Hi all,
Well it has been a while since my last post and any engagement in my normal activities.
Early in the year I was diagnosed with severe depression brought on by a few personal issues which I am happy to report are on the mend and I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as they say.
I have also been under the knife again for another, hopefully final, round of spinal surgery to correct some disk and nerve damage due to a MVA back in 2009.
As I mentioned things are starting to look up, and with the great help and support of family and friends I am to return to maintaining this blog and pick up my hiking time.
If depression affects you there are lots of great resources out there, one I found particularly useful was Beyond Blue. Sometimes just a few words to someone who seems to be struggling is all it takes.
Take care,
Trail_geek

Sounds like your heading in the right direction Mark. I wish you the best in your recovery.
ReplyDeleteHi Mark. Sorry to hear about the surgery and the depression but really pleased to hear that you are on the up and up. I hope that continues for you.
ReplyDeleteBTW still using the quilt too :)
Take care. Andrew
Hi Mark, just read your article in the Bibb track magazine over the weekend in the Manjimup area (Beavis and Boarding House campsites, great area). Was wondering why I hadn't seen anything from you on BPL for a long time. Let me know if you want to head out for an overnighter one weekend- always looking for a willing hiking parter. Glad you're on the way up with managing your illness. Cheers, Will Inman,
