I owe everyone here an apology for words i posted which should never have been written. Right now I’m in the depths of another episode of Clinical Depression and while that does not excuse my actions I hope it explains them and I beg your understanding and forgiveness. Until I can get myself sorted out I will be away from here.

l have read that post, frankly you are over-reacting to it, much ado about nothing actually.
Compose yourself and relax buddy, having a bout with depression is the “in” thing nowadays, and I’m in too!
I also suffer from major depression, though I have more good days than bad.
I hope you feel better soon, Phil. 
G'Day Phil, 
All is OK, don't worry too much.
Best Regards,
George
Any reasonable person older than a teenager should understand Phil, meanwhile maybe stay away from that saw for a while, you can go back to mastering it when you feel better. 
Best treatment for depression is to buy another flashlight 
Yup, it’s like a big rollercoaster, fast, slow, up, down, stop, go.
Life :+1:
Hope you feel better soon bro. You're among friends here and we appreciate your contributions and comradery.
All above well said!
No need for apologies, I really appreciated it, you voiced what a lot of people must feel, that is a good thing, so no reason to feel sorry about!
Lately the post of a few people annoy me, even to the point of pressing the “rude”-button. For the first time. You certainly are not one of them. We all have moments we later look upon as “should have done that different”. You are no exception to that rule. It is just proof that you are human. More relevant is the ratio of “normal” and “abnormal” responses to something. From my perspective, you are still way in the green zone.
As for you state of mind. I’ve been there. Not abnormal, considering my age. There is a dutch expression that goes somewhat like this: not being able to see the forest because of all the trees. Reverse that: if you don’t like the forest, concentrate on one tree. Or one beautiful flower. You will notice that there are more than meets the eye.
Very very very nice!
The common English expression is “can’t see the wood for the trees”, in this case wood being used as a synonym for forest rather than the material, though it works either way I suppose.
Hey, if we’re all judge by our least composed moments, we’d all be in trouble, and if that was your least composed moment, you’re doing great. I speak English and always heard forest. Z’s version is the common British English version. Forest is American English. In American English woods are the forest, but wood is not.
No worries man!
Want to borrow my Q8 for some therapy?
Seriously! you can.
Sawmaster,
While I didn’t see the post, no need to worry too much what you said. I bet tomorrow no one will even think about it. As for depression, I also suffer from clinical depression. It is an daily struggle to maintain my composure and keep my head above water. The medication doesn’t work any more so I try to do things that make me happy, like buying so many damn flashlights! Ha! Try to do what pleases you and not worry about pleasing others. You deserve better than what you are giving yourself. Best of luck and future healing.
Don’t withdraw and hide away, that’s the natural reaction, but it really doesn’t help, longer term. Please chat with us, if you want.
And don’t tear yourself up dwelling on such a little thing (particularly in the small hours when things can get badly out of perspective). Time moves forwards, not back, try to focus on good things for the future and try to gather the energy to do some little things you used to find enjoyable, even if you really don’t think you can.
Look after yourself first, don’t worry about what others might be thinking, anyway they won’t be.
Phil,
I have not read “that” post but at times we all say something we don’t mean.
Always liked your positive contribution to our community.
Looking forward to your future posts.
Hang in there buddy, it will get better, i think you know this too.
But i know very well that it can be hard…
I suffer from depression myself, inherited it from my dad…
I admit that I was upset by your post, but I think it is great that you came back to it and explained in what circumstances it was written. :+1: 
First of all I hope your feeling better. Get well….
I read your post and thought it was great, your opinion.
Posts like yours are good to shake up things around here once in awhile. Got to keep them in check…
Take care SawMaster
