        Hello folks,
        Just wanted to announce in a manner most random that I have come back to the forum after a year or two of absence. 
        I've battled addiction and mental illness during this time, and for a long time before and after.  It makes me cut contact with friends, loved ones and things I love doing, for mostly no reason and with little notice.  Ill try not to look at this fantastic forum, full of mostly great people as simply a popularity contest/vehicle for self promotion, designed entirely by evil geniuses to smash my self esteem. 
        Perhaps a mental health thread would be worthwhile here?  Maybe there already is one.  Still trying to properly reacquaint myself.

        Looks like there a quite a few new faces, and a few less old ones.  Good and bad. I look forward to contributing.  I've already ordered a pair of 888's just a couple of hours in.

        I'm sure many don't give a rats.  And that's cool too.

        Mike.

              Mild7 - Great to have you back.  Thanks for your honesty, I'm sure all of us have been touched to some extent with what you have battled with at some point or other.  Hope the 888's work well for you.

                Thank you @Giles I appreciate that.

                I'm particularly touched by the fact you posted something so kind prior to 8am on a Monday morning 😉

                  He's probably still half asleep and hasn't realized that he posted something so kind yet.

                  Welcome back.  The 888's are great, hope they work out for you.

                                    I find Giles to be at his most jovial from around 6am to 8am actually. Apparently that's normal for people of an advanced age [emoji56]

                                      @Mild7 glad that you're back, and hopefully managing things. Unfortunately you haven't overcome your IH addiction in your absence by the looks of things!

                                        Not going to ask how you know Giles is jolly @ 6am of a morning  ::). Sounds like the kind of thing I'd expect MMB to have insights into 😉

                                          One of the following explanations is true:

                                          1. I'm up with the babies at 6am and G is often on the forum already (being jovial).

                                          2.  It's the only time we can indulge in a bit of hot webcam action without MMB catching on.

                                            Welcome back, @Mild7 ! I wish more people were brave enough to talk about our struggles with mental illness.  I think there are a lot of folks who identify with what you're experiencing.

                                            Glad to see that you feel like you're in an upswing. Finding joy in new jeans is one my personal favorite coping mechanisms  😃
