Hi all
I wanted to wait until Sept 10th which is world suicide awareness day.
(Coincidently the anniversary of my wedding to my ex wife lol)
I'm going through the mill at the minute with custody and surgery and thought there isn't really a set time to share.
I'm not ashamed to admit it was me in this video at the start/end (I was running late and look like I've been dragged through the club shop).

Did you know suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45! It's high regardless of sex.
This video also hits home.

For anyone that wasn't aware Forest do a programme called Tricky to Talk which i helped promote when it started. I was also the secretary of the Disabled Supporters Association. Link below to Tricky to Talk.

I've not been able to attend either of those, due to ongoing surgeries but I still feel its important to share with fellow fans.
There is still a taboo around mental health and its easy for us to brush it off and suffer in silence. Even if this message helps one person, or for someone here to share with a friend/family, then its worth it.
I'm not a staff member, and I'm posting this from a personal perspective for fellow reds.
I hope this is ok to post.
Up the shagging reds.
Mike
