Thank-you for all kind words. I don't find it difficult to talk about this subject and can only hope that others find it easier to deal with should they be being impacted by depression.

David, The honesty you and your family have shown is a gut-check for those of us in the IT field. Very glad you found a way to balance things out and keep your priorities straight. Hats off to you, mate! Very sobering and encouraging video. Thank you so much for sharing!

I've just watched this and I feel I can relate in some ways. I have my own business, IT Support. Not got any kids but have questioned and still am, if I'm happy.

I think that was quite brave of you and your wife to share this.

We have acutully met in Liverpool, I remember thinking how much I would like to work for Microsoft and I acutally think now after seeing this, that it's the person and people around you that make a diffrence.

I'm moved.

Thanks

Thanks for posting this. It takes real fortitude to admit to depression. I've had depressive episodes off and on over my life. After all this time, I can be honest.

Most people can't. Especially, most people in our field.
