Key bit for me: "What a horrendous, horrendous feeling. Not playing," said Trafford. "You are ringing a lot of people and just venting. Like most people, you have a [bad] day at work and you ring someone up. "I ring my dad, I ring my mum, I ring my missus, I ring my mates. I like ringing my mates and we can just have a good talk about it all. It's quite funny. "I had to play regularly this season for my own mental wellbeing. You just lose yourself not playing. "Maybe I'm different, I don't know, but the feeling of not playing every week, it felt horrendous. "I just had to play every week this season for that mental feel-good and to keep progressing with my career and edging me closer to achieving the dreams I want to achieve." Glad to hear players being more open about how things can affect their mental wellbeing.   submitted by   /u/MeteorSwarmGallifrey [link]   [comments]
