Merry Christmas all.

It’s been touch and go as to whether I’d be alive.

Earlier this year I tried to kill myself, and this mental
health **** is real. Just glad I failed.. (I am now at least).

Hard to tell anyone about this but as I’m now out the other side as such I feel I can share it.

What have I learnt from my experience? Don’t bottle anything up. Speak to family, friends, or even the Samaritans.

I lost three close relatives within 9 months. First was my uncle (who was like my brother), second was
My Nan (who was my other mother literally, she brought me up when I was at primary school),
Then out of the blue my Dad passed away (he was perfectly healthy, complained of not been able to breath one night, 17hrs later we had to decide
To turn the machines off as we wasn’t improving and there was no other option). Suffice to say I never dealt with any of it, especially my Dad.

My world came tumbling down into a nervous mess. I gave up on life. Just wanted to curl into a ball and disappear. That was the point I asked for help. I relapsed a few months back and that’s when I tried to commit suicide.

I’m telling the forum this as if someone reads this and it helps them then it makes a difference.

Sorry to read this mate must have been an awful time for you. Hopefully you're out the other side now. And you're correct bottling things up isnt the way forward. Must have been difficult for you to post this, much respect to you for doing so and hopefully anyone going through something similar thats reading this takes something from it and it gives them the strength to do something positive about their issues.

Think it’s difficult DJ, for those of us not in that mindset to understand what you (and others) are going through at times like that.

Hopefully you are able to build on your well-being and move forward positively. The very best wishes to you and yours for the festive season and the future.

Sending love! Very brave of you to post mate.

Im actually a very good listener and sometimes its easier to open up to someone that your not that close too if that makes sense ?

So feel free to pop me a message anytime you may feel you need too

I can only imagine the pain youve been through and it puts all this football bollocks into perspective
