Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

Raining here today and I'm as flat as a pancake from this news. Amazing how one reacts to sad news about a person you've never met.

But, we keep moving forward and our thread is still here helping those that need it. We've lost our mate but we all know how much he'd want us to carry on.

If you're new to the thread, welcome & feel free to use it as you need. There are no real rules aside from respect.

The greatest tribute we can pay to those who are gone is to carry con. RIP Blue and thankyou
 
After a lot of soul searching. Talking to mates etc. I'm 100% leaving my place of work for the past 26 years.

I've been scared all along, but never thought about what I can actually achieve. Spoke to my mates 80 year old dad at the match on Saturday and he said things that made perfect sense.

I can afford to do it and even have an sound idea for a business. So what the hell life is too short and if I don't try I'll always regret it.

Worse case is I fail. I know there are going to be times when I wonder what did I do but hopefully it will work out. Life is about the ride and by God I'm going to enjoy it.

That's tremendous mate. Congratulations on your decision. All your blue friends here will wish you the best of luck, and look forward to hearing how you get on in the future.

As long as the business isn't making David Moyes t-shirts mate, I'm sure you'll do brilliantly :D. Good luck.

It's a bit of a strange one as I'm being phased back in but they have stuck me in the training school which is for new starters because they haven't got a placement for me.

However there is no work to do for me because I have done it all so I'm doing nothing from 7.30am until I finish 14.00 this week. I have just come home today incredibly annoyed and frustrated and angry as I can't for the life of me see how it's helping.

Basically I'm very frustrated at the moment which isn't good for me at this stage.

Thanks for enquiring though mate.

Have they given any indication as to when there might be a placement?

Best of luck mate. Just don't hinge your business on Anichebe merchandise, those two goals will be the last you see from him for while

Would you regret not doing it on your death bed?

If the answer is yes, then you know what to do ;)

Hopefully something will come up fairly soon and you'll be able to get stuck into some proper work that'll keep your mind more occupied, just bide your time mate and try not to work yourself up too much (I appreciate that's easier said than done sometimes). Just think a couple of weeks back you were unsure about going back, now you're itching to get properly involved, that's massive progress and it's just a case of being patient.

Thanks mate, got no choice but to stick it out, just when I'm sat for hours with nothing to do, I tend to get angry because that wasn't the point of a phased return. Keep on keeping on as they say.
