OCUK mental health over Christmas

This would be good to be a sticky thread during the current climate.

Well done Macca

No one reads the sticky threads

Let it bounce around the front page for a few days then we’ll sticky it

Have a great day all

Fantastic thread, and like others have said if anyone needs an ear to yell at, you can have both of mine a I never use them anyway.

Merry Christmas everyone

Well, it’s quite possibly my last Christmas, and I’m finding it tough as I don’t even have my health to enjoy it.

So sorry to hear that. I read your thread, hope you enjoy this Christmas and wish you all the best.

Just to add the Andys Man Club link;

ANDYSMANCLUB are real, non judgmental, talking groups for men. We are the creators of the viral #ITSOKAYTOTALK movement

"Our overall aim is to halve the number of suicides in men Under 45. I know that's a massive task, but it's something to strive for. Even if we only manage a quarter - we will have done something amazing."

Great Thread.... Any Fellow vets out there that need a little extra this time of year it’s worth checking out this site if you are struggling.

You are right, I just found this...

As a veteran with PTSD, I know how important it is to have something positive to focus on.

Great thread and thank you for posting. I will just add that if anybody is rock bottom, feel free to message me. Get it off your back. Talk about it. I've been really suffering, to the point I was suicidal a while back. It's really made me reprioritise things, but you CAN improve. You just need to give it time.
