I understand how you feel mate. I decide it us just a game when we lose and convince myself it is not important. Of course when we win I feel great.I used to enjoy the football but recently it’s become less of a enjoyment and more of a loyalty that I can’t end to break. Deep down I know that if I had no affiliation to a football team I’d probably be a lot happier and a lot less stressed, but how can you abandon a team you’ve been with for years.
Get yourself sorted mateStress hit me today. That’s a new one. House purchase is dragging on, parents are getting to me, kids back at “school” and all that entails, missus getting pissed off being here so no sex for ages.
Started getting lightheaded and heart racing and all sorts. Scared me a little bit TBH.
Booked next week off work as I need to use up my holiday. Gonna take some me time and eat right, get some exercise for the first time in months.

Well done for taking immediate action to change things. Sorry things are tough at the moment. Don’t be afraid to get help from Gp if necessaryStress hit me today. That’s a new one.

Worth mentioning that we are coming to the end of the S. A. D period with spring coming along so hopefully some of you that may not have been aware you suffer from it, and with lockdown making it worse anyway... You should see an improvement in your mental health over the next few weeks..
Also, in the autumn be sure to take vitamin D supplements, it's pretty vital, most people are deficient and don't know, it directly effects mood, mine was seriously low a few years back supplements really helped my mood
I recommend doctors best which you can get on amazon
I've done just that.Don’t be afraid to get help from Gp if necessary
Yep walk a mile in another’s shoesI've done just that.
Various things have exhausted me, but all this talk of opening up, abolishing all restrictions is panicking me rather, as I see myself being left behind, abandoned, and expected to fend for myself. I keep having nightmares about who will look after those closest to me, can't sleep, am far far more irritable than normal.
I really hope people act with consideration and recognise that stresses during this pandemic come from many perspectives, and that we all need to be aware of them all...
My son's close friend took his life on Sunday. He was 19 years old.
My son spoke to him on Saturday and said he was fine; they were talking about meeting up once we come out of lockdown restrictions.
He's heartbroken and is struggling big time. It's difficult to know what to say. He said he feels terribly guilty for not knowing how ill he was.
Honestly, if anyone is having mental health problems, talk to someone.
RIP Oliver.
From experience with 3 friends (all ex service) who have took their own life, not one of them said there was a problem and gave no indication of their intentions.. I was chatting to one mate the night before and he was laughing etc seemed fine...My son's close friend took his life on Sunday. He was 19 years old.

Just found out I’ve passed 2 more of my chartered accountancy exams. Feels like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders considering it’s all I’ve been thinking about for the last few months. That, coupled with the fact that football is back in a months time is really brightening my outlook on things. Here’s hoping that City win today to make it a double good day!
Thank you mateCongratulations - well done!!

Thanks both. As daft as it sounds, this board was the only place keeping me sane. Days I didn’t feel like going for a walk or ringing people this was the only place I had for entertainment
Too right mateHope your in a good place, despite the match day to and throws we all support city and want what's best for each other
this board was the only place keeping me sane.
I will contact the wisest person I know.Your mental health is in a far worse state than I first thought. Pleas seek immediate help!!

Schmeee. Sorry to hear that. I don’t have any experience with it to the extent that you get light headed and heart racing etc, but I am running a huge project at work that never seems to end and involved a load of negotiations and dirty tactics that is a huge weight on my shoulders and very high stakes. Found myself struggling to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night etc.Stress hit me today. That’s a new one.

Fancy a pint ?I wouldn’t say I’m struggling per se but just in desperate need to spend some time with the lads.
The Missus is great but she’s not the lads. I just wanna sit, have the crack, talk about shit, watch the football and get horrifically drunk whilst eyeing up in any woman who has the ‘temerity’ to come in the bar whilst convincing myself that she would definitely want a piece of a fat 41 year old before stumbling into an Uber and falling asleep in a pool of my own dribble.
Is that too much to ask?
I’d fucking love one!Fancy a pint ?

Feeling shite today. The hope has fucked off somewhere into the distance and the grinding down from recent events isn't offset by other positives as I think they usually would be in 'normal times'.
Quite how that kid has survived all this I'll never know. His poor wife's ears must need a holiday! Better weather would definitely help, just looks so fucking bleak out.Could be worse. You could have had C on your doorstep chatting socially distant shit for half an hour like I did yesterday!
In all seriousness, not long now, lockdown will be eased, the weather will be better and the evenings will be lighter.
We are doing a lot of work on stress at work at the moment. Workforce is on edge, we have had 3 suicide attempts this month with 1 successful. Sad times when people are in this mindset but people are generally struggling. I find I struggle when I don’t cycle on a Sunday, it just resets my head for the week with 4 hours on my own And I know I will feel it this week. It sounds daft but there are things that help people cope, as LG mentioned we need bloke time as well as family time.
war kills people but this is doing the same through stealth, feels like the nation is cracking Slowly
