Youngy228 1,444 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Feel a little strange posting this but just wanted to thank all the members for their contributions to the site. Been struggling for the last 2 years. Often go to bed on a night wondering whether it would just be easier to stay asleep. When i do wake up and try to pretend everything is ok and go to work as normal this forum is a genuine source of escape for me. Thanks to all. #UTFB 12 24 Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes life smacks us in the face…things seem impossible, but they aren’t. If there is anything I can do to help or if you just need to talk, please dm me. I’ve not contributed much over the last year, I’ve been through the mill, but I still check out this forum every day and I agree, it’s cathartic and there is a real sense of community. look after yourself UTFB 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to all. #UTFB Life's a lot like supporting Boro, it's not easy and indeed is often painful and difficult and you wonder why you bother sometimes. The hard times don't last forever (1986), there are cup runs and promotions interspersed with those relegations and Pulis ball. Every so often along comes a Charlton, a Rioch, a Robson or a Karanka and life suddenly seems a lot better. Granted those good times don't last but neither do the bad ones and before you know it they are all consigned to the past. Better things do come along and like Boro there will be a Wilder effect soon and usually when you least expect it. Massive respect to you for coming on here and putting it out there! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

A good kind person would be @Uwe solid chap and worth talking to. After reading your op realise how petty so many of us are at times and how poorly we often interact with other forum members, I for one will try and improve that aspect 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Looking after your mental health is incredibly important, so I'm glad this forum is a positive place for you to visit, @Youngy228, even with idiots like me and @Changing Times on here! Take life day by day, create small goals and most importantly, don't let the *** grind you down! 🙂 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 @Youngy228 While you’re posting in your toilet/bedroom/lounge etc it’s easy to feel alone. Believe me when I say that’s not the case you are important and would be missed by so many people. Stay strong King 💪 @BillyWoofs_shinpad & @Youngy228 I honestly believe we are social creatures and benefit greatly from actual human interaction face to face. I’m up Boro for the Coventry game would love to meet for a beer/coffee//food just to put the human element into this forum. The offer stands for all of this forum just drop me a line👍 Chris 3 Link to post Share on other sites

There’s always an open invitation to private message me if you want to have a bitch about some of the divvys on here…or anything else of course 👍🏻 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure there are some other folks on here in similar positions and I know for a fact there are many across the country who are also struggling. God knows I have days where I wonder why I bother (with anything). You are a great contributor to the forum and you've been brilliant at organising the Predictions League. This forum would definitely be a poorer place without you. Would like to echo the offer some others have made. If you ever feel like you need to get something off your chest, feel free to DM me. A problem shared is a problem halved (or so they say). 2 Link to post Share on other sites

boksicdink 1,937 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 You are a big part of this community mate! You aren't alone in any of this so keep your head up, take things one day at a time and take every little small win and build off of that. Feel free to PM me too and always remember that we value you and your contributions! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
