My job has been under threat for nigh on a year now with zero reassurance, and lots of other things going on too. So maybe that why I found myself welling up over and over again listening to Mark Ashton this week.
His passion for the club, and our owners level headedness has made me fall in love with this club again, when I'd spent a long time wondering why I was bothering with it at all.
Thank you. |  |

Firstly. Please accept my apologies for calling you that, I don't need you to accept the apology, but I mean it, none the less.
I was on my own last night and needed to reach out to someone, and at five to midnight it struck me that TWTD was a pretty good place to do it. There are lots of people on this forum that have and are going through similar stuff, so I took the decision to admit that currently, I'm struggling.
I'm afraid that your response caught me off guard, obviously I need to talk to a mental health professional, but your one sentence response, where you hadn't considered that I probably already was getting help, came across as entirely non empathetic, and it felt as though you were making a point of 'well, don't tell us, do something about it'. Maybe that wasn't how you meant it, but then tone doesn't come across well in text.
After I replied, you pretty much doubled down on that. I know you know nothing about my job, I know you really don't care about it, and I don't expect you too. Its not just my job thats caused it, as I said there are a few other things contributing, like long term grief, but I shouldn't have to explain myself any further.
I'll be alright, I'm getting help, as I said, my apology is there should you want it. If not, that's cool too. [Post edited 11 Dec 2023 16:43]

Appreciate it and accepted. I apologize as well for such a short response then as stated above. However, it was coming from a good place I promise you. Not everyone does speak to people that are trained professionally in that area and it can be an important first step. I had no idea if you had already done that but in case you hadn’t it was just my suggestion. Knowing people close to me that it’s helped.
If I didn’t articulate enough or came across a bit cold it wasn’t my intention, was a quick reply from my phone and which I had stated good luck and hope you feel better as well.
But regardless I’m glad to hear you’re getting it and all the best to you chap. |  | | |

Have to say, the club has helped me this last year and a bit. Going through a divorce and losing my job as well as four friends dying all rather young and unexpectedly, it was the football and the friends I have met through it which has got me through some bad times.
Hopefully things work out for you but DM if you want a chat |  | | |
