All the very best to you too.
Stick together and help each other through.

Just a quick message to anyone who may read on today's #WorldMentalHealthDay

The advice I’d give to somebody that’s silently struggling is: You don’t have to live that way. You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need.

You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human.

You've got this and you're not alone - My DM's are always open. Despite being a Darlo fan, I'm a sound bloke and always willing to listen to you.

Well put Andy. I think the problem may be that, unfortunately, people think they can cope with mental illness and do not realise they need help.

If you have a cut you get a plaster. If your brain needs a reset you don't both.er Yes I know it's not as simple as that but as Andy says the first large step is talking. Once you speak out you can then take control of a situation. Like Andy you can send me a PM if you to speak out.

Very sad when you hear of suicides in any walk of life but some catch you by surprise. I note the politician Sajid Javids brother took his own life recently. Hence when a family is successful you think these things happen far less but it can affect anyone.

I read recently a book about a young women aged only 25 who lost her life to illness . She went to a top university in the United States and cited a suicide when she was studying there . A young man couldn't cope with the academic rigours and maintaining  a image of success. She said something which made a lot of sense titled the duck syndrome. On the outside ducks look ok but underneath the water their legs are really struggling to keep afloat. Bit like some of us. On the outside we present a picture that everything is ok but deep within our subconscious were really struggling with things .

I hope everyone is well, just a quick message to reiterate that it's OK to open up and talk. Please do not suffer alone.
I say this as yesterday I had the news a young lad I coached and played with for the last 5 years has taken his own life (aged 22). Its so important to not fight depression, heart break and loneliness alone.

Stay safe all x

I always struggle in the winter and this year is no different. It’s probably something to do with sunlight but also the things I enjoy doing and use for distractions (golf and walking) become less available. I’m getting to the point in life now where I’m regretting some of the choices I made earlier in life with regards career. I’m somewhat of a social hand grenade so I’m becoming a bit reclusive and socially awkward (at the very best) if I do. Anyway I left an event after having a bit of a moment last night and was walking country roads in the cold and dark and I now think it’s time to act on it.

As most of you know i suffer with depression and like many on here say you must talk about it and not bottle it up.

If you do not have family or close friend to talk to there always your fishy friends on here who will listen to your problems me included.

I also find the winter months are the worse and i have suffered so long with the dark moods that i reconise the trigger points early now so i do the things that make me happy to brighten my mood.

The best thing is to talk about it and of course if you have not seen your doctor do so because moderb medicine do help .

Remember you are not alone 1 in 3 of us will suffer with this problem so never think nobody can help .Its the ones who bottle things up who take their lifes so please do not be one of those.

Its good to talk .
