    Hard to believe that three years have passed. Truly is.

    This really hit me when it happened - was just so sad - kinda made me realise that maybe I needed to talk to someone too, eventually I did.

    Fast forward three years, and I look back at who I was then and what I was going through and I am very thankful that I did talk to someone. Everyone needs to talk, to have someone to natter to, be that a friend, family member, counsellor or whoever.
    It works.

    A man who seemingly had what most dream of having...

    3 years. That seems like yesterday I heard and I was coming home from Dublin on the bus and I just started crying. Remember seeing him on Football Focus the day before and I never used watch it.

    The man who seemed to have it all. I got very low after that and only talking with a colleague in work helped me realise how low I was.

    Cheers, but it's not hard to talk about it now tbh, I suppose I'm just open about it...

    I just stuck a fairly lengthy post on FB there too to make pretty much the same point. If it can chip away at one person's wall that they've thrown up well sure it's doing a bit of good! :)

    I would wager that a huge amount of people don't know how to do that though mate, that's the biggest thing....
    People in trouble sometimes can't see a way out. Tragic.
