Glad to see you posting this morning! You aren’t alone. I’ve said it before on here, but there are plenty of us who have experienced similar and come out the other side to better days. Hopefully you’ll turn a corner soon.

"It’s like having a reception area in your head. When you’re feeling great and have balance in your life, the negative thoughts stay in the reception area. But if you’re not feeling good, the thoughts get in and wreak havoc, gnawing away and debilitating you."
That was a quote from Fenners off Soccer AM who struggles with his mental health. I think it's a really good way of describing it. I know I can relate to what he's saying. Like you say you are conscious enough to know you have a good life from a logical point of view, but when these thought's creep in you lose sight of it. I can relate to that. The important thing is you talk about it with your loved ones. Even a post on here like you have, it all helps when you get it off your chest so you are already one step towards being on the mend.

Getting out of bed is a victory. Keep going and take each day as it comes. 4 years have passed for me since my darkest point. As everyone has said don’t apologise we’re all here for you and if you need to vent or just talk then we are here for you.

A lot of us have felt this way at one time or another
In those moments when everything seems so bleak you've just got to tell yourself that it will pass and things will get better. Hang in there and focus on how much you are loved by your little lad!

As others have said, no need to apologise. I hope you are in a better place soon. I hope my alcohol-fuelled replies last night didn't offend.

No. Not at all mate. I’m not easily offended (I did have to google Camus though). Thanks

So-so, thanks for asking. Trying to eat sensibly most of the time and exercising (swimming is my latest go to). I got to 50, and that's the new 40 or something...

Sorry to hear your in a bad place at the moment El Guapo.
I can't add anything to what's already been said.
Struggling a bit myself and the kind messages people on here have sent to you have helped me as well.
So thank you for starting this thread and I hope you get better soon.

Echoing what everyone else has said. We all love you Mr Guapo. A top poster and clearly a top bloke. We're all with you and rooting for you.

Don't think I could add much to the sentiment expressed by others, just to add a personal message of hope that things get better for you soon. Take care.
