    I'm really happy right now. Sorry for any alarm caused a week or so ago.

    Mental health is a funny thing. Drives everything we do and who we are but from time to time it takes over and makes you think silly thoughts.

    Thanks BBS, you really are a help.

    Lovely to hear and don’t think you’re a burden. Plenty who you can lean on when you need to.

    I’m a huge believer that the closer we get to and connect with our natural world, the more life makes sense and the more peace we feel.

    Really good to hear, and thanks for updating us. Just one point, I know you mentioned 'too much vodka' on the night in question, and as someone who has struggled and used to drink to excess, and have used alcohol to suppress and mask things, i can honestly say when I've been at my lowest and not wanted to be here any more, it's 100% been down to alcohol and the mistakes I've made (while on alcohol). So don't underestimate it mate. Now i have stopped altogether, nothing is as bad as it used to seem. Some people are fine on it, but if you struggle with suicidal thoughts/self harm/anxiety/depression etc. quitting alcohol, or at least checking yourself when on it, can do the world of good :) Just my thoughts, I know the struggle and don't want you to be in this position again. Take care x

    Totally agree.

    Any time you feel that way again then reach out and i guarantee someone will answer you.

    Also had my moments and can honestly say that there really are some top class people on here who have contacted me privately when i havent been at my best.

    Glad to hear things are improving. Take care of yourself and don't forget there's always a bunch of blokes (and a few women) on a small corner of the internet who are willing to listen if you ever need them to.

    Totally read that as you’re ‘always knocking one out online’ and whilst I wasn’t surprised you typed that as, well, it’s you, I did wonder how that was supposed to help the OP.
