Replying To AthCliath: " Fair play man, brave and honest post. Hope your doing well, . Mental health is so important , it has to be treated with the uttermost respect and given all the oxygen it needs to operate properly. Everything else pails into significance ,thankfully now its importance is being recognised . Your right Life is for Living. Everything is achievable and anything is possible with belief." So true your post struck a chord and thank you Dellboypolecat (Tyrone) - Posts: 15069 - 06/06/2016 22:12:02 1862525 Link

Replying To seanie_boy: "Ah Del I'd know idea you were affected to that extent by it. Glad to hear you are doin ok these days. There's not a person on here who wouldn't know somebody in their family or a friend who hasn't faced mental health issues. I'm just glad that each generation seems to be more willing to at least acknowledge and talk about it more. I've faced my own battles too,so I get it. Why were they giving you such a hard time was it in relation to you being a ref?" Yes seanie I was drepressed at the time but on lot of weight and was badly trolled after a county final I did over weight and personal life .got so bad Dellboypolecat (Tyrone) - Posts: 15069 - 06/06/2016 22:14:22 1862529 Link

Replying To cuederocket: "Jeez man,thats awful.As i said before on here,we don't know who's behind these posts,what kind of mental or physical health,financial worries,posters have.Dellboy,i have had problems as well.Big problems.And still do.Not through forums or social media (this is the only one ive ever been on) but other areas.Lets just say i had a wee slip up on Saturday and im in a jocker ever since." Keep at it Cue We're all capable of letting it slip but don't be hard on yourself, refocus and move on from it.. focusing on what's next, not on what happened Keep at it pal.. Good on you for your honesty, takes balls. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 06/06/2016 23:58:01 1862555 Link
Fair play to Del and others for being brave enough to come out and discuss. It's great to see and there should be more of it. We had Bressie in to talk to us in our workplace a few weeks ago about mental health and one thing he said really struck a chord with me. Basically he made the point that mental sickness should be viewed no differently than physical sickness. Like, if someone is diagnosed with cancer we can all talk openly and freely but with a mental health issue it is almost spoken of in hushed, embarrassed tones. Let's end the taboo for good so that the unfortunate people who are silently suffering can feel safe opening up and getting the help they need. The tide is turning but still far too slowly. But if more and more stories like yourselves can encourage others to seek help, then we are at least making steps in the right direction. Maith sibh go léir!

A shout out to an organisation called JIGSAW they deal with young peoples mental health , they came to our club and spoke to our minor/u16s and it was fantastic, as you can imagine it started off with the laughs chuckles of lads who struggle with serious topics at times , but the expertise of the talker soon got them involved in talking about mental illness , with the massive increase in self harm and worse it would do clubs no harm to check out this organisation or similar if possible .

No trouble at all Just keep at it Cue.. I know that feeling you currently have How I deal with it is to focus on the future, set my mind to good things that are coming up, if you need to plan a few things... then do that, plan to get out and about and enjoy some time out in the fresh air, see some nice things keep at it pal jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 07/06/2016 12:32:48 1862751 Link

Fairplay to Dell and Cue and anybody else here who I've missed for speaking up about their troubles, it certainly isn't an easy thing to do and sadly it can get the better of many people, genuinely fairplay lads and I hope you's can go from strength to strength.
