Mental health and everyday challenges.

I will start the blog again by saying I hope anyone who clicks on the Scrumthing To Think about Facebook page feels as though they can talk about how they are feeling and find the links and resources helpful. I think at times people who suffer from depression or anxiety feel as though they cannot talk about it as people will judge them indeed the question which has been in my mind in the past does it define me? When I was younger I struggled to deal with depression, the feelings of anger and embarrassment were strong and I feel when making decisions it clouded my judgment and it strangled me at the same time. I think as I have got older I have built a resistance to self-doubt and I have a process to combat those feelings.

One aspect I do struggle with and have of late is I can be in a really happy environment whether it be an occasion or such but I can still have a feeling of emptiness or that I have to do something better, It is as if I am constantly questioning myself. How do I deal with this? I throw myself into rugby, preparing sessions, planning for the game on Saturday, help develop players. All of this helps me, it helps me focus. Going forward I am challenging myself to try and push the negative feelings to one side and concentrate on the positives, it’s not easy and a constant challenge but I will keep doing it.

Special mention to my partner I am very lucky to have someone as special as her who is there for me every minute of the day and If I didn’t have her life would be so much harder. Again if these blogs help anyone or they find something helpful I am happy. If anyone wants to get in touch then please feel free to do so.
