Re: How to prevent getting injured at football?
Hi @Redemption, thank you for sharing this! I hear how you like to play 7 a side football, but that the prospect of injury is something that's on your mind and affecting the way you play. It sounds like it's quite intense, and that injuries are quite common. Part of avoiding injury is prevention (e.g, stretches/warm down), and part is dependent on the people you're playing with. Are there perhaps similar sessions that you can join that are more casual or slower tempo, to ease that concern? We're here to listen to you!
Hey @Azziman , great to see you round again bro. Thank so much for your reply. I'd prefer to stick with these people as their familiar and it's a mental health group but I might look at other ones if it becomes too intense

Re: Neighbours
Hi @Redemption, thank you for sharing this experience with us. I can hear how the current situation with your neighbours is unsettling and challenging. Being threatened to the point of police involvement sounds like a scary situation, and it makes sense that you might feel scared for your safety, as well as frustrated at the lack of unfair treatment compared to other neighbours.
Just to check, have you had any similar incidents since two years ago, or have the police been involved/contacted since that time about these neighbours (either if they had an issue with you, or any other neighbours)? I can hear that it can be frustrating having a strained relationship with next-door neighbours, and it's unfortunate that you're right next to them. How do you feel about that relationship? Do you think there's a chance that it could be repaired, or do you feel like it's not one you'd want to restart given the past incidents? I hope that you and your family are all safe - we're here to support you.

Re: Friends
@Redemption, this sounds like a really tricky and perhaps hurtful situation. I hear your confusion. How have you been feeling in the days after this? I wonder if you've had anymore contact from them?
@Sian321 thanks for replying again, it means a lot and good question. They've blocked me. I've been ok just they were kind of fine with me for a couple of days then started slowing down ignoring my messages and drifted away. I don't think I've done anything wrong since they just blocked me, I don't know if I've lost them for good now or they need a break as they've blocked me. I feel again communication here is important, I feel instead of ignoring the messages and blocking me they could have communicated with me, I know we have a topic support thread today about this stuff like thriving friendships so it works well here for this do Ill talk about it later at 3 30 about it, about how communication is important.
