    As this is the honest and open thread, we’ve been trying....2 years now. Tests in March to see why nothing has happened, hoping it’s down to my health and nothing serious.

    Sticking this in here. Not posting my backstory again. 
    4 months ago it was a challenge to drag me off the sofa to go to the corner shop.
    Yesterday I got back from what was a 7hr road trip back from Edinburgh with my now fiancé and today just completed a 7hr tattoo session.
    Blows my mind just thinking where I was and where I am.
    The sleeve has real meaning throughout, and with 3hrs left to complete the cloud fillers I’m feeling a tad emotional shall we say thinking how far I’ve come. 
    Some pics are on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter (day82_) of it wrapped for those that I bore on there, will post the finished sleeve on the 28th.....day before this forums birthday, forum which has been a huge part of my life/recovery thanks to you horrible lot.
    For anyone that’s struggling, don’t be afraid to talk, and don’t be afraid to see the doctor. For years I was too proud, too stubborn, too scared to see the doctor, I had visions of medication zombiefying me, told the doc my fears and the only way I can explain it is....I’m now me, the real me.
    It’s ok to not be ok, but don’t settle for not being ok and drowning in male pride, life’s too short to scramble your way through it. My PM’s are always open.

    It's a great thread. 
    The problem with talking to friends and family is illustrated by this thread.
    There isn't one person who knows all the coping mechanisms. 
    Trying to say how you feel is much harder than writing it down. 
    When people spill it out in this thread it resonates with some folks but not others. But seeing someone spill their thoughts and seeing others pick up the pieces is quite a special thing. It's a beautiful thread. An utterly fecking miserable and heartbreaking kind of beauty. 
    I'd like to think there's enough people knocking around here to help those that need an team talk.

    Just reading this thread for the first time.
    big congratulations mate abd obviously seeing the more recent updates hope things all go ok 
    one things for sure the health service seem to be pretty thorough when it comes to babies so they just like to check everything so hopefully the recent scans are just precautionary 
    when it comes to parenting my biggest advice is just remember your a team 
    I won’t lie it does test ur relationship, me and the have been together for like 17 years (I know, she’s had my best years lol) 
    Prior to kids I think we had like 2 cross words/ arguments in the first 12 years lol... now they’re daily lol
    if life is a rollercoaster then kids just make those lows a little bit lower but the highs are infinitely higher 
    u just have to remember tiredness makes even the most Laid back person a bit more uptight and there’s a bigger picture here and u have to be prepared to let some things go
    oh ... and you’ll deffinitly end up feeling like a packhorse fetching and carrying lol
    me and my mate joke,
    the words “can u just” will be etched on my brain and gravestone forever lol
    but joking aside it’s ace .... and hard work at the same time lol

    Thank you for the kind words again everyone it truly means a lot to me and the mrs! An update on the rollercoaster  of emotions is as my messages last week there was fluid under the babies skin which shouldn't have been there so we had to go to grottingham on Thursday  for a CVS,  the experts had a scan before the test and I quote "we don't really know why you were sent here as at the minute everything seems to be fine, the down syndrome risk came back as 1 in 1668 which is good so they've told us to assume everything is normal and we need to go.back at the  beginning of January for another scan to see what's what. To say I was a mess this last week was an understatement (so much so I was odd work sick) but this news was amazing and means at least until next month we can carry on as normal and enjoy christmas. ?

    Box junctions.
    ducking hell, people, don't enter the thing unless the exit is clear. Just don't.
    I am sick of Bamfords blocking the traffic because they are too selfish / stupid to use a box junction properly.

    I’d beat and not just beat, I’d knock all of these wusses out with one hand behind my back. One after the other. You can even make Eddie Hearn the referee to make it fair for them because I’m generous.

    I'm not usually one to let things get the better of me, but I really am stressed at the minute. I've let myself fall behind with my work at uni, and there's so much of it that there really isn't much time to catch up on it before I have to start revising for January exams. It doesn't help that I absolutely hate the vast majority of my degree, especially now that I've recently seen a potential career opportunity that has absolutely nothing to do with Law. 
    Not good.
    Edit: I realise that those last two words sound pathetic compared to the genuine struggles of some in here.

    Sorry for lack of replies to other people who have quoted me, a few days  ago my fiancée rang me at work to say she was bleeding, we have an emergency scan booked in for Friday (how the duck it can be an emergency and wait 5 days from booking is beyond me) but it’s not looking great, either way I’m sure I’ll get to be a ‘proper’ dad one day. I love my stepdaughter to the end of the earth but to be able to say ‘I made him/her’ is all I’ve ever wanted. I wasn’t sure whether to post this in here or the depression thread but the not knowing until Friday is properly killing me. Either way I just want to know for closure if nothing else.

    I disagree with a lot of what you’ve said in that post, but this is the thing I have the biggest issue with. Of course, they haven’t spent their whole lives dedicated to boxing, but they’ve been living the lives of professional boxers for months now. No drinking, eating properly, training multiple times a day and getting in serious shape. I know very little about boxing so I won’t have any idea of the standard they’re at, but I do know that they’ve both worked extremely hard for this. It’s all anyone is talking about on YouTube at the minute.

    Just want to make a quick point whilst i think about it because i believe this to be VERY important.
    Yesterday, looking back at my activity on the forum i was probably at my wittiest (if i do say so myself) and seemingly happiest.
    This couldn't be further from the truth.
    I spent most of the day waiting on a phone call from my Mum as my Grandma was in hospital getting results from some tests. All day i was in another world with worry. This forum, in particular the Paddy Padster thread was a huge outlet for me in which i genuinely enjoyed in the midst of worry.
    There isn't a particularly happy ending to the day either as it seems the results showed cancer. The rest of the day was a blur of giving support and trying to process the news for myself.
     
    I suppose the message is... You really don't know what is going on at the other side of peoples computer screens, so try and be nice to each other.
     
    Also, i suppose i should offer a bit of thanks to @David . For giving us this outlet. However, i must stress, this is the only thing you're good for.
  22. Cheers

    Maybe advice is a bad word..: more hints and tips? I will thoroughly admit I’ve ‘half arsed’ a lot in life, I half arsed school, I’ve hard arsed previous relationships, heck I’ve even been guilty of half arsing it with Derby at times! but one thing I completely refuse to half arse is being a parent! Everything you guys can recommend is greatly appreciated because whilst very baby is different something might be suggested in here that I’d never think of. Many thanks to everyone again for their hints and tips ?.
