I'm in a similar boat mate. Relationship fucked, finances fucked, nowhere to go but the kids stop me pulling the trigger. I do feel like it's just a matter of time but I've been feeling that way for a long time now.

There's something keeping you here mate, and that's enough. That's the thing to focus on. Your kids are where to put all of your energy for now. I'm really glad you're still here.

I ended up coming home from work on Monday after speaking on here for the first time last weekend. I was due to come home on Wednesday but when I realised that I even another 2 days away felt like hell on earth I spoke to my manager and he got me away within the hour.

Within a couple days of coming home I could feel the stress starting to ease and my skin has calmed right down without needing to take any medication. So it’s definitely stress related.

I even managed to get out for an hour on my bike today which will give me endorphins for days. Same again tomorrow hopefully.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend❤️

We're here for you mate ❤️

you can tell in PF if other factors are affecting watching the lads and i'd noticed you hadn't been as optimistic recently. Apologies if mentioned but have not thought about counselling?, i had my first one last week and it makes a difference.

I’m back away with work atm but I’m gonna get myself down to Andy’s Man Club next time I’m back. I’m feeling a bit more positive about life this week.

Just gotta keep focussing on the good stuff.
 
I will say it here as it's a safe place and won't get taken out of step.

PF match day threads are eye opening, lots of people are suffering in their lives. Reckon that's why there is so much emotional investment..they use the lads as an escape and it's not healthy.. I do that in other areas of your life too and it's draining..that's why I was drinking 1ltr of rum a weekend... back drinking now but adjusting to get that nice buzz and not staggering about 🤣

I will come with you mate I used to be a facilitator at Andys man club for a few years. But when you become a facilitator you sometimes forget who you are.

Just spoke to Andy’s man club and going to get the logo on the Bairns teams new strips


Also how about if we all can’t get to amc we do as said above go for a cuppa or go for a walk.

Had an awful day today, I mentioned in the dating thread that i'd asked someone out and she turned me down. Well my mate who laughed told me why this morning, he said that he was gutted that i'd asked her and pretty much implied that I leapt on any sort of friendly female attention and very compassionately said "I don't want you getting a reputation", which hit me for 6 as I don't ask every friendly woman out.. then the negative voice had full reign for over an hour to do its worst. But therapy is working in the sense of me questioning both my beliefs and his words... but it's been tough today..

Mate firm believer in everything happens for a reason so shes not the one for you, but when you meet the right one are we all getting invites to the wedding 😉 . Do you not think your mate maybe likes her thats why he said what he's said ?

it wasn't the asking out mate, it was the fallout from it. It was no big deal she's not available. It gave me a confidence boost that I actually did it without wasting months of my life to find out :lol: ... It was my mate saying his piece today that set me off, and he did it with the greatest respect. No he doesn't he's against me asking people out at work full stop.

Glad to hear it.

Not sure which group you'll be going to but I'll be on the door at the Ryhope (temp home) group on Monday. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
