anymore I doubt I’ll go looking for other breeds again.

Re: Depression
Wife and workmate went to a Vincent van gough exhibition Saturday . They have known each other for many years.
Wife’s w/mate is late 50’s, divorced, has a daughter, mid 20’s, the daughter has a good job, has her own house. No need for any outside help for any financial assistance.
Wife’s work mate says to my wife..... what’s the fucking point of living? If I didn’t have a daughter I’d fucking end it.
My wife’s mate is ok money wise. She doesn’t want to meet up with friends once a week/month
It’s a cluster fuck out there

I've had similar thoughts this past few weeks. Just had a decent payrise at work, finally settling into the new house, but I'm rock bottom and struggling. It's a sh1tshow alright.

Re: Depression
Literally the ONLY reason I've made it through the last few years is because I've had friends make that ultimate & final decision and the mess that is left behind for family and also for friends is horrible
If I chose that route it wouldn't be anyone fault, but enough of my friends think the way I do and would beat themselves up about 'not being there', 'not seeing and preventing' etc that I couldn't do that to them.
I've been in the "friend that could (probably not but maybe) have seen and helped" place too many times, so won't put anyone else in that place, it sucks.
I have no close family (close biologically but not emotionally) so whilst there'd be an effect, I can't see it lasting long. But I know I have friends that would be devastated. So, I have kept on keeping on for that reason. Tough, but, for me, especially now I have made more friends out here, it's turning out to be worth it
Hugs to you and @Wscad xx

Re: Depression
Well, it's funny you should mention friends. I had a chat with Hannah (my gf) last night about this as she had been let down by a friend who was going to help her get Glastonbury tickets. She was really upset that she felt like an outsider. Anyway, I have said to her a few times over the years that it is so hard to make friends now. I was very lucky that my circle of friends from home are still my closest friends, even thought I haven't lived at home for 8 years. I've known all of them for 20+ years. I don't have any friends here in England. I have a few people I have met through my hobbies, such as here, and a few through MTB'ing. But I don't have any mates who I can call on, chat crap together, go for a beer, a walk, or whatever. And the sad thing is, I don't think I ever will. It gets incredibly lonely as times, even more so in winter which is one of the reasons I always struggle from this time of year on.

Re: Depression
TBH mate, i don't think it's that uncommon in society now, esepcially with virtual worlds playing a factor as much as they do. So 'we' need to make an effort, be the person who pushes the friendships etc.. It's hard, but sometimes it's got to be on you to try and make it happen.tricol wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 9:41 am Well, it's funny you should mention friends.

Re: Depression
I think feeling alone and nowhere to turn to talk is probably the driving factor behind lots of depression.
I originally started this thread when I was feeling that way, it’s becoming apparent that it’s very common.
I’m always happy to listen if anyone needs an ear, just drop me a pm and I’ll gladly provide my number and make time.

Re: Depression
I don't think that is anomalous situation these days - i have lived at 27 different addresses and 3 countries since i was 18. I have never had the "mates from school" thing - as I never really went back to Solihull. You acquire people as you go through life, hobbies, work, neighbours etc. But boy, do you have to make an effort. For some (like my wife) that comes easily. For others (me) it doesn'tweeksy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 9:55 amTBH mate, i don't think it's that uncommon in society now, esepcially with virtual worlds playing a factor as much as they do.

Re: Depression
^^ This ^^
I've lived in Sheffield for 22 years and worked there for 20 of them, and I don't have any friends here. All my friends are back in Stafford. Once you get past a certain age it becomes quite difficult to make new friends.

Re: Depression
I'm not sure i actually agree, it's easy to make new friends... Assuming both of the people involved want to. However we reach a time and age and life where most of us don't actually want to make new friends, which then as a by-product makes it hard..mangocrazy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 1:24 pm Once you get past a certain age it becomes quite difficult to make new friends.
Mrs Weeksy is someone who loves to make friends and build relationships and she does it really well. Sadly, not always do the other people involved go out of their way to do so.
