The R U Ok? thread

[rented tracksuit]

Hey mate,

The last things I saw was some comments from people wishing Eddie all the best and thanking you for putting up the thread.
Hopefully he is feeling better today, I will check on him later this evening.

Once again thanks brotha!

Cool mate but again, no thanks needed. As I said, if it wasn't me, I'm sure someone else would have done the same.

I hope hes ok.

Just a short update.

I texted him and he replied.

Eddie is feeling a bit better today, and appreciate's everyone's concern.

He is looking forward to the game tomorrow and hoping we play good in Eddie speak hehe...

Cheers

thanks for the update PD. Maybe we should all respect his privacy and if anything about him needs to be said, do it via PM.

You are are a top bloke to be showing such concern and taking it upon yourself to be watching out for others. Well done!

Thanks for the update Parky. Appreciate it mate.

Tracksuit, you're a class act.

Boogie firstly thanks for the apology. I think you should realise that your attempted 'joke' was distasteful and inappropriate given the context of this thread. Even if it had become dormant.
The R U Ok thread is a very important thread on here even if it hasn't been posted in for quite some time now. People have really opened up about themselves in here and so it really shouldn't be treated in a flippant way. But anyway I appreciate your apology as I'm sure many others will too.

there was actually no joke if you knew anything about my life which you dont you would know that the post was not a joke i made the post for myself so dont come at me talking about hardship and wellbeing ive had my own battles in life i now consider our truce over

[mightyrooster]

I wasn't aware we were at war. I have no malice against you boogie. I am sorry for your hardships.
I don't consider us at war at all but if that's the way you see it then there's not much I can do.

Hey mate, re privacy concerns i usually let him know what i am going to post re him as his privacy should be respected. But for the last post I didnt really ask him and i know he doesnt mind but i will edit part of it just to let u all know is is feeling a bit better. Easier this way than via pm but if people want to know more PM me at this stage.

So if you replied to my last post u can now delete it mate

Also thankyou for the kind words, not sure if i am but hey!

Cheers

No worries mate and I echo your second sentence about the humble champ.

Good news PD. I sent him a pm yesterday. A good win today should cheer him up. So long as those 'game managers' Eddie likes to talk about don't ruin it for him.

[rented tracksuit]

Eddies game managers nearly got the NRL their Suncorp final but we eventually stood up and overcame the crap. Hope that gives you wings Eddie. We are behind you mate.

[The Brain]

Uncle Nicks fave saying.... Saidcthis after Bennet Judas... When the going gets tough the tough get going... I get ya Ed but you have to get through it....

[novice chook]

Just bumping this to the top as it's R U OK day today.

Hope everyone on this forum is OK - please reach out to someone, anyone if you are not. Don't let the black dog get the better of you.

Eddie - I hope you are doing OK. Remember that there is a band of Rooster brothers and sisters behind you and supporting you and wishing you all the best for the future. We all appreciate having you as part of our forum family.

Take care

So when you ask someone are they okay and they say, "no", what should you do? Serious question. A lot of people can't afford counseling and others dislike or are in some way opposed to taking medication. Do you tell them life is okay even if you think it really isn't. This campaign confused me

Good question.
I can't answer honestly.
Did wanna die the other week, and ain't sure what I wudda said then.

It's a build up sometimes.
Always getting closer to the point of no return, then you figure life's short anyway.
I dunno.

What should you do if they say no???
um
Depends on a lot.

Talking helps, if you're good at it maybe?
I'd offer to buy them a drink.


I dunno.
After all the doctor stuff last week, It kinda made me feel like keep trying because of knowing some people care.........even if we only have rooster addiction in common.
Usually deal with stuff like that on me pat malone, good question.

Every situation is different I think.
But occasionaly the odd question might make a difference.
I might.........have been in trouble if parky did'nt ring me the other week.
And sometimes knowing others, even if you've never met seem to care helps a lot in retrospect.

So hard to write this atm.
Can'rt explain a lot. Life can be extremely hard.
But without it, we got bugger all.
