To be honest this is the first post in years that I have made on a forum such as this so if I blunder forgive me please.

I am a 76yr old man who is ageing with a load of baggage, I have a friend called Arthur, his second name is Itus, and I have various other problems one of which is Depression. I have carried the black dog on my shoulder since Noah Came out of his Ark and I have been in some very very dark places and to be honest I still go there and I do not think for one minute that people know what it's like until you wear a person like mine shoes. I have been treated for years and years and yet some times I still wish that I did not wake up in the morning and here I am 76 years old. Do you know writing this is bringing me to tears, so forgive me please. So if there is anybody out there who could make an old man like me smile I would be grateful.

Best wishes, RolandKi
