It`s not stupid mate, SAD is a condition at this time of the Year.
No he builds planes like me Kathy.....
BAe?
Yeah...... only we don’t really build them - we are office jockeys !!!
I was wondering about this. Looking at the MIND website it looks as though those with depression/anxiety are prone to SAD. I wonder if trying to tackle some of the symptoms of depression/anxiety through pharmacology/counselling can alleviate symptoms of SAD, or looking at it another way if the changes in light and temperature that come with SAD are pushing the mind over the edge? Good luck to you all anyway. Hopefully it's a mild winter and we can all get out and about.
The long, dark winters nights don't help at all, get as much daylight into your eyes as you can, this helps a lot, similar sort of theory to a light box which SAD sufferers use. I loathe the long winter nights & can't wait until January when the nights start getting lighter by 2 mins a day, Roll on Spring & Summer, then (hopefully) with the oncoming vaccinations 🤞 we will all have more freedom to go places to stop the rot. Hold on tightly, because we will get there eventually, look after yourself buddy 👍
I find this posting well founded but entirely untrue, maybe even a little hypocritical. Time after time on PNEOnline members are slagged off for having a different opinion with no thought given as to how the person being slagged off is feeling. With no thought given to what a person is going through, it seems if a poster holds a different opinion to yourselves then instead of understanding a different opinion may be held it seems quite right to slag off that person - even cruelly make fun of them - and for others to join on the side of the person doing the slagging off with agreements and emoticons. That is why I rarely post on here anymore because I have enough to put up with (I'm a cancer patient and going blind) which does not help with my mental state of mind and my ability to take being slagged off. I'm afraid paddysr that before your idea can be put into effect then the forum needs to be cleaned up resulting in a greater respect for poster's views.As we once again find ourselves in lockdown and further uncertainty is added to many of the lives of our forum members we would just like to remind you all that we have a Mental Health section on the forum.
One of the big things that sets PNE-Online aside from our contemporaries is that despite our many differing views on a wide range of topics we always come together for each other when needed and we aren't aware of any other football forum with a section dedicated to the mental well-being of its members.
If you wish to post under your usual name that is fine or if you would prefer a level of anonymity you are able to log out and post in that section as a guest.
All we ask is that, no matter how big or small a poster's issue seems to you, that any replies are done so with respect and without fear of recrimination.
Keep safe everyone.

I understand your point but I do disagree.
Disagree.
Im sorry to hear your plight Pumba but I hope it works out alright for you. Come on the forum it will be a bit of company albeit not in person. I wish things were different for you and others it’s a swine is this virus. Keep safe until you can come home.
Good luck pal. Hopefully this virus will be got rid of as soon as possible so we can all get some normality.
To add to this, it’s amazing how much of an impact vitamin/mineral deficiencies have on the body and your well-being. Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium and a whole range of other minerals are hugely important (zinc especially in Men). Anyone feeling low/lethargic I’d recommended investing in a quality A-Z supplement + zinc and maybe cod liver oil. Take the recommended dose and give it a couple of weeks and you should feel brighter.
I just think it’s a touch irresponsible mate. I have a mum who’s over 60 and has heart problems (albeit mild) and she’s already been through enough this year. COVID would be the final nail.
I agree to a point as at times I find myself posting on here at times when I am at my lowest and not leaving the villa and it then gets too much with the group bullying and back against the wall for having an alternative opinion. I then dissapear as quickly as I find it makes things worse or attempts are made to get me banned. At times having a chat and having an opinion is something we all need to get by but sadly the forum at times has a bully culture.
