Blimey. If you were a horse they'd put you down Mark.
I know what you mean about those difficult phases though. The important thing is that we come through them. Also, when we realise how much money these things cost, it can get us pricing more realistically afterwards.
I had my own set of disasters spanning three years and it caused me a lot of problems and certainly affected my ability to work.
In no particular order, I watched two good friends die, became very sick myself and was unable to do much for 6 months due to the harsh medical treatment, a long term relationship ended, had to rent a room in someone's house for a few months till I could get my flat back from a rental agreement, brother-in-law died, van had to be written off as beyond economical repair, replacement van crashed and off road for a few weeks, sold that eventually and it's replacement needed a new gearbox, had to contact police as ex-g/friend kept stalking me while I was ill and I went close to breakdown.
I know that the above was spread over a three year period but it left me pretty wobbly at times.
Most recent death was only a few weeks back and dust still settling from that.
On top of all that I lost a lot of work mostly due to my inability to sustain the workload.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Now doing better than ever.
To infinity and beyond,
