That's the beautiful side of humanity right there, that's worth more than any pile of money in the world.
Well done and massive thanks to Reepa, to Wolves and to you for sharing it here which helps to grow awareness and consciousness in us all.
Well that's me and Miss Slave having a good old blub then!! Well said but how sad is it that football seems to be almost the only place that offers a sense of community right now. Back in the day it was travelling and the free festival scene that gave me and many others a place of sanctuary but they soon put a stop to that, no money to be made from it for the man was there!!

I proper blubbed at that. Great video. My eldest son is suffering his second bad bought of depression and is back with us from uni as we try and support him through it. Lots of hugs, time, listening, sorting things out that he canāt cope with at the moment. Think we can see the dark cloud just starting to lift. And my youngest son is autistic and expressed suicidal thoughts last summer, as he suffers from extreme anxiety, so he couldnāt cope with the thought of leaving secondary school and going to a new college. However, that specialist college has almost literally been a life saver for him and has been instrumental in building him into the young man that we always thought he could be. Butā¦ā¦ā¦the college has had their funding withdrawn so wonāt exist after the summer. We now see a young man slowly slipping back and insidious anxiety drip, drip, dripping into his head again, as we have no idea what we will do. Zero support from anyone. My wife held on the phone for 2.5 hours last week to try and speak to a special needs person at the council, and the call eventually just cut off. Itās not that we feel cut adrift from the system, there is no system in the first place, this government has hollowed out the support systems that used to be in place. Anyway, didnāt mean to bang on as I just have, just came out. Both my sons are ITFC fans (despite us living a long way away), one is a season ticket holder with me, and the lift our promotion has given them, and me, is huge. Amazing what your football team can do for you!!

If you have the money I'd recommend going private and finding a really good CBT therapist in your area. Literally changed/saved my life. I had chronic social anxiety - one of my first 'tasks' with CBT was to go on a bus journey for just one stop. I now perform stand-up comedy in London. There were obviously a lot of tasks in between those two points, slightly harder each time, but it just shows what the brain can do. And more importantly, if you work with it, it can change.

Thanks for sharing
and dont forget you can always share on here or via PM's
TWTD may be full of strange mix of people but we all care and we are all here for each other
Seems to have gone very misty in my lounge for some reason. Was great to see some of the younger lads and lasses coming forward too. Good stuff from Wolves.
Proper blubbed watching that. The one that got me was the guy in the glasses who goes to football on his own who came back to say thank you, having had a hug a few minutes earlierā¦ just made me realise even more how just one small kind act can have a massive effect, as it had done for him.
Well played to him individually and Wolves as a club for this.
Superb from Wolves. I know there have been times in my life where going to watch ITFC on a Saturday kept me going. I totally identify with that lad who goes to games on his own. I've done a lot of that in the past. Fortunately things have improved a lot for me and I've met some great people who i now go to games with, but the darkness is never far away. Hugs with strangers during goal celebrations can mean everything. In that moment you belong, you are accepted and it fills you with joy and positivity. There was something very reassuring about knowing that I could go to the match at 3pm on a Saturday and my team would be there for me. I could depend on them being there every week. It helped.
