Hey peeps!

So i don't know if any of you are aware but I used to play football as a Goalkeeper. Unfortunately due to my Anxiety levels, OCD and Manic Depression I have not played, or even been to training, in 5 months.

Today I have decided that I am going to go and see how I am. I am really rather nervous and anxious about it. This is partly because the majority of my team mates do not know that I am 1 in 4. They don't know that I have Mental Health Disorders. They don't know why I left and stopped going. So today is the day that I am going to be open and honest with them about the real me.

So yeah.....NERVOUS!

I'll let you all know how it goes

Joel xx

Well that was interesting. They were a bit unsure what to think when I told them that I suffer from Mental Health Disorders (Manic Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) but they seemed to be ok with it I think. Was tough after not playing for 5 months but was ok. I spend rather a lot of the time panicking and trying to keep my anxieties and intrusive thoughts under control. Had to keep tapping the goal post with both hands 6 times then do the other one. but I got through it. xx
