| Thank you and goodnight 08:24 - Oct 29 with 967 views | saint901 | For a number of personal reasons, mainly connected to protecting my mental health, I am taking a break from this platform and indeed most forms of social media. There are a number of negative - and mainly self inflicted - "problems" in my world right now which are combining to threaten a return (for me) to some very dark places I have been to before. I'm sure many of you will be happy to see the back of me and I will miss the "banter" (especially enjoyed the "keep politics out of football forums"). I will from time to time check in but for now my contributions will cease. As the cliche goes, sometimes it's OK not be OK. The trick is recognising that and doing something positive. Good luck, good health and prosperity to every single one of you. COYR |  | | |  |

| Thank you and goodnight on 13:53 - Oct 29 with 540 views | LondonSaint76 | All the best 901, I sincerely hope you can work through things and return to the forum once you are in a better place. A good friend of mine listens to a lot of music to help with his moods, he recommends Radio 3 Unwind - maybe there will be something of benefit to you on there? Have a look and see what you think. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/bbc_radio_three_unwind |  |

| Thank you and goodnight on 17:26 - Oct 29 with 354 views | saintmark1976 | I am sorry to learn of your current situation 901. Your contributions will be missed. You were always reasoned and never showed any malice to those who disagreed with you, thus upholding the true spirit of Nick’s site. Please don’t underestimate the benefits of counselling, from personal experience I know that it can greatly assist. Best wishes and please don’t be afraid to come back in your own good time. |  |

| Thank you and goodnight on 17:31 - Oct 29 with 343 views | Jellybaby | Best wishes 901. I enjoyed our debates - iron sharpens iron and all that. A break from technology is a good plan, enjoy nature, enjoy your relationships, enjoy reading, find peace. Dare I say, I will say a little prayer for you. X |  |
| I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it. |

| Thank you and goodnight on 19:53 - Oct 29 with 166 views | Joiedevivre | Wishing you all the best! I made similar decision to get off the main time-trapping “social media” of eternal scrolling a few years ago now. It does make the world of difference mentally; hopefully you come back better. |  | |  |
