So make it active... I don't think we need another group when there is already one.

Yep, read this. Very sad R.I.P

It looks beautiful there, you will love it. I would love to go one day!

This would be the best thing to happen in English football. This would bring back so much atmosphere to the game. It would also bring back a lot of members who only go to away games because the lack of atmosphere at home games. I was embarrassed at times being at the bridge, even sitting in the Matthew Harding Lower where everyone around me just sat there and didn't sing anything. I would attempt to start chants and the odd person here and there would join in but not everyone. When chants did get going we would get quickly shut down by the stewards who would make us sit down. I understand that they have a job to do but it's fucking annoying.

I actually saw my doctor the other day, and she said i'm going good enough to slowly come of my medication Pretty happy with that. That was the first time I saw her since i have been back from overseas and she said to me she cannot believe my improvement! Thank you for your message!

Congratulations Jim, top effort! Thanks to everyone that makes the forum what it is today. I remember the day of the old forum, can't believe its been this long already. Lets keep up the good work everyone!

Player most like: John Terry mixed with some Drogs (100% not racist)

I thought Cahill and John teamed up really well the other night! Gary did a great last ditch tackle as well which could of resulted in a goal scoring opportunity! Get the lad in i say!

Which he received warnings for, and was warned about his position on the forum... This is not the first time these other members have done such a thing.

I hope you are doing better mate! Everyone tells you that you will get over it but if only it was that simple! Fight on my friend and you will win! That is something i told myself everyday for a whole year! "I will Win!" Yes you are right, depression is taken to lightly in some cases and i agree that more need to be done to prevent it. Not so much preventing it but preventing situations that might happen after. It's not really something you can stop unfortunately. Also Thank you for the kind words! It can be very off and on but once you are in a serious state its hard to think about anything else besides the wrongs in your life. That's where you need to fight and just keep looking forward and find positives about life, and there is so many out there!! Thank you mate! I more shared it to help others, because i know its something so many people deal with and struggle to come out and talk about but its absolutely the best thing you can do. Talking about the issues with anyone is better then bottling it inside! Thank you Layla!! I'm doing much better!

Thank you mate, i honestly means a lot to me! That story is really nice to read. Thanks again!

Congratulations Kez

If you need to talk about anything mate! Send me a PM!

Thank you mate! It was great to meet you also! I am also going to try and start posting a lot more!

It honestly is and until people actually go through it they wont actually know unless they have close friends or family who deal with it. That said, I pray some day a cure is found to help with these chemical imbalances in the brain because no one deserves to suffer with the stuff that went through mine and so many others heads on a daily basis.

Also thank you everyone for your replies, I appreciate it! To be honest, I actually started one of these threads about 9 months ago, to see if anyone else was dealing with it. I ended up deleting it and only one person saw it and that was Zolayes who messaged me every so often to see how I was doing! I thank you for that mate

It was extremely hard for me at the start. I did not really know what was going on, all i know i was beating myself up on a daily basis which was really not good! I had my first major panic attack at the Casino here in Melbourne watch Spain V Netherlands World Cup Final... I could never figure out why... After time I knew what was triggering it and it was not just the easy answer, it was a build up of a lot of things. For example losing out in my dream to play football professionally with my knee injury, I was about to start trials with professional clubs here in Australia. So to answer you question, they helped for a little bit maybe 3 to 4 sessions but after that, to me personally i thought they were just making me worse. I did not want to think about the bad things that have happened in my life and there has been a fair few things that have happened. So i decided on my own to stop seeing them. Some people told me it was a bad idea at the time but to me i would prefer to talk to my friends and family about it instead of speaking to a complete stranger who does not know me in the slightest. They might be professionals in there own field but i think seeing them is not for everyone. If you know what is going on in your mind you will eventually find a way to overcome it! Fighters are Winners! Carefree!!

Thank you mate!

So I was wondering, this might be a touchy subject for some but how many people on this forum had/have depression in a serious state. I can personally say I have had this illness and it is not something I wish upon my worst enemy, it is such a terrible psychological disorder that haunts a lot of people. For me it sent me crazy, I was seeing a councillor and a psychologist about it. At one stage as little as 1 year ago I was suicidal and thought about it far too often, I do not tell many people about it because it was such a dark time in my life but I can gladly say I have come such a long way in such a short period of time. So many people around the world suffer from this disorder on a daily basis and live with it for most of there lives. The main thing that kept me going was my love for Chelsea and my friends and family. I also would look at things in the world, for example wars and poverty. It made me see that there was so many worse things happening in the world. My trip around the world helped a lot but before I left, every night for about 6 months I would have serious panic attacks that would leave me in tears. It's not easy and even now I still have my bad days. I have been on medication for around a year now, and with out it I don't know where i would be. I don't really like taking it but it's something that I had to do in the end. Just thought it would be interesting to see if any others on the forum have had these problems in there life. Also if there is anything I might be able to do to help I would be more then welcome to try and help.

Congratulations to Tomo-91 who is member of the month for October!
