Too be honest I have tried to keep away from the football as much as I can, so i'd say no.

Anyone here experience a lack of vibrancy (mental clarity) and/or feelings of general numbness/dis-attachment/dis-association (with life) as a result of depression? Like a thick brain fog that you can almost feel in your head. As initially - weeks ago - I suspected I had some sort of virus etc. But now i'm beginning to believe it's just another devilish symptom of depression
That's quite a common symptom of depression mate.
Google " brain fog and have a read " ( not a wum ).
Lots of health professionals don't believe it exists similar to M.E.
However from personal experience I'd say it one hundred per cent it exists.
From what I've read its chemicals in the brain not working as they should do.
Horrendous and quite debilitating .

Thanks mate! I'll suss it out. From your experience, did it just clear up naturally over time or?
I still suffer from it, but nowhere as badly as years ago, when the mornings were horrendous, lack of energy, unable to think properly, didn't want to talk to anyone, no appetite etc
Mine was / is linked to anxiety, which in turn causes insomnia.
It's not fully understood what causes it, hence why some health care priffessionals refuse to believe it exists.
Read up on it, there's a quite a bit you can do to lessen it - diet, etc, but it's all hit and miss, so make take quite a while before you notice any difference .

My lads are taking me out tomorrow for a meal for a fathers day treat. Think I might indulge myself and 
so if i'm on here next day moaning, woe is me, feel free to lay in to me. Hey you can use me as one of those piñata things, a kind of group therapy, that would be fun, well not for me obviously lol
Just remembered, the doctor in the hospice tried to explain how they arrive at their expectancy figures. She said they take an average, so if they think between 1 and 4 months they use 1 to 2 months. No I don't understand either but on the plus side I have possibly another 4 months but then could be 1 month which has gone 2 months ago ?????????????? waiting game as usual hey? Have fun

At the end of the meal, when they've paid tell them all "thanks my treat next Fathers Day"
Keep fighting mate

@Chipshill read that you had cancer, this is the first time I have heard mention of it after asking everyone. how long have you had it? how did you cope? how did the chemo affect you? loads of things i'd be interested in knowing.
Looking forward to my meal later even tho I think it's only to get drunk and not feel any pain today.

Spending the day with my daughter today and then popping round to see my dad and Mam for dinner with her.
Lads, great feeling to wake up and have my daughter come padding into the room for a cuddle.
We're now watching Barbie Princess - and I'm very happy to do so.

There are two pieces of music by a band called Kodaline that epitomise how this last 18 months has felt for me. Understandably, the first is very reflective about the 'loss'I have been through and the 'grief' that has resulted from that.
The second is a song that I've only recently heard - and it's far more positive. It's still very reflective and somewhat melancholy, but there's a defiance there and I hope that it really resonates with a lot of members here.
We're not alone. Don't let life pass you by. Don't try and do everything on your own.
This forum has never let me feel alone.
