    Does and one know working email address/ website for GMHP or similar?

    I located an email address on hse website but no responses

    I also rang the number in the past with no success

    Maybe some one has some alternative suggestion for my situation.

    Below is some of the email to gmhpoutreach@eircom.net

    Hello

    I am initially emailing to just confirm this email address etc is active

    my ex partner has spent close to a year struggling with our relationship, and how he can fit it to his life. The word conflicted sums much of it up but to the extent it is impacting on every part of his life.

    A long protracted breakup follow for most of this year with a complete separation some weeks ago with him determined that he wanted to move on with his life as it was too overwhelming, reverting to a "straight" life - or in reality the things he feels expected by his family, culture and upbringing. For good or bad , the feelings he had for me continued , and so he hopes to get some counselling to see what decision is best.

    This is a good indicator itself of his wish to feel better, as being bisexual is not something he would find easy to talk about but in this case is enthusiastic and anxious to try see whats available

    I am writing only because he is still some what caught up in the confusion, and english not being his first language he may struggle - but just with this initial contact. Not his language skills, he is fluent speaking english, but his cultural background may contribute to how overwhelmed he is.

    He is 29

    I would appreciate if you could confirm if a service is available, and how to arrange it, or if there are any alternatives

    thanks

    I'm fairly certain that that is the correct email address have a look at www.gaymenshealthservice.ie - if you can't contact GMHS by phone drop into or ring outhouse

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
