Random Announcements

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.

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]

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
