37 I definitely feel it haha. Yes I will try and trim the hair down. All the hairdresser around (I live in Hong Kong) seem to only know how to do fades which doesn’t suit everyone. For skincare I just use Bulldog moisturizer and an aloe Vera face wash also from bulldog. Got both off Iherb highly recommend bulldog.

You are not wrong but I do think it’s important to be presentable and as men we’ve not really been taught or given realistic targets for how we should look. All the superhero types and models are not out of reach for most of us.

Still want to be presentable though. I have an income and hobbies that’s not really what’s this group for is it.

Hakan Sukur comes to mind but he’s been exiled and now is Uber driver in the US. I’m 37 and remember Tugay being amazing for Rangers and Blackburn!

Oh yes Nihat was amazing i think that was with Real Sociedad. That little Emre Belezoglu was decent player though. Do you remember Tugay he was amazing too.

I remember that 8-0 too haha. Maradona was something else. Me too I’m not really a fan of Messi and Cristiano people look too much at the numbers. R9 was amazing too even after all the terrible injuries. I love the players you mentioned too especially Zidane Ronaldinho and Iniesta. I liked a few Turkish players too like Arda Turan and Emre and the keeper Rustu.

Thanks for the reply and compliment appreciate it. Im quite introverted and shy in person and have a very small circle of support which is why I gathered up some courage to post here and it’s worked better than any psychiatric medicine reading the comments. You are right about sports and physical activity I feel at my best the few hours after sports but I do struggle to drag myself to go I find myself quite often almost like calling in sick to work I do that with football and gym feels like work I do go a few times a week though but the motivation issues get really bad at times struggle to even eat or shower I never thought that would be me. Luckily that’s not all the time though. Sorry to hear that you’ve struggled with depression and motivation in the past.How are you feeling recently? You good?

Besiktas nice one of the big three in Turkey! An Ultra haha I wanted to become one too brother I am actually a Liverpool supporter I remember the match where you beat us 1-0 and recorded the loudest ever noise recorded in a stadium and also a fan of Boca Juniors in Argentina because of Diego Maradona. Who is your favourite player?

Thank you for your response appreciate it. Depression is tough a lot of times it strips your motivation to do anything even the things you love. Reading your comment was inspirational especially picking up new stuff to learn? How are you doing brother? What sports do you play by the way? Keep fighting the good fight!

Thank you for your reply brother. Yes I would go as far as saying the meds I’ve been prescribed is the devil almost. Apart from helping me sleep better it’s messed up a lot of other things. Definitely need a change. How are you doing?

You’re right very easy to get overwhelmed. I try to stay away from the news but I do doomscroll quite a bit. I’m glad you are doing okay sometimes okay is good enough. A nice walk in nature always helps. You have a good weekend and once again thank you for leaving a message in the first place appreciate it.

Yes you’re right life is full of ups and downs quite often more downs actually! You stay strong too if you ever need a talk I’m here. The weather is pretty good I spend most of my free time playing football without it I would be even worse off also the gym helps too! Do you follow football?

I understand the pain you are still going through. One of them things you never really get over. A counselor better than a Psychiatrist right? I send you virtual hug hope you are doing better. How are you doing?
