Right lads and Eds, not Rangers related but I hope you'll indulge me for a minute or two. My mrs and I agreed that my goal for 2025 is to try and conquer situations that i'd normally be hesitant or uncomfortable being in, and whilst for the most part this is an anonymous site i find it hard to let my guard down and open up and often use humour as a shield making it difficult to build new friendships. Hopefully the eds don't mind posting this as it will help me alo"t. My names Scott and as some will know i served in the royal marines before being medically discharged against my will after being shot in a combat zone. I suffer with ptsd and depression after my best friend took his last breath and looked helplessly into my eyes as i held him. None of what i'm saying is designed for empathy nor sympathy. There is at least one other i know that has served perhaps more and i have complete respect. i'm writing this to humanise "the man behind the username and progress as a person. This can be an outlet for myself and others and nothing should ever be personal. I like and appreciate all of you and thankyou for making this what it is.
{Ed001's Note - I understand fully that it helps to talk about this stuff and if this helps you to deal with issues, then that takes priority over any conversation about football. A person's life is more important than a game. Nice to meet you Scott.}
