How you all doing

I'm ok, I'm whining about transfers on here but really the club have done very well with what they have bought in. Personally I'm preparing myself for a walk in Spain in October, this after putting a lot of weight on since March 2020, my knees felt ****ed for a while but I am lucky that I have people around me who will keep pushing me to get more fit and loose weight and I really want this at this moment.
The real dark cloud is a very close friend who is on palliative care at home at the moment, she and her husband have treated me like family since I have been in Exeter, 24 years and have helped me with a lot. She had an operation 5 weeks ago to remove a growth from her liver but it ended up highlighting other problems, Her problems kinda put my 'problems' into context.
 
For context in case anyone doesn’t know about mental health

I had a therapy session with an LGBT counsellor earlier

I was asked to write a time line when I got home.

I’ve been writing it for an hour and am currently at the age of 16 and I’ve already broke down in tears twice.

And I’ve not even got to my first kiss yet.

Sorry to hear that about your friend kid, definitely puts things in perspective....

It ain’t a competition.
Don’t treat it like one.
Your problems and struggles are just as real as anyones. And aren’t trivial
 
With NZRed, although not bored, plant world about to get busy :)

Nice sunny winters day, about 14 deg c outside.

Edit (I;m not 'with' NZRed in the close to him sense, I'm down in Nelson, but 'with' him at work, but not his work)

Remember, the writing can be a totally a personal thing. You can do a brief timeline for the counselor and keep the other one to yourself if you want? From what you say on here, it seems to help?

Haha, well, that clears that up!
 
I’m sat on a ship off the coast of Africa, 2 weeks into an 8 week trip. The food is ***** and my bed is 2” too small. 🤯

Still ….. could be worse 🥹
I am in verona at a wedding. 38 hours awake until 8.30 last night then crashed. The sleep was great. Italian coffee and croisaint incoming shortly, unfortunately so are 40 degree temps

Sorry to hear that exeterboro
 
Good to hear from you aet.
I hope that everyone of you on this thread has at least a half way decent day today.
 
I find writing about anything personal helps, gets things out of my head and into a different space. I’m ok at the moment, looking forward to QPR on Saturday and in a reasonable place mentally. Relationship not great at the moment, but no longer let things like that and work define me. The things that make some people content aren’t necessarily the same for other people, but tolerating and celebrating those differences are what works for me. Glad you’re reaching out AET and all the best with the counselling.
 
I’ve had better days.

Could go on. I won’t.
I'm sad, lost my lovely dog on Tuesday very suddenly and totally gutted about it....particularly as I work away so wasn't with family when it happened. Been a bit weird at work as I'm quite open with my emotions so spent most of yesterday Sat at my desk crying haha.

Other than that, looking forward to getting home in time for the Barnsley game next week 👍🏻

That's an interesting point, I already feel a bit better for sharing the stuff about my dog, I've kind of wanted to talk about it but have no one at work that I can share stuff with.

This is a good thread, best of luck on your journey AET, we are all rooting for you.
