Apologies in advance for getting a bit soppy on you all, but bugger it. I rate this.

After what has been an emotional roller coaster but life changing 14 weeks, I rate my Psychologist today telling me that I no longer need to continue with my mental health plan (unless of course required).

Without blowing my own trumpet, I am incredibly proud of my personal growth since parting ways with my ex.

What I do want to say is this. I cannot thank my psych enough for what he has done for me, and I told him this today.

He has bought clarity to my thoughts and emotions in ways I never thought possible, and whilst I still have average days, I am much more accepting and welcoming of anxiety and feelings of sadness than I ever have been before, thanks to his theories and teachings. I now embrace these reactions as a positive experience, and recognising when and why I am getting them, and being able to distinguish fact from thought has released the emotional handcuffs that have crippled me in relationships of every kind for so long. Never underestimate the feeling of self worth and purpose.

In the wake of R U OK day yesterday, please gents- if you feel anxious, sad, depressed. Please talk. Engaging in this mental health plan has been the best thing I have ever done. My present, whilst containing its negatives, is still bloody good comparatively, and thanks to these sessions, my future has a plan and I have some goals that I want to begin to work towards once things like assets and the like get sold/sorted.

Thanks to everyone on here who got in touch with me after my initial post 14 weeks back and to those who have kept checking on me since then. Please no one ever underestimate what a simple “how are you going?” can do to someone.

Onwards and upwards x

Great news, man. Well done.
I've not suffered deep mental health issues, but at one time I had to speak to a counsellor just to get a handle on an issue in my life and it helped me no end. That clarity you mentioned at the top of your post is so important. Along with you, I'd recommend it to anyone - especially blokes.
Congrats to you and I hope your onwards and upwards continues along the same path.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

Yep me too I sought a session with a counselor about 12 months ago. Felt pretty useless at the time but in less than an hour everything was sorted and I haven't been back. Sometimes it's just a different perspective from a professional that let's everything click.

Pottering round outside whilst listening to ABC Grandstand. They're going all around the country to get scores and updates from local footy finals. Love listening to it every year, real footy people.

Apparently SSM marraige voting papers are being put up for sale.

That I'll be part of an exclusive travel team at work as of October 1 - domestic only.

I don't only rate this - but the fact that along with the new position, comes a new team manager...huzzah!

It only took 2 years but everything is finally coming up Millhouse!
