FabSwingers.com forum: How are you ?

This week is Mental Health Awareness week. I was reading a good article regarding men in particular and how they tend to bottle things up more. It was saying that often no one asks “How are you?”

So how are you?

I'm as good as can be expected thanks, though this is a very stressful week for me.

I had my first exam on Monday, not long finished another one and have my last one on Friday

Hope everyone else is having a good time

Take a bow Corrie for highliting the issue ..I don't watch it but I like Shayne Ward and as suicide is the biggest killer of men above 40 in the UK it needs addressing . I was the worst in the world for bottling things up and in 2011 it made me do a stupid thing . I will never be stressed alone again..Ffs guys , if you have an issue , talk about it , it's not girly or sissy to do it , it's a lifesaver !!

It was a difficult step for me to take but I see a therapist once a week. Getting there, reaching out and asking for help was the hard part.

To answer the question, I'm pretty fucking good. I'm still working on getting better but I've come a long way.

I’m sorry to hear you’re stressed. It’s really good to see someone about it. I saw a counsellor when I had lots going on a few years ago. It definitely can help. I hope you start to feel better soon. Xx

I hope the exams go well. There are lots of exams at the moment. At the end of the week you can relax.

Lots of rest and honey and lemon. Hopefully you can reconvene with the couple when you’re better.

Thank you, feel pretty confident about them so far!

Can't relax for long after they are done though as I'm moving to Cheltenham for a year in just over a month so need to get that sorted

Slightly down after the ex created some rumours and drama, because I'm actually doing okay for myself.

But I'm talking to people. And working through it.

I'm actually really really good. Last year was my personal hell, the start of this year was hard. I'm grieving and it wasn't helped by a toxic relationship.

But now I'm really happy, although I'm still grieving, but I have a lovely man, a fun job, meeting new people, had some great fab meets.

If I had let myself I could have let everything that happened last year destroy me. But instead I realised you need to live every day like it's your last.

Doing good at the moment thanks. Was not well this time last year when going through a divorce but my mum forcing me to go see a GP was the best thing that happened.

Might have the odd day where things get really tough but generally positive at the mo.

Yes you do. I dont think grief ever leaves you, you learn to live with it better as time passes. Im glad life is better for you now.
