Really sorry to hear this Alan. But, please don't worry, your not alone. It's a bit of a vicious circle, being off work you get very depressed and bored (well I do anyway) and this can effect your confidence when looking for work. I know it's easy for me to say try and focus on the good things, but that really is the way I deal with situations when I feel like that.

I would say the very fact you have posted this, means your now taking action. Think of this as the 1st step of the road to recovery.
