Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

I have this on here from time to time. I'm trying to avoid the Moyes thread and anything manager/board related as best as possible.
The problem was that Hughes was ex-United and a significant number would never accept him. Wins were almost ghosted by them whilst draws / defeats would see twelve hours of arguments, threats, name calling… I’d imagine it’s happened at many clubs.
Absolutely pathetic. He was a boyhood Chelsea fan and is from Wrexham.
Got absolutely clattered at football on Saturday. Blood pouring out my nose, dizzy etc. All week since have felt miserable, the minimal focus I had has gone entirely, diet gone to ****.
Dunno what to do with myself. Maybe got a lingering concussion? My face is purple.

That sounds like it's worth a visit to A&E assuming you haven't already

On the pitch?! Surely has to be worth a trip to A&E walk in?

Going to it. Hopefully they can sort it pretty quickly with some tablets.
I know I'm overweight but can do ten minutes of crunches, high kicks, planks, etc no bother, lift 5kg of weights for 10 minutes and walk for 2 hours without getting puffed out and so on. My missus who has perfect blood pressure gets more puffed out than me on walks and she's pretty much ideal weight and is on her feet all day so I'm not a wheezing mess.
Not particularly stressed just usual work stuff but nothing onerous.
Having covid twice I don't think helped either...along with mainly sitting up the kitchen table working for over 2 years.
No wonder high BP is called the silent killer. Read that over a third of the UK has it...
Go to the appointment, take the meds and you'll be fine. Very high blood pressure was the main cause of my stroke a little over a year ago and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Anyone else out there over 40, get your BP tested. It's better than months in hospital and even more months of rehab, I can tell you!

This, absolutely.
I've been doing some training through the FA for coaching. It advises that any head injury - and especially with those symptoms - should be dealt with on site by a first aider and (I think) an ambulance called, or at least someone else getting then to a hospital.
Worth getting checked out, FJ, and hope you feel better soon.
This is an intriguing subject and I confess, I know next to nothing about it. In fact, the more I try to delve into it, the more confused I become. So, can I ask a genuine innocent question? and the question I would like to ask is, How do you know when you suspect you might not be normal and have a bit of a mental health problem and might need help ? Wouldn't you think, it is others who have the problem, not you ? What are the tell tale signs?
IMO,
There is no 'normal'. When you find it distressing or impossible to perform routine everyday stuff, then you have a problem. There maybe a completely understandable reason for this problem (say bereavement, physical illness, relationships, work, etc)
or it can be an imbalance in your brain that makes it function in some way differently from that of the majority.
The former of the two can be treated successfully in a number of tried and tested ways, as can the latter. Both, however require a good deal of effort from both the sufferer AND those around them.
Tenners is right as ever, there is no normal.
A lot depends on how it effects you Puff, you mention that you may seek help which indicates it bothers you at least.
But that's the thing, how much does it bother you, for instance does it stop you functioning in a way that you would like to, or stop you enjoying things that you used to enjoy?
Or does it effect those close to you in a way that it shouldn't and you want to do something about it?

There are thousands of different ways a persons mental health can be affected; being overly anxious, the incalculable number of physical manifestations of obsessive compulsive disorder, debilitating depression, extreme phobia, total emotional numbness. You can't summarise any of them in a single statement. You'd also be foolish to think about having a mental health condition as abnormal. Virtually everyone is dealing with, or will have to deal with something MH related at some point in their life. And often part of the suffering is being completely unable to process what a state of relative normalcy even is.
But perhaps the easiest way someone confused could empathize with a specific mental health condition is to imagine the most sad you've ever felt. Someone you love dying, a horrendous unexpected breakup, Payet handing in a transfer request. Now imagine that feeling, all the time, for no reason whatsoever, with no real prospects of alleviating that sadness. That is what depression can be like.
I suspect you were probably being deliberately obtuse when you asked the question in the first place anyway, and had you actually delved into the subject in any real manner you wouldn't have needed to ask the question you did. Obviously that's assuming you aren't an actual psychopath and have the ability to relate to and empathize with other people and emotions outside your own.
For me, it's just like physical health. You can be on a wide spectrum that ranges from firing on all cylinders and in tip-top condition right through to having disabling unrelenting pain or simply not being able to function properly.
Every human being is somewhere on that scale, physically and mentally.
Bloke sat opposite me on the train into work this morning dropped down dead right in front of me. Crowds of people all around him, people giving CPR, off duty nurse on the train helping, AED used. Nothing. He was just sat there reading the paper on the way to work and in the blink of an eye he was a gonner.

Apparently the guy is okay and is in hospital. Talk about lucky. I left after they used the AED the first time, thinking he was a goner. If youre gonna have a heart attack, a train during rush hour is apparently a good place to do it.

Sounds more like a cardiac arrest then a heart attack and whoever it is, is extremely lucky.
Outside a hospital I think you've got about a one in ten chance of surviving an arrest.
Do tube trains actually carry a defrib on board?
