Not Rangers related but lot of talk on here of mental health amongst players and posters. anyone struggling in whatever way it's best to get it out rather than build it up. We're all 1 here, all Rangers fans and the only judgement you will get from me for writing a mental health post is I'm glad you have said it as I'm sure you feel better by talking about it.
Remember it takes a real man/person to talk about their problems.

Davie, great post, my friend, but after seeing some comments, I understand why some won't speak out in forum.
I think I will keep counsel moving on also.
To some, a high salary/ capital and healthy bank balance means you lose the right to have feelings or personal problems.
I guess that is a mark of society. It's only okay to have mental health issues if you are not wealthy.

Your health is your wealth and that includes mental health.

Aphe, I'm pretty sure, from reading the exact same comments as yourself, nobody is saying that just because you earn decent money that you can't have feelings/personal problems.
Pretty sure people were just saying that it isn't worth spending that kind of money on someone with those kind of problems as there are plenty of examples in football of brilliant players who lost their way due to said issues.

That is it, bigbluejim, the money he'd cost and his salary for what we've seen in a Rangers jersey, but making out his salary affects our feelings about his mental health is way off.

Aphe, I don't agree with that at all, and I think you are using Skov Olsen as a benchmark, which you are entitled to do after the last few days, but footballers, rightly or wrongly, have always been held to a different standard. You, me, and others have had wobbles on here at times, and all of us have backed the person at the time, and hopefully helped them get through whatever was going on at the time.
Anyone with mental health issues, and I mean anyone, can come on here at any time and speak out, and they will get support on here. That's what I believe.

Wonder if his mental struggles and lack of confidence affect his ability to cash his weekly 5-figure wage.
That was one of the comments.
No fork footballers are human beings and should be held to the same standard as everyone else.
Does my position in football mean I forfeit the right to have personal problems?

Rangers have a duty of care to Olsen for the duration of his loan.
After which, he needs to return to his parent club for further care and attention.
He is not a player we should spend £7.5M or offer a multi year contract to, imo.

My last post should say Strom.
No idea what I am finding difficult between differentiating between you and Fork the last 24 hours.
Maybe I should discuss things with others for a while. ?

Davie, thanks for the care and consideration of your original post.
A couple of things my daughter-in-law suggested when I was struggling a while back.
Start the day by remembering what you are truly grateful for - could be anything, but for me it's the love and support of friends and family, good health, not being stuck in the middle of a war zone, watching kids being killed and maimed.
Second, in the evening, write down three good things that happened during the day to set up a platform for tomorrow.
Probably sounds silly and trivial, but it has helped me quite a bit.

Aph, barring a couple of comments maybe, I've been really impressed and encouraged by all the support with regards to mental health issues. This has definitely become something of a safe place to say it and there's been loads of threads offering support recently.
We all debate and argue about all sorts until serious issues mentioned, and then it's all good. Even with Skov, if he does have issues, most have wished him help, but just question if he's worth the hugely expensive risk based on his performance so far.

Jardine, anything that helps, whatever it is, is good for you. Remember, though, majority of the time it's just good to talk and let it out, buddy. Sense of relief after that I feel.
