My pm is open for anyone that wants to talk privately or wants someone to listen or for advice
And remember you are never alone

Great post mate. Thanks for reaching out to everyone.
6 months ago my mental healyh plummeted to the point of suicide.
Its a fight every day since.
I use Andy Mans club as support. I have opened up to an ex forces friend who suffered similar and is now a mental health advocate.
People will listen and help. I am realising the world is better with me in it.
Whilst i may not take you up on your offer its appreciated and I hope those that need it reach out. |

Great thread, OP.
Thursday was a wobbly day, but that's understandable considering the various external stressors present in my life right now, and I DBT'd my way through the day. Fortunately, there's more lovely stuff than shit, and having the ability to see it is not to be taken for granted. |

Thank you for the invitation to talk 
Recently single after 8 year marriage (together for 14 years, much like the Tory gov ) Surprisingly, I am doing well and feeling very liberated, but occassionally feel sad, lonely etc.
Today I booked myself a solo holiday for me to Canary Islands in September, looking forward to sun amd switching off.
Love to you all out there going through separation and divorce. |

Physical illness has had a really negative effect on my mental health recently. My reaction to strong pain meds making me woozy is for my brain to freak out. So I have to decide between physical pain or brain melt.
It's made me depressed, grumpy and a nightmare to be around. I'm taking offence at the slightest thing and it's caused some big rifts.
Fortunately I have some amazing friends, who have picked me up and dusted me off, refused to let me wallow in self-pity and kicked my arse.
So, trying to make my brain focus on the good. It doesn't like it, but tough.

Thank you for posting this OP. I had a few weeks of paranoia and self doubt/criticism. The noises in my head were deafening but a couple of fab friends have helped me through my negativity and I am in a much better place now. Just want to say I think the fab community is wonderful |

My mental health has not been good this week.Although I haven’t been spoken to yet by management I have crossed a line at work a line which management could well dismiss me.It’s my own fault so I expect to be dismissed I only hope that I will be allowed to keep or even take my work pension straight away as I can as I am over 55 and not be forced to wait until 67 which is state pension age. |

Last weekend was brilliant first time at a particular event, this week is good and next weekend, I hope it'll be amazing. I have a few things planned coming up too.
However, I have a few things going on that are shit and I go through times of pushing on pushing on, then I collapse. I soon straighten myself out as I have others to think of but the cycle goes on.
It helps having people to talk to and someone there by your side supporting you.
My advice, please talk to someone if your having troubles. Even just to vent, verbalising helps.

Guys and girls thank you l very very very much for the reply’s, I hope getting your emotions out there helped just that wee bit  I will continue to post these every few days as I do feel that a lot of people need help a the moment (my self included). I have recently seen a young man attempt to jump off a bridge.
And remember YOU ARE NEVER ALONE |

Right now my MH is ok. But it is a constant journey and some days are definitely better than others.
One day at a time as always. Sending hugs to all those that need one RN 🤗 |

"I'm on an emotional rollercoaster that is difficult to deal with. The lows are very hard. "
I've arranged for a fab friend to do a daily MH check-in with me through Aug ❤️ |

I’ve had a shit time but fighting back. Went introverted and isolated myself, saw life as just waiting to die. Getting out and about has helped, changing things that made me unhappy has helped too.
Great post.  |

Always remember people no matter what you go through it will get better with determination a sprinkle of effort and a dash of commitment. I say this as only a few months ago i was homeless living in a hotel on the verge of ending it all as i thought i lost it all. I sacrificed access to my son lost my job and hit my rock bottom. Only to build back the life i lost. In the space of 3 months i got a fantastic job which i thoroughly enjoy. Regained access to my son and only a few days ago got keys to permanent accomodation for myself and my son. As the age old saying goes. If at first you dont succeed try and try again. You got this. Dont give up |
