Just a reminder that I know there is a lot of banter.
Banter is great. Thats just being British.

Some stuff gets a bit over the top.

Some posters wake up just to aggravate.
Most of us put our guard up.

Lets all be mindful and thoughtful that there are those that are posting do have mental health issues.

That is so true, a great example of my understanding of this was my amazing mega post "Come on England" where we raised a total of £150 which was donated to the charity "Andy mans club" nominated by @Dec27. Obviously it was all down to me but I am not looking for recognition in any way I just played the biggest part in a way that only I could pull off. Proving that this forum operates better when posters conduct themselves in an appropriate way, I self moderated that thread and look at it's success. Anyways I look for no recognition of this fact,

I support mental health any opportunity I get. This forum isn’t what it used to be. I’m trying to spend less here and move away. Not permanently, but it’s a bit like a bad habit

Its a shame a lot of people use mental health as an excuse, that ruins it for anyone genuine.

And then I find myself looking to bicker somedays, which isn’t like me, but I can’t help it in the GD.

I’m going to do my absolute best not to post in the new section. In fact @MoD could you ban me from that section if possible please?

I find coming on here and having a banter, a laugh, a wind up can help if I am feeling down.

I do suffer with anxiety and depression and I know others on here do too.

I am glad I know you guys on here. Some good, kind, friendly and caring guys on here.

I admit that I sometimes say the wrong thing. I do wind some people up. But, I never mean for it to hurt anyone. It's only banter.

Mental health can be extremely difficult to live with. Good that we can open up on these forums and get support.

I applaud you all......

Its not far off the race card or ''Im Dyslexic.''

That said I think social media is at the root of the growing mental health I see.

I was mental long before the health part got added.

I think I am to blame for a lot of people being so frequent on here, a lot keep coming on to here just to read my posts and to get tips and hints from me on a daily basis. I am a magnet and crowd puller which is great for the site but bad for some who had lives before me. I also have to live with this burden. I put the site before my life as I do not want to let people down.
