Seen a couple of them so far mate, it's a bit of a vicious circle at the moment, need to get out and exercise more, which I had started doing, but then the plantar fasciitis and gout seemed to return as I did. Got a gym referral, gonna call them Monday and see if they can point me in the right direction.
Have hardly been drinking at all recently, so that's not the reason for the gout coming back, as it was before.
The reason I am about to make this post is not because i'm upset about the topic, but because I was (and still am) shocked at how prevalent this problem is. I'd be almost confident in saying there will be someone else on Bluemoon who is going through this right now.
Myself and the mrs have struggled to conceive for a few years. We've tried tests, various IVF cycles....a lot of pain for my mrs, the procedure is typically more physically difficult for the woman. All with no end result so far.
I'm at peace with it. If the end goal is to have a child, i'm not arsed if we have to use embryo donors or adopt. This post is just to say if anyone on here is going through this and wants a chat, then i'm all ears. I've wanted to say this for a while and this seemed like the opportunity and place.
It's really common. Sitting in the clinic is like a people farm - endless streams of couples, in and out. Science is staggering, you can even choose what you want your child to look like. Anyway, door's open!
I've always played football tennis ran walked and swam.it's kept me alive.without a shadow of a doubt.I've had a few battles over the last few years (those that know me would probably know why). The underlying issue will always be there but it usually comes out either because of money worries or not being involved in sport. I simply have to play sport or else my mind eats away a me, I get fat and I lose interest in everything. My youngest started school in September so after 5 years of really struggling to play any sports I now can play and practice golf regularly and I've started football again after 8 years (injured after three weeks though).
Being physically active, playing sport and being competitive (even if just with myself) are the foundations I'm built on.
I know it's easy from here but anyone who is struggling with mental health I highly recommend just getting out and walking, running or anything else that keeps you active.
If it's any help mate, I had a coke addiction 10 years ago when my kids were about the age of yours now and before I knew I had high functioning autism (coke made me feel normal and less awkward) and I thought I was on the road to suicide. I knew I had everything on a plate if I wanted it but just couldn't act on it. I had advice from my counsellor to close my eyes and imagine my little lads bringing me my coke to me on a plate and watching me doing it and learning how to take it. I never took it again and sorted myself out and am really happy and settled now. Good luck palI do Landscape gardening but ive left my job last week hopefully only temporarily, i keep letting them down and i want to focus on sorting my self out. Theres certain meetings i can do with the drug and alcohol people but only in the day. My wifes jobs is just enough to support us for now. Im hoping to go back after Christmas in a better mindset. I borrowed a lot of money to go into a rehab last year i was clean for 3 months, then it all drastically went wrong again. Its so hard but i do also have to take some responsibility for my behaviour too, i know i can never drink like a normal person can, one drink then anything can happen i cannnot stop until i have to.
Totally agree with this. i couldn't play sport for 3/4 years because my knees had totally gone. Two partial knee ops later and I can play golf, cricket and go for walks and I feel 1000% better mentally. Sport/exercise really does help mental health for those lucky enough to be able to access it.I've had a few battles over the last few years (those that know me would probably know why).

And..to be absolutely clear..not just those with mental health issues but also those looking to avoid them..and a whole host of other bodily ailmentsTotally agree with this. i couldn't play sport for 3/4 years because my knees had totally gone.
