I hope I’m not the only woman on here—probably not. Just not sure how active this place is. Just hoping this is another place to talk Everton and other things. I’m new here.

I think you may be in the wrong part of the forum ?

If you want to talk about crap, go in the Ale House, talk about Everton, go in the main forum etc

Ps - There’s a new signings section if you want to introduce yourself there

Thread 'Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven'

September 7, 2021

Hi I'm @messymascot aka Karl. I was diagnosed with a cancer called mesothelioma in 2019 after nearly 10 years of illness. Unfortunately this is an incurable type of cancer which is caused by asbestos exposure. I'm now entering the final stages as the cancer has grown and is starting to cause complications. Anyone who regularly visits the mental illness and depression thread is probably aware of parts of this story.

Anyways onto the thread title. Several members who visit the above thread, which I can't endorse highly enough both the thread and the regular visitors, wanted to get...

It is awesome to see. With my deepest darkest recesses of depression, sometimes the kind words of someone you've never met, or likely to can raise the spirits.

I commented a while back with my troubles, dual diagnosis. Well.last week I celebrated 90 days clean. Anyone battling addiction, what has saved me is my support support group, narcotics anonymous. Also with my depression I have been regularly attending therapy with a psychotherapist. The treatment programme is Acceptance commitment therapy. I've managed to half my meds, Venlaflaxine to 75mg per day.

Well done mate, keep it up

On here less than 24hrs, already depressed. Definitely an Evertonian.

Two more days until the weekend. We can do it. The possibility of three Everyon wins in a row.

Has anyone else tried to give up smoking, ringing up smoke free Liverpool tomorrow. Not sure smoking does my mental health any good. Irritable without a smoke, but at same time it doesn't do anything for your health smoking.

Good luck pal, I've lost two of my very best friends to smoking related diseases over the last few years.
No one should ever underestimate the damage that smoking does, not just a bad habit but a deadly one sadly.

Speak to your GP. I agree with the post above I’ve seen so many people die of lung related diseases - but I don’t think mentioning that here is that helpful, it’s a guilt driven approach, nicotine addiction breaks my heart how the government tax and supply this outrageous drug.

There is plenty of peer support for giving it up mate and I swear I’m praying for you to knock it on the head, you can do it. Please just ask your GP first, they are the gateway to the services.

Our local health authority, Cambs and Peterborough, has a Stop Smoking Service which provides support, advice and medication. It might be worth enquiring if there is something similar in your area. Best of luck with quitting.

Sometimes the most difficult step is the very first one. And you’ve done it, mate. You knew you had to change habits but, more importantly, you made that call. Now you’re going to be surrounded with the help, encouragement, and tools to accomplish your goals. You’ll do it. Might take time. Might have some bumps in the road. But I bet this time next year the stories you’ll be telling us will be those to celebrate
