Thanks very much mate. You don’t realise how big a part of your life our club is until you start missing it and everything a matchday brings. For a couple of hours, you're part of something and the rest of your troubles disappear.

Considering how good things are at the club at the minute, it’s really disappointing to hear of people getting this sort of treatment.

Ticket issues aside I hope you’re alright mate. Plenty inboxes open on here including mine if you need a bit of a crack on though.
 
Had a class weekend away but now I'm starting the long journey back and I'm gutted it's over. Something I have always struggled with is a huge drop in mood after something I've been looking forward to and enjoyed is over. It's weird because I will sometimes avoid making plans because I know the drop off in mood will come afterwards which I know is mental.

I've been like this as long as I can remember. It's possibly autism related to be fair.

Try and put a few positive things in the future to stack up. Might be simple like a night out with a few mates etc.
Anyway and more importantly so glad you had a great weekend. Stop and think about that for a few minutes and digest how good that was and the best moment.
It proves mate that you can have that again and again. Those bastard demons that live in one side of your head are not going to beat the other side.

You are making progress mate ❤️👍

Just keep your head up. Recovery from shit mental health isn't a straight line, there's always gonna be ups and downs, we've just gotta do our best to make sure the downs don't spiral out of control.

Thanks!

I’ve been working from home to try and help but I think even being at work at the moment is starting to hinder me.

After a few weeks on certain medications it should be settling in. If not then a different medication may be needed. But the trial and error phase can be hellish. Stick with it. Or plod on as you say. You will get on the the right medication to help you.
 
I've had a horrendous couple of months, severe fatigue , mood swings, muscle cramps basically feeling as flat as a fart, couldn't be arsed with anything or anyone.The mrs made me go to the doctor as I was doing her head in. Asked loads of questions and checked me over, ended up getting blood tests. Got the results back and It turns out that I'm severely deficient in Vitamin D. Was already taking multi vitamins but the Doctor says that I need a course of full strength tablets and to take separate Vitamin D everyday .I had something similar a few years back but the symptoms were nowhere near as severe. I can only imagine how difficult it is for some on here that have to live with depression every day.

I reckon a significant percentage of people will be deficient in Vitamin D, especially this time of year.
