    I have come back from a 6 month self exclusion well what can i say about the last 6 months alot of things ave happened this may be a long post so if u fall asleep half way thru i understand :)  so alot of changes i say for the good that is before i took a 6 month break i was indoors all the time no social life grinding away on poker all tho i had a nice bankroll and  i was a winning player i wasnt enjoying myself on the poker tables i  hated my lifestyle never going out sitting indoors looking at 4 walls all the time upto 16 hrs a day playing poker

    Back to my life away from poker i had to sort a few demons out from my past n family relatives passing away my dad n grandad who i missed loads n i needed some help so i took the first big step admitting i needed help so i went n saw a councellor for 6 weeks n its the best thing i done he made me believe again a light at the end of a tunnel as i was in a bad place taking anti depression tablets all the time suffering with anxiety just feel a whole lot better in myself as a person

    Within the last 3 months i started volluntary work another big step as i not had a job for 4 years so i wanted to do something to give me the boost in getting a full time job so instead of going str8 in the deepend i thought i do some volluntary work and its good for the cv saying ya doing some work for nothing so i done that for a month

    A month later i found myself working a full time job well happy the pay is ok doing 40 hrs a week now midday to 8pm monday - friday 

    GOAL  is to save up some money each month from my work job n get my own place this time next year get back to my oldself like i was 10 years ago the bubbly outgoing me i am getting there now as im meeting people n working so interacting with people instead of being behind a laptop all day small things make me :)

    I wont be on poker as much now just the odd poker tourney over the weekend all tho i made money on poker just cba to grind and no time to grind now so the odd mtt it is :) 

    I wont bore u annymore ha  anyway good luck to u all at the table and thanks for having time to read this

    p.s  and yeah ya might think he might be working but still cr ap at grammar lol yeah ya right

    laters all run good

    Great post idcu,

    I'm so pleased to see that things are clearer for you. I've been through this myself so I know how you feel. Depression can be such a dark hole at times. People who have never truly had it can never understand. Seeking help was the first big step. You've made some strong decisions and changed your patterns and consequently your mood. It's no easy thing but you've managed it and should be proud of yourself. The future will have ups and downs but it's the recognition of change being needed and what to do that's so hard and is crucial. 
    As for poker. You use it for pleasure now and don't let it dominate your life. With a clear mind you can continue to find other enjoyable paths as well as the odd tournament. The world really can be your oyster.  All the best fella!!!
