sage reacted to uttoxram75 in Depression, anxiety, stress and other related issues
I have deliberately ignored this thread.
I didn't want to read it because I knew it would awake the demons going through my head.
I asked a fellow poster for advice and he suggested that it might help if I discussed it on here with fellow Rams.
There's some top people on this forum, I mean really intelligent, kind, sensible folk who love Derby County but also offer great advice and support to complete strangers. David asked me to be a Mod on here and I was humbled because I'd never done owt like this before but I hope I am a fair bloke who understands when people need to vent and know the difference between Derby fans and trolls who come on here to slag our beautiful football club off.
I have been through some serious stress over the last year or two and its made me think. I always thought I'm the one to cope with everything, I have three younger brothers who I think I should look after, I am a shift manager who has responsibility for over 120 people at work every day, but I reached a personal limit when me Dad passed away last year. I was sorting everything out for everyone when I suddenly hit a wall. It was like wow...I can't cope, wtf, I really went down hill and I felt I couldn't talk to any one. I'm known as the the rock, the one to go to by family and friends, and all of a sudden I felt useless.
I fought my way through it and I'm OK now but I have absolute top respect for anyone who has the courage to share their issues with us all. I am ashamed that I never thought it took real bravery to share your deepest concerns.
Thanks @Alpha

People in pubs that talk to their mates at a volume that everyone in the pub can hear. Gobshites.

sage reacted to Eddie in Beer Thread
I used to brew a lot of beer myself (all-grain, don't get me started because once I get going, talking about refractometers, alpha acids and sparging I can bore for my country).
Well, to cut a long story short, my wife was digging around in the spare bedroom an hour ago and she said "Do you know there are a couple of dozen bottles of beer under the bed?"
I didn't. I thought it was just a couple of hundred empty 500 ml bottles, but I checked and there's more like 4 dozen full bottles amongst them.
So I opened one - a dark Belgian-style Dubbel (at one time I used to brew with Westmalle yeast) with an ABV of around 9%. A cautious sniff after uncapping indicated no acidic aromas so nothing ventured, nothing gained, I poured a little out and took a sip.
It's utterly fantastic - smooth and rounded like a really nice port wine.

In light of @angieram's recent thread on the main forum, I'd just like to say a belated personal thank you for the above reply.
I've kind of clung onto your message of this too will pass, whether or not that was your intention I'm not sure, but it's been helpful nonetheless.

One of the pupils at school asked me what I knew about midgets.
I replied 'very little'.
