The Night my Father
Jumped out of His Skin Written and read by Michell Raper
I can see it, just as it was. The mahogany panelling and the potted palms, and my father diffidently making, his way past the slick new manager - up the stairs and into his brand new bedroom. He hadn't stayed in a hotel like this before and he wasn't expecting trouble ...

GRETA: I don't know whether it's great or not, but it's not stopping there.
ARTHUR: Course it is. It really sets the house off; gives it a touch of class.

"The trouble was that as soon as I woke up my mind seemed to be in complete contusion - I couldn't think straight, it was like a machine clogged up and I didn't know what I was going to do or where I was going to."
"I tried to cut my wrists on a couple of occasions but the knife was a bit blunt and I don't think I had much courage actually. I think really I was asking for help. I wouldn't have taken my own life because I always had the children foremost in my mind - they were number one."
Comments from two people recalling their depressive illnesses. But when are you clinically depressed? What's the difference between being fed-up and being in need of medical care? And what help is available?
