I posted on here a few weeks ago about my recent struggles with mental health, following the death of my Dad after a long illness, and then my relationship with my girlfriend breaking down.
The last few weeks in particular have been really dark and really difficult. My head has been a horrible place to be at times.
I was in tears this morning yet again, and my brother bought me a ticket to go with him to the match today (my first time at PR for over 3 years). I used to go regularly with my Dad/brother but had lost interest in recent years (no surprise).
Anyway, what I wanted to say was when Celina's goal went in it was the first time I had felt 'alive' and a genuine flood of positive emotions in the last couple of months, to the point where it made me well up a bit, just remembering that it is possible to feel good again.
Have a good evening all. |  |

Glad to hear that.
Don't expect there to be no more dark days, but time is a healer. They are likely to get fewer. |  |

Thank you for sharing that. As others have pointed out, time will work it’s magic and immersing yourself in things like football, however trivial, is a good thing in my view. It’s helped me in the past. |  | | |

Keep reminding yourself of those words "It is possible to feel good again". They will help you get through.
I spent two years in a very dark place after my first wife left me and the kids for another guy. I thought I would never be able to recover and feel alive again. I came so close to ending it all one day but eventually time, good and caring friends and my faith in God brought me through.
After three years I found the love of a wonderful woman and have been happily married now for 14 years. The kids are now grown, independent and doing great. We got through.
There is always hope. One day you will be able to look back as I can from a very different position.
Take care | | | |
