    Depression

    in The General Nonsense Forum

    Posted

    Apologies if this sounds cuntish but 2019 has been the best year for me since I acknowledged my issues. Certainly not flawless and I have a way to go but I feel like I’m back in control. It’s hard work but I’m absolutely fine with that.

    It’s brilliant reading others stories in here and can’t wait to see more success stories in 2020.

    Yours, a slightly drunk dons fan.

    Long may it continue mate

    Have a good one, all of you. We aren’t alone. We have family, friends, hell we even have each other on this thread. I appreciate the fact I can come in here and almost rant the load off my mind when I’m struggling, thank you all for this. Have a great 2020, just not when any of you are playing falkirk but ;)

    Mental heath referrals on the NHS are dreadful, it took me 3 months to get referred to a volunteer CBT therapist when I first went to the doctor. Pretty shocking although hopefully it’s improved since then.


    Was suggested to go to the week one charity as they can offer services for a nominal fee. Not sure if it’s group CBT or one on one.

    Apologies if you’ve been asked before, but are you getting treated for this?



    I’m waiting for my referral to be processed as we speak, not heard anything back yet. I had just been going along with no treatment which was never a wise thing to do in hindsight. I expect the appointment letter to be through in the first couple of weeks of January.

    Been struggling a bit recently, lack of sleep due to nightmares. Sadly a downside to PTSD, always very vivid recollections of incidents I’ve responded too in the prison I.e. suicide attempts, serious assaults and GBH, assaults on myself. It takes its toll and just taking each day as it comes. One thing that helps when I’ve had a shit sleep is hearing “daddy I waked up” from my 3 year old girl. She’s the reason I left the service as I didn’t want to carry home that stress, sadly I still am and have come to terms that whilst I no longer work there that it still took a part of me. Stupidly part of me wants to go back when I graduate but I know this would not be productive. Christ, through all the stress I miss it. But guess that’s institutionalisation for you, not just prisoners that get it...

     

     

    ETA: I think what’s not helping is it is coming up to the three year anniversary of my grandpas death, he died prematurely at 68, we were very close and he was also the reason I joined the service.

    I’m genuinely unsure of what your point is here. I’m saying that fans should speak out against rapists being employed by their club.


    This, firstly while I do believe everyone deserves a second chance another poster hit the nail on the head by saying but not in a privileged position such as professional footballer.

    Secondly, we are a family orientated club with a significant female support too, what message does that send to the female supporters of the club? He has still be found guilty, albeit civil and not criminal.

    As much as he is a good footballer, morality has much more weighting in life(in my opinion) but no doubt goals and potential money will sway the decision as to whether or not he does come (provided there is any substance to the rumour)

    Just as this year's pantomime season starts to draw to a close, BT Sport are introducing their own year-round panto season with bringing the WWE "exclusively" to our screens.  This is the same BT Sport who didn't see the continuation of covering Scottish football as being worth the bid from next season.  Will be cancelling BT Sport when this season ends.


    To be fair to BT they didn’t increase their bid, but did offer the SFA the same bid plus operating VAR and the SFA opted for sky.

    You homed in on a well reasoned argument there Tulloch however can’t help thinking that it’s time for us all to draw a line under what is now an historic legal case & move on.
    Personally speaking & purely from a team perspective I would prefer that we went after the centre midfielder at Clyde who in the match at Broadwood ran the show 
     


    I’m not sure who that was, but I know that Clyde having the lovely reputation that they do have a racist in their ranks too. So if it’s Ally Love I’d rather not sign him after he racially abused another player a couple of seasons ago (May have been last).

    Hygiene routine

    in The General Nonsense Forum

    I don’t have specs and can’t be fucked with hair gel, but generally this. Might change it about occasionally by brushing my teeth before I sit on the lavvy. 
    To the OP - why charcoal? A nice vegan lady at my work told me that coconut oil was the stuff for clean teeth. Needless to say I haven’t done it yet, but still, knowledge is power.
    I just noticed this guy shaves after the shower. I shave before the shower. Then your mirror isn’t all steamed up and any leftover bits of shaving foam get washed off.



    The charcoal powder is designed to whiten the teeth, you use it every day for the first two weeks then drop down to every third day.

    Inspired by bathroom habits;

     

    Do you guys have any particular hygiene quirks about? For me it’s shampoo then condition my hair then beard. Charcoal face wash, then body wash. After I’m dried it’s teeth brushed with charcoal every third day and every day in between with toothpaste And moisturising after every shower.

     

    She says I’m mad and I’m inclined to agree.

    That I would love to say would’ve changed the game, I do think it’s just over, but at 0-0 there’s nothing to say had that been given it wouldn’t have changed the flow of the game. It happened so close to our goal that we wouldn’t have would up 2-0 up. Instead it would still have been 1-0.

    Durnans error that led to the penalty was again totally avoidable. I say this again as on reflection a draw was a fair score.

    That post of yours that got deleted was truly terrifying btw.


    Mate tell me about it, in three and a half years out of my service as a prison officer and phase three responder and i still get haunted regularly from it.

    Wee things like trying to maintain a brief social media life to connect with friends and family with constant friend requests from sex offenders (who I primarily worked with).

    That night my mrs phoned I had to take the work van back home mid shift to make sure she got to her friends with the wee one ok as she couldn’t bare to stay in the house. Honestly man, it’s been a fucking nightmare.

    I know that I should’ve known what I was signing up for, and I did, I just didn’t think it would come to haunt me years after leaving and trying to build a new life and leave me still looking over my shoulder.
