Beyond Blue

[Tim754]

Thanks to all that have emailed or messaged me about my apparent lack of posting lately. Well I have discovered that ... even men that love old MXers Trailies sidecars and speedway... can suffer the lows and highs of depression and it is not comfortable at all. Cheers and thanks again Tim754

Keep plodding Tim.
Been there, still dealing with that.

Hi Tim,
          Keep your chin up, don't be backward in seeking profesional help if you are having trouble getting out of the hole. Remember youv'e got a heap of people here who may have never met you but really care for you and all our VMX brothers.

Cheers
Stewart

I've sent you a PM Tim...Best wishes mate.

Hi Tim. You're right, just because we are blokes doing manly things, it doesn't stop us from being followed by the Black Dog.
The fantastic thing here is that you have recognised the problem - so many NEVER realise that they have depression and even worse, fail to seek professional help.
I applaud you in coming out and letting us know, because that is one of the most difficult tasks to perform.
"Love Life"

Tony.

Hey Tim. Know how you feel. I've been there. I found working on the bikes and talking with good mates helped me get through it all.I know it seems to last forever but hang in there this is one race you can win. Darcy #674

Yair Tim,
           Oldstuff has a handle on it exactly.    I've been there, and it's surprising the number of blokes our age who own a black dog.      In my case it was a combination of a lot of different things but it is definitely reversible if you keep talking to mates and keep chipping away.
           I'm not a fan of medication of any sort so have developed a lot of simple, home grown tricks.    If you thought it might help, please drop me a PM.

Take good care of yourself old soldier, I'm sure everyone on this Forum ( yes mate, over 1100 of them ), is wanting you back on top and back ' on yer bike ' again.    .

Hey Tim-
Did you have a good week..
Hope that Holden one tonner is going ok and ready to transport a few items 
cheers

[Tim754]

 Alison A very good week here, did seek Pro help awhile ago and the black dog is being corralled and caged! And oh boy the amount of VMX friends that have sent personal messages to me is a healthy tonic of huge proportions   I have two one ton trays I am fiddling with , a HZ 6 cylinder to be finished and used soon hopefully and an earlier model  V8 with an extra lazy axle to make it a 6 wheeler. Pushrods ,carbies, iron heads, stuff all plastic covers and no bloody computers what a joy to tinker with!!!! Cheers to you sidecar angel Alison  Tim

Good stuff Tim. There's nothing as therapeutic as getting stuck into a good meaty old Holden. Take it one day at a time old mate and you'll come out the other end a happier and more enriched person.

 i'm picking up my one tonner hj this arvo from my mate merv ship who is touching it up ready to sell. unfortunately my vs waggon transmission just started making a noise like a million quid so i have to sell the ute now to pay for a reco trans. its amazing how much s*** can happen in one month, washing machine stopped, drier died, half price special 6 days away up the coast supplier bankrupt now not on, plus no $400 back. slider engine blowing oil every where ,RT1 still siezed. no spare cash left in my hiding spot ! what next? oh yes and my sons bloody court case adjourned again [4th time],and he didn,t do it. cheers wally.

Hang in there Wally, you'll survive, I went through a string of bad luck myself recently and it's OK at the other end.
It won't be the same with no Wally at a Nepean vintage meeting!.....We'll have a drink for you tomorrow night mate..
