Chances are, if you have a book on social work from university, you might have shelved it, never to read it again. Whilst there are points which I disagree on, there have been many that have made me sit up and think: Oh I never thought of it that way! Over and over again. Take a look at your shelf now.

We have times where we feel like we will never, ever see the light again. My walking team (and part of my amazing family) showed their support again this year! It may sound a little cliche, but it’s also extremely accurate. All of us have moments where we’re in the darkness. I’d love to learn more!

I never knew or learned healthy coping mechanisms. I would always just shove the thoughts down as deep as they would go until I could feel “normal” again. I want you to know that no matter what anyone has said or thought, my intention was never to die. So once again, my love, I am sorry for putting you through this.

But because so many men struggle in silence, the world never knows. And at some point in the future, the shock will come again. And I will be sad and frustrated again. And when someone dies by suicide and the world didn’t know their struggle, there is so much speculation. So yes, I’m sad.

They help us to learn and grow as people, and without mistakes, we would never get anything done. Reflecting on them, and thinking about what we can take away from them to inform our future decisions and prevent us from making the same mistake again, can help us to make peace with them. We can often learn from our mistakes.

It’s funny how I was never taught this in university. Sure, I learnt all about the theory, but I never formally learnt how to ‘manage a case’, until I was a social worker back in Singapore.

You acquiesce again and with that you are trapped in this spiral. Hopefully those others who have never had to deal with a narcissist can be supportive and understanding non-judgmentally towards those in these situations. That is when they then guilt you for letting them down. Being nice you extend yourself further. It is necessary.
