There's a great mental health thread on the Non-Footy forum, lots of insights.

I'm very open about my mental health but it's warming to see others be so open too. To the point that reading it felt cathartic. I say it from absolute experience that talking helps and problems shared are ones that are halved (at least!).

To Connor, or anyone else, just talk! I'll talk to you, others will talk to you, but most importantly we'll listen to you.  It doesn't matter what you want to talk about either, talking is the best medicine I've ever taken.

Take care Hagrid.

For what it's worth I have mental health issues myself, you're not on your own mate.

I don’t know Hagrid (user name) or Connor.  No idea of your situation but hear this young man.  Whatever the problem, despite how dark it may appear and how helpless you may feel, there is always someone who understands how you feel, someone who can share.  At a recent seminar I was honoured to witness a man from Grimsby giving a speech which touched me deeply.  I’m fortunate In that while Ive suffered low points, my guardians have brought me round.  I’m sure you have guardians too but please please also try https://andysmanclub.co.uk/ , seriously mate #itsoktotalk

Very best of luck

A hell of a lot of concern showed for Connor, from random strangers, shows how good humanity is at times! Also good to see Matt Dean getting involved also

Hope he is OK and getting the support he needs.

Life can be difficult at times, I had a difficult year last year with the death of my mother and step dad within 6 weeks of each other, if I’m Honest I struggled for 6-8 weeks after my mothers death, I was difficult to live with but I’m ok now, I talked to close friends and immediate family and that helped so much


Stay safe Connor and get the help you need mate.

Grimsby and proud!

In the same boat as many on here, do not know Hagrid but understand the struggle.
Keep passing the open windows, matey, here to listen / read if you need to get stuff off your chest

I'll second this. Stay strong Connor and anyone else who struggles each and every day. Open up and talk, you're not alone.

I open the fishy up every morning looking for a new rumour, who’s the scapegoat this week or just to get peoples opinion on the last game, but reading it this morning gives me something different and lends a whole load of perspective.

You’re one of the better posters on here Connor (ok, that doesn’t say much!). We might not know each other personally, but you, me and everyone else on here has one thing in common mate. We’re all town, and we’re all here for you bud!


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Anyone have any updates or managed to check in with the dude to make sure he’s ok?

I’ve said for a long time, the real pandemic is mental health/suicide, particularly in men. There is support out there and as this thread shows, it can affect literally anyone, it has no prejudice but sometimes support can even simply be seeing messages of concern and support from random strangers, strangers who can empathise and understand.
