That is a rough ride pal. Fortunately I've never been that low or in a place where I'd contemplate anything like that. People have worried themselves that I would, but it sounds daft, I hate the thought of dying. So no matter how **** I feel, could do anything like. Talk to people, I'm lucky I can and have a great network of support. So I know I'm never alone
I didn't realise at the time that I have so many people that I could talk to. Im going to make sure I never get like that again.
I'm glad to see that people such as yourself are willing to talk about depression and the effects it's had on your life . My sister killed herself some 25 years ago and the last thing I'd wish on anyone else is to go through what I and my family had to go through . Even after all this time the pain never goes away and that's the key bit with depression ; it's easy to think that no one will miss you in fact you ll feel like your doing the world a favour by killing yourself . Nothing could be further from the truth .
This is for me the BBS at its best.Giving a platform for people who are suffering but can put their trust in strangers.Long may this continue and all the best to you Worksop red.
Sorry to hear that. I believe it needs to be talked about I only just realise that and since all that happened with me it's been an eye opener to how many people I know have told me that they have been going through the same. I don't like to shout it from the roof tops but I had a month off work and people obviously asked why I was off. We as a society seem to have a real problem talking about our mental health's, almost uncomfortable I felt like that for a long time, people I know were shocked when I did it even people close to me. We dont have an issue talking about cancer and other illnesses but when it comes to mental health we don't know what to say. It's the biggest killer for young men and it shouldn't be like that if I can take positives from my attempt is that I don't want anyone else going through the same
Thanks, you have hit the nail on the head it's sometimes easier to talk about this anonymously but it's therapeutic to the op thanks for starting this thread this is what I love about football it brings people together for more than just football
