So many of the OG's here know when i was becoming a father for the first time i had a few mental health issues like depression & anxiety. It was such a huge responsibility and when i found out i moved out of my parents into our own home, i quit smoking after 17 years and started to vape and i didn't realize that those mental health problems are so easily re-triggered.
In the last 2 years my family have had to suffer 4 family members deaths quite quickly, 2 being to cancer, my lovely neighbor who my daughter freya adored also lost 2 childhood friends to suicide 1 being literally 4 weeks ago. The past 3-4 months the depression, anxiety, low confidence/self belief took a hit and even death thoughts started to come to mind. Which is also a reason behind me stopping streaming which i did with my good buddy Kyle93 to raise funds for Mind.org.uk the mental health charity (ironic i know ) which we completely smashed out of the park raising almost £5,000 in 2 years from just a handful of streams. Hopefully some day i can make a comeback to TTG and streaming as i loved both We've just got back from a lovely family holiday to Bulgaria, Nessebar, Aqua Paradise Resort where i got to spend a full week with my family and actually enjoy life more with them and open up to them how i've been feeling for a while now. It's helped me massively, i can't tell you how elated i am now. This is not a cry for help, nor is it for sympathy. This is simply a " IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK" Post, if you are suffering mental health issues then speak up and reach out! Mental health doesn't have a cure but the medication is speaking up and having people that listen! I feel like now im in a much better place mentally compared to the last few months. It takes time to heal it doesn't happen over night, just be patient with it <3 This pic was taken 2 days ago with my amazing daughter Freya in Bulgaria, for the first time in over 4 months...that is not a fake smile on my face! https://i.imgur.com/QYUIEUF.jpg Maze this is for you, holiday photo album Forums/p=40803847.html#40803847 |

Glad to hear you're doing some better man. Good luck on your path.
I know how it can be. My partner and I have also lost too much of our immediate family in the past few years. It's rough and hurts like ****. Hopefully you can catch a break from these misfortunes for a while and focus on healing. It sucks when you're slowly climbing back up that ladder and it all gives way. I'd like to say feel free to hit me up if you want to talk, but I'm not really in a place to do so yet. Anyway, you're not alone in your pain. All the best https://www.thetechgame.com/images/chat/smiles/cool008.gif |
