I have been playing soccer pools for about six years now. The numbers for pools are chosen by draws; each number corresponds to a soccer match. If it gets a draw, that number is picked for pools. Using some statistics and intuition, I can reduce the numbers in pools from 6 out of 38 to 6 out if 15. Well, playing my last game for several months this weekend or ever. Not going well. Got two so far but missed a couple...still things can turn around. Will know officially by tomorrow 12 to 2pm. Doesn't look promising.

Hi @Atalanta. I can't find your other thread from last night and guess it's been taken down. I replied to it but am not sure if you got my message. I just wanted to say that I hope today works out for you the way you want it to, however that may be, and not the way you feel it has to. You're not alone today - there are heaps of professional supports around if you want them and people here to talk to, keep you company, distract you etc. I think you know this though so maybe it's not helpful for me to remind you of it and sorry if that's the case. Thinking of you this morning anyway.

I did read it. Thank you. It was very honest and heartfelt. I replied but the thread was removed by then. Rightly so.

I'm feeling somewhat better today...and ridiculous that I've been thinking this way. Instead of dealing with life's problem's, I just got overwhelmed and gave up. Being physically sick didn't help.

I'm ok, don't worry and thank you for thinking of me.

It's not ridiculous to feel that way. I think it's something that happens when things get too much and it sounds like you've tried so many things before. I'm happy for you that you're feeling a bit better today though. I hope you stick around here - i think everyone deserves a place to speak and be listened to.

Take care and hope to chat soon
