Get well. Sometimes it's best to leave the Internet alone and take time away from it.

Sorry to hear that.

Sometimes I think these lockdowns and restrictions are doing far more harm than good.

Are you seeing a doctor or counsellor? Always good to talk to a professional if you are struggling with mental health issues.

Matth, have you sought help from mental health professionals? In these covid times it’s tempting to think that it’s easier to stay in and not trouble people with your issues but trust me, that’s not the right way to do it.

No one on this site means you any harm, it’s likely banter but I can see how it gets tiring. You haven’t come all this far just to come this far mate 👍 I like you dude.

I’m in lockdown tomorrow, Which means my mental health is going to get worse before it gets better in my opinion.

Try and find shared experiences that you can bond with other welsh people who will be going through the same thing. I promise you’re not alone as I know other people in Wales who are dreading it too. The lockdown won’t last forever. Maybe find exercise as your saviour to get those endorphins sending positive messages to your brain. Join online communities set up to share the mental health load.

It’ll be 2021 soon and this whole Covid thing will be on the way out and the world will celebrate. Be part of that 👍

All the best

Ever thought of taking up running? It done me the world of good!

Bait some more Liverpool fans. That might help.

Can you get out, go for long walks or runs? Might help

I would take another extended break from here (and all other social media platforms) if I were you, if you seriously want to improve your mental place. I don't want to get all Black Mirror on you,... but It really doesn't help your cause.

What has worked for me in the past is setting up a 100+ song playlist of all the songs from happy periods of my life and gone on long 15-20K step walks and by the time you get back you’re in a good mood and also became n percent fitter too. Just do that every day if you have the time. Wales is a scenic place, just go and enjoy the beauty and remember that if you were in a pub with everyone on here it would be far more civil. The internet just brings out the worst in people.

This is good advice Matth. Robb has taken extended breaks from this site and he has come back all fresh and well rested after his breakdowns.

Please don’t make a genuine attempt from Matth to seek help turn into a not so subtle dig at me. I thought even you had standards.

It isn’t a dig at you. It is good advice for Matth and has clearly worked for you.

Matth. Lockdown won't be so bad. Just go out and about and explore new places in the area you've not been to before. That's what I've done and the worst thing about it was realising I'd been missing out so much previously.
