Yet another sleepless night, depression & anxiety have got such a grip on me, don't be fooled by my smile or my laughing I am having to fight every day, at times it's hour by hour. I can't go two days without having suicidal thoughts, I don't know how I am surviving at times.

So cheeky, loveable Ally McCoist has a go at Celtic fans, "sickening" he describes Celtic supporters anti-monarchy protest! Not a word about the Scotland fans booing tonight, what no "sickening" comment then! He played at Rangers who's supporters sing sectarian songs every match!

Pls share this, I would love to meet the person who found me unconscious Wednesday around 1am between Liver Building & Albert Dock & rang 999 ensuring an ambulance took me to The Royal. Many staff helped save my life, without the stranger I would have died. I want to say thanks.
I'm in the Royal Liverpool Hospital, someone brought me in via ambulance after passing out somewhere. Last memory I have was walking near Albert Dock. I took an overdose yesterday, it was totally out of my control, the urge to die was so much more than the will to live. Sorry..
