beyondblue: the national depression initiative
Lifeline Australia 13 11 14 - Suicide Prevention, Crisis Support & Mental Health services - Lifeline | Connect with someone who cares
For anyone who feels it is all getting A Bit Too Much, these guys are worth a call. I imagine that they're getting a lot of calls in the current economic climate (and probably a fair few from Federal ALP MPs 
).
Seriously, 'toughening up' is about as effective as filling Lake Eyre with a hose if you're feeling really depressed/anxious. Nor does Dr Dan Murphy have all the answers and not everyone has a supportive partner.
Even if your partner is supportive, if your image/ego depends partially on being a 
'n' cocky pilot you may find it hard to speak to people you're close to. Sometimes talking to someone you don't know (and whose opinion you don't care about) can be a hell of a lot easier.
Both the above are anonymous and no-one needs to know that you called.
(edit; oops, second time for BB).
