The name of this topic is a bit worrisome to some people but let me explain why it's named the way it is. I was recently (in the last couple months) introduced into this sim league by my really good buddy and it was catching my attention and was uplifting to hear something so unique and completely made by fans of the sport. I don't know too much about football but I want to learn more, that's not the main reason why I came here though, yes it's a part of it but not exactly the main point of it. My biggest reason for coming into the NSFL was because I knew it was going to have a pretty large amount of people and I wanted to expand my social circle and get myself more out there socially since I've always been kept to myself. This league has helped me immensely with my depression, but as of lately it's been kicking me in the jaw, just affecting my overall mood and making me extremely tired. Although I've been struggling with depression these last few days, maybe even week, I've been really happy to meet so many new people since the NSFL Draft for the S22 draftees is coming up faster than I could keep up with since it felt like it was further away than it is right now. I want to become much more in the league, but also I'm making this article because I know there are others like me struggling through the same type of depression or just lack of people to talk to, small social circles, or they just have a hard time talking to people and this has helped them through that kind of pain. I'm still learning how the league works, since this is my first ever sim league I've been in. I have never been a part of something like this before and it's a pretty huge change for me. It's been an amazing experience so far and I highly believe it's just going to get even better the further I go along with the league and it's amazing community and staff. The staff here is truly amazing, the amount of work they put into this league is motivating, overall it drives me. I have been wanting to write articles for a while but I always put it off because of my depression that crept up on me, catching me off guard and knocking me off my feet. It's hard to stand back up but it's the responsible choice to choose versus staying down and not doing anything about it. I want to show people that you can stand back up after being kicked down by depression. But I want to do something for this league that will make it more well known and just overall a place for those who can't get a good dealt hand of cards that life hands out. I hope this article helps people breathe a little easier, it has certainly helped me lift myself and become something more here along with everyone else. I immensely love being a part of the community that's been growing here, I want to be more involved with the league and how it operates, or just generally to help out anyone I can. I know this article is a tad short, but if you read through this, thank you.
