A thread to log your emotional state, feelings or to just vent.
Let’s talk it out bros.
I’m in a good place mentally tho I am one of those folks that will never talk about problems or admit something is wrong and my Gf reckons It’s the reason I am so impatient and lash out when little things piss me off.

Your auto spell really pisa’s me off
Don’t I know it. Still here for you pal. This latest cry for help has not gone unnoticed.
I’m looking for a new place to live and beginning to feel vexed at the process.
Much like my online persona (bland some might say) I live in a quiet a happy medium. The highs never get too high and the lows never too low. I often found dressing rooms quiet awkward when fellas would get worked up roaring and shouting before a game. Similarly I never got too down about losing a game. I would be very disappointed for an hour or two but would be able to put it behind me after that.
I’ve been lucky to have not yet lost anyone too close to me so I don’t really know what true bereavement is like. I’ve experienced others very close to me going through it and it seems like hell.
I don’t dwell on the past and rarely worry about the future which has it’s drawbacks aswell as it’s advantages.
I will talk to anybody about anything but like @Mark Renton I would rarely talk about myself especially my problems*
[SIZE=3]*I realise the the irony of that statement[/SIZE]
I’m looking forward to the input of the following posters to this thread:

The Three Fs* are the key to keeping me sane
Fixies

I’m after wasting two hours watching man of steel…two hours I’ll never get back…
Other than that I’m pretty good…

I’m more like you than you think.
I use this forum what Renton has set up this thread for.
I am pretty open though. I don’t worry as much about my mistakes. I was adopted and I think it has shaped my life both positively an negatively throughout.
So was I lad…gives you a thicker skin so to speak…
That and my old lad being in a wheelchair since he was 22 and his attitude to it also shaped me. I always felt my problems were only small problems, even before I traveled.
Adoption does create a lot of questions though. Many have been answered, but not all.
Chocolatemice used this place a lot to vent. He is far more relaxed these days.
Will you tell him I was asking for him?
Will do, pal.
i miss him .
Im in a good place today
I expect this to alter greatly over the weekend due to consumption of alchol and possibly narcotics, i aM going to try and combat the effects of same by exercising like mad…

Bloody hell mate. You’ve had a lot going on. Fair play to you.
One of my big realisations in recent years was that, while I have fixations which cause me a lot of problems, I actually have it pretty good in comparison to others.
I am in a better place than I have ever been. I only hope it lasts. Having a kid gives a different perspective in life and a new set of worries.
Anxiety was always my issue. It has nearly left me now completely thankfully apart from the few days after a binge of drink and even those are rare now. I went out with a girl for a few years back in my late teens who suffered badly with depression, I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.
There were bad days in stress-full job where I didn’t sleep for days on end. That will never happen me again.
Age and experience brings wisdom.

People often have that reaction, but when you grow up with something you know no better really and it was never an issue. The wheelchair thing was funny in a way, cos when we were young it was almost a novelty. I became incredibly good in the chair doing tricks and all that and it was also a free ticket into the sideline at Munster Championships and All Ireland’s! Silly when you look back as an adult, but kids look at things simply I suppose.
The adoption was never an issue (I actually felt lucky) until my birth mother came looking. Then it got complicated and the questions started to surface. As you get near or consider your own family they grow even more. I avoided a lot of the questions that were clearly there and drank and partied them away from 23-27/28. But they never go away. I think I’ve matured a lot emotionally and also professionally since then and it helps figure out a lot of stuff.
