Had a great day Saturday. It's about a 45 minute drive between the two of us but worth every minute of the journey. Rekindling a friendship after almost 40 years is good fun. Having a blossoming social life independent of just having some friends around here can only be a good thing. Next get together in the new year and can't come soon enough. Great news Chuffed. Just proves that if the efforts there and a bit of confidence the sky’s the limit. Good luck for the new year you never know you could do a Badger ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif)

So it’s taken me a few days to comprehend things and I’m not even sure I should be posting it on here. But maybe it may help someone in a similar position should it occur. On Sunday morning I received a missed call off one of my best mates, he usually calls to basically take the piss out of me for 10 minutes before suggesting a pint at somewhere we haven’t been for about 20 years just to see what it’s like these days, it’s what we do. I was nursing a raging hangover so couldn’t be arsed to listen to it for a bit. Eventually I called him back, he was crying, I thought he was joking because I hadn’t answered the phone or something but he wasn’t. He informed me that one of our friends had been killed on Saturday evening after being hit by a car. What can I say, I was completely numb. Young guy, hilarious guy, life and soul just gone a couple of weeks before we were due for our annual Christmas Booze session. I didn’t sleep at all on Sunday night, going through WhatsApp chats, old photos and videos. Crying and laughing all night. We all had a group chat last night to talk about the great times we’ve had with our friend over the years. We will be going out over Christmas still in his honour. I’ve reached out to a few on here and they’ve been a great support and made me feel loads better and I wanted to thank those people. Onwards and upwards it’s ok to be not ok👍🏻

Thank you everyone for your kind words and some lovely PM’s as well. I love the Oatie and wouldn’t be without it, unfortunately for you lot. There’s a quick article on Stoke on Trent Live about him if anyone wants to know anymore about what a great guy he was. Very sorely missed by his family, friends and the entire local community. Good health all and have a blinding Christmas period👍🏻

I've just read the article and recognise him from Caverswall Cricket club when I pop down in the summer. Had seen flowers when I have been past Weston Road this week but didn't realise what had happened. I lost a dear friend in similar circumstances over 20 years ago. Never forget him always share his memories with friends over a pint or 10.

Hope I don’t regret posting this in the morning but here goes.
I’ve always wanted to tell this story or at least write it down. I think that’s what’s a therapist is for, though we are from Stoke aren’t we lads and unfortunately mental health access isn’t what it should be.
I’d always struggled with depression throughout my 20s. It’s hard being a lad from a council estate in Stoke and growing up in a middle class education. It led me to being life and soul of the party and drink and substance abuse. Covid really hit me hard but eventually I got back to London working in the industry I wanted to in January 2022.
Anyway something wasn’t still right after that move back to the capital and I was hitting it hard. I attended a wedding in the April of 2022, the cousin of my best pal from school. His family had made me one of their own over the years. After getting absolutely shitfaced for two days I woke up the morning after in my hotel room ready to end it all. I got the iron from the hotel room and tried to fashion a noose but was fortunately stopped by my best pals little brother coming back from breakfast, who I was sharing a hotel room with. He didn’t see anything, I heard him coming.
Funnily enough, his Gran said to me shortly after when saying goodbye, look after yourself, because I see the sadness in your eyes. It broke me.
During this fixation on ending it I was listening to the song Seventeen Going Under by Sam Fender. The words had always resonated to me with a visceral effect I had never experienced from a song.
A few months later I was at Glastonbury watching that song live with all my pals, and I broke down. I broke down privately to some random bird who was stood next to us. It reminded me I had survived.
18 months later, I’ve turned 30 years old recently. I’ve got my dream job at another place in London, I have fallen in and out of love again with a bird but still getting plenty of action for a youngish man. I’ve just listened to that song again and it hasn’t triggered me in any way, I have been free of suicidal thoughts for what feels a long time.
I’m optimistic about the future and looking forward to seeing what life brings my way. Starting with Super Steve Schumacher getting us promoted.
Thanks for reading. And Mr Badger, I’m sorry for your loss. Thanks for the oatcake for being a place where I could slightly anonymously post my story.
My friend wrote in one of my birthday cards ‘the best is always still to come’. She said apparently I say that all the time, I never realised it.
DMs always open.

Fair play for opening up mate as alot of the time that is the hardest thing to do. I'm glad you are doing better and are seeing everything you've got that is positive. The last few years haven't been easy for me but when I've felt like I couldn't go on I've always thought of my missus, my two boys and my family and I know I could never leave them behind. Have a good crimbo mate and hoping 2024 is a positive one for you and everyone else on here. The support on here is second to none.

Merry Christmas to everyone on here. I am not feeling that festive this year but it was nice to see Niece's and Nephews earlier who are all excited and ill be seeing God children Boxing day. Its wonderful seeing the little ones excited and for me that is what Christmas is about. Hopefully in 2024 i can get some more photos of Wildlife i have not caught up with. If i get positive things with this girl and get to take her out for a meal. Ill have a smile on my face. I hope everyone gets to see Friends and Family or just enjoy the Christmas the way you want. This thread is really helpful so enjoy tomorrow guys All the best. Barn Owl perched on a snowy morning in the Staffordshire Moorlands. ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZJqW26d/IMG-20231223-224726.jpg)

Merry Christmas everyone.
Hope you all have a fantastic day tomorrow, another year nearly done with now. I'm sure we've all had our ups and downs, but let's make tomorrow the one day to remember. I'll be seeing the missus tomorrow after she finishes at work. Nice to be doing Christmas and new year with someone. We're heading off to Matlock for New Year.
I'm also signing back up to PT, with another plan of attack being discussed with the PT on Wednesday for how we go ahead for 2024. Having a missus is a big motivator for me to look good, but I also want to avoid the stage of getting 'too comfortable' in myself and undoing the hard work of the last year.
I want to lose not just any excess I've put on since meeting her (and not her fault at all btw, just me being too lax), but hit a new low weight wise and BF% wise, plus really lean up. Big goals in mind for the coming year.

I’m blessed that I’ve been lucky enough to never suffer from mental health, anxiety or depression but my wife has for a number of years so I’d like to think I’ve moved on from the “pull yourself together” attitude days I had before we met all those years ago. It’s a very brave battle is life, full of ups and downs. Again I consider myself very fortunate to have a wonderful family and in some ways I’m lucky to be quite privileged to have been pretty “protected” compared to most however am aware enough that it only takes one very bad day to change things forever. This thread really is the greatest one on here and there’s some truly humbling, heartbreaking, uplifting posts within it. What it does prove more than anything is how much decency there is amongst posters and that though there may be political differences we’re a good bunch. Have a great xmas mate and everyone else.

It might well be Christmas Day & for a lot of people it just magnifies any issues that people have (me included) So its simple boys & girls The Oatcake is open 24/7, and if you read the thread regular then you know that no one here is ever alone & no one should ever think that no one is their for them. A DM is just a click away & a response will always come. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) We have a common love in red & white, but the one thing the Oatcake is good at is looking out for each other. Take care today people & you are never alone Caerwrangon (Jason)

It might well be Christmas Day & for a lot of people it just magnifies any issues that people have (me included) So its simple boys & girls The Oatcake is open 24/7, and if you read the thread regular then you know that no one here is ever alone & no one should ever think that no one is their for them. A DM is just a click away & a response will always come. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) We have a common love in red & white, but the one thing the Oatcake is good at is looking out for each other. Take care today people & you are never alone Caerwrangon (Jason) Spot on Jason, well said ! The Oatie in general and just reading this thread in particular have certainly helped me through some tough times during the past few years. Happy Christmas to all Stokies. We'll be with you !
