(ooc: posted before the match)

Tornadoes are coming up, and hopefully it'll be a good one to blow off the cobwebs that come from not playing since before Christmas.

Merc, Florrie, Shona, Angus, Jason, Lex, Micah

Merc knows this already, but here goes.

I went to see a private healer this morning. There's been a lot going on in my head of late and I needed to process it with people I'm not emotionally invested in in any way.

To cut a long story short, pending further meetings, she is looking into a formal diagnosis of anxiety and panic disorder. Which, given that I do this for a living, is... unusual. But she said that throwing yourself into what we do can be almost therapeutic in itself.

On a related note, I'll be going to regular meetings with her, more often in times of need. This isn't something easy but I think I'm finally coming to terms with some stuff that's been going on for far too long.

I don't want to be fixed, I just want to be better. There's a reason I've been keeping this ward small, so... yeah. I think that's everything. I hope it shows tgat I'm being proactive in making changes that I need to, here.

I have no doubt that this team can work wonders.

Congrats on the charity match. [...] Have fun out there?

We should probably sit down and go through some of the Montrose Seeker plays before the Cannons match. Just because it's the Cannons doesn't mean one of us can't bring our A game.

Good on you, mate. Reckon there's nothing wrong with asking for help, though it's hard to do, eh? You let me know if I can do anything to help out.

[Campbells]
Is this what it's been since we were kids, then, or is it something new?

And do you want Ma or the rest of them to know?

It's a bit overwhelming at the moment. I'm still getting my head around the idea of there being something... real behind this. Some kind of label.

Campbells

Now that... that's a long story. One that we're going to spend a long time unpicking, I think.

No. God, no. I haven't even got my head around it myself yet, I can't expect them to.

All right. But I reckon Ma'd like to know sometime. When you've got a handle on it.

You know I love you no matter what, yeah?

You know I've got your back no matter what, yeah?

I'm confident in our abilities, I just don't like to be overconfident. The last match was a while ago, and no-one is at their best after a break, no?

Fair enough, and that does make sense. Yeah, that's certainly true. I mean, you try and stay active but there's still that... I guess getting back into the groove of things?

Congrats on taking this step.

Micah and I are with you no matter what you need.




And as someone who's recently spent a lot of time with healers... I know it isn't always easy.

I have every faith in our team, but layoffs are layoffs. We shouldn't be over-confident after a break.

I don't think anyone's said that you're being overconfident.

Besides Montrose is my favourite team, I can't help it if I want you all to win.

Echoing what has already been said, but thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share this. I am proud of you for taking quite a big first step.

I am certainly here for anything should you need it. At the very least, I can offer plenty of long broom flights around the UK if you need to clear your head for a few hours.

It's not so much being comfortable as... not saying was more uncomfortable. And there's nothing to be proud of, really... I just couldn't keep it in after talking to her this morning.

That... that actually sounds pretty good, actually.

You might not feel it now and it is going to be very difficult to hear for a while, but it is something to be proud of.

Take it from someone who has been there and has been equally freaked out by other people making similar comments. Still, I am honored that you felt like you can share this with me.

You tell me how long you want to fly for and I'm sure we can make that happen. After all, I am training for what is probably going to be a 12 hour race.

Thanks for letting us know about this. Any information that your healer shares with me will be treated as confidential, of course. And even though I know it might not need to be said, I'll add that based on your comments, there is nothing that will affect your medical readiness.

Also if there's any help I can provide from the medical side, please don't hesitate to ask.

Congratulations on taking this step forwards. And I appreciate the confidence you've expressed on me by doing so.

This...well, we're unpicking it. But it's not a new thing, so it won't affect my game. That I do know.

Florrie

She did say she'd be in touch, but, not quite yet. She's working on possible plans, and mentioned she might want to run the possibility of medications by you. Check that they're Quidditch legit, and all that sort of thing. But at this stage, it's just about exploring options.

I don't... this is on me, here, but I don't really like the congratulations. I don't think I've achieved anything much. Not really.

It's important to get these things on the record, as it were.

[Lennox]
I'll remember that but I think it's quite brave of you to choose to do something about your troubles instead of ignoring them. And also to do it before it became a crisis that caused too much trouble for those around you.

Maybe you haven't gone far yet, but the first step is worth something.
