My depression blog by ex-professional footballer.

[Howfootballruined]

When I started the blog I had three things in mind.
- To raise awareness of mental health/depression in men.
- To raise awareness of mental health/depression in professional football.
- To aid my recovery if at all possible.

To help continue raising awareness I have started a page on facebook. If you could take time to like and share my original blog post posted on there I would be immensely grateful. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the positive messages Suzi/Paula. I am reading the forum and when I get myself in a better place I intend to contribute a lot more.

Not a good day but I am trying at least.

It's great that you have been put in contact with someone who could help. I'm really pleased for you.

I have been quiet lately but it's there stalking me. I'm on the brink of a crippling down period. This is my first blog for a month. The catalyst is insomnia and rejection.

As always I really appreciate any feedback and interaction, good or bad.

Bits. In total bits.

To those who have sent me personal messages I will reply I due course. Thanks a lot.

My children have had to cope with my ill health, and they have. My approach was to be honest with them (age appropriate ) so they understood what was happening. And they're brilliant at dealing with it all

It's a good thing that you are aware of it. Hang on in there lovely x
