Go climb a mountain
Sit up there enjoying the serenity , the wonder of nature and pat yourself on the back for the effort

“ There’s always a different view , it just depends which way you are facing “

On the contrary, paying rent, buying food and paying bills are all part of living in a society.

What you do with the rest of your time dictates how your life is lived and what you do with your one chance to have a crack at things.

Sometimes it’s hard to be focused on the good stuff bc the grind just keeps grinding!

I totally get it! It’s like a rinse cycle…. But you are so right! You only get one shot so you either change the cycle to delicate for a bit before you hit the outdoor cycle again! Rinse! Wash! Repeat! It’s life! It sucks but I’d rather be apart of it than not! 🫶🏻

Yep doing Different things outside of the drag of 9-5 life is key. I got up a 4am to photograph a comet that was only visible for 20 minutes the other day. The old me would have just snoozed the alarm, slept in and then regretted not doing it for the rest of the day. Now I’ve got this ****ing awesome photo, a great experience and the drive to do more astrophotography.

yeah you are correct. But i totally get what old mate is saying. The groundhog day, working, never getting ahead stuff, boredom isn't easy.

Why I believe it is healthy to change things up. But that requires taking risks and jumping into the deep end.

Also purpose, so important.

Having a purpose is key. 'Why am I here and what's the point?' is a question everyone struggles with at least once in their lives.

Find I start to get a bit nhilistic and less existential if there's nothing in the calendar to look forward to.

Book a holiday, go camping, catch up with friends, do those little things that give life meaning outside of the groundhog day activities.
 
Enough bullshit.
It's clear what the problem is
1) Work. a 6 o'clock alarm and wake up call is simply bullshit. It's not normal and is detrimental. Need a better job and life.
2) Not enough sex. Make more money and simply pay hookers. May offend people but that's simply the answer or go on a website. Doesn't matter simply get it done.
3)Retire. Try make money. Do what Ur takes. I don't care if I'm depressed and not normal.
Just need to.find a way to not working not deal with anyone

Sounds like a change of job to more accommodating hours should be the main focus. Once you've got that one done then worry about the rest. One step at a time.

We all know what the problem is **** work

Sometimes it feels better to have a good hard rant!

At the end of the day, money is the root of all our problems, well a massive contributor.

If we didn’t need it to live…..we wouldn’t need to work!

If we didn’t work.. then we wouldn’t be depressed.

Ya seeing my point here… since we spend so much time working!! May as well find something that remotely peaks our interest to get out of bed each day!

I love my job 🫶🏻

Sorry if it's been covered, but there was a pretty interesting Netflix doco on the link between gut health and brain health. It was a bit goofy, but the science checks out and it makes a pretty compelling argument. I suppose we always have thought about a link between food and mood, but this makes it a whole lot more real.

Was called "Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut".
 
It has been a tough few months and year in general with my physical health due to setback after setback. Unsurprisingly my mental health is following suit now. This time I got on top of it promptly and am seeing a psychologist. But it’s still incredibly hard. I am surrounded by loved ones and yet I feel so flat and alone with no light at the end of this dark, endless tunnel

Firstly, you aren’t alone! And right now, your tunnel is just clouded mate bc there is always a light! Always! Sometimes it takes longer to find.

I am so glad you are receiving help bc sometimes… we really can’t do it alone bc our minds tend to be our worst enemies.

Keep sharing mate 🫶🏻

Always here to listen

Thanks DP

It’s a unique situation which adds to the isolation feeling . I found a relevant online community last year and formed some connections with people a little more similar to me , which helped. Problem is that since then, things have improved for them, one by one, and they just get worse and worse for me. Some people IRL have distanced themselves from me too. I understand - I’m hard / not so fun to be around but it still hurts.

I left my dream job/field to prioritise my health and goals and it was meant to be temporary, but there is no end in sight to that either. And of course that comes with financial /general career related disappointment.

On a life front, I’m used to planning as way to have things to look forward to (however small) but after so many cancelled events over the last year (including many occasions where I let others down) due to my health I have almost given up on being able to plan or look forward to anything.

So overall it not only feels like the tunnel has no light at the end , but that somebody keeps extending it as it has taken much longer than I ever expected despite not having stopped by choice.

I’ll have to work through some of this with the psychologist again , as my usual /previous strategies aren’t working.

That isolation feeling is the absolute worst hence why I spend so much time online so I’m not alone.

But just remember mate… we are all running our own race! Your journey is your own so you can’t compare your path to anyone else’s!

The fact you are doing something about it is the bravest thing you could do!

Keep talking! Keep breathing! Keep believing that the light will shine again xx

Ironically being online sometimes makes me feel even more alone . I don’t find it a substitute for real life company but it’s way better than no company.

The comparisons lie from my own expectations of myself /my life , even low expectations, that are not met

I’m doing something about it after having learnt the consequences of not doing something about it, the hard way . Plus I know Christmas , anniversaries and other dates are coming up and those are always triggering.

Ironically both talking and breathing has been tougher recently (again, due to physical health) but at least that should ultimately get better

Sorry to hear things aren’t improving much mwpp but I’m glad you’re seeing a psychologist and hope they can make a difference. Myself and my wife are always open for a chat if you need.

Like MP mate. Always here to lend a friendly ear mate. One day I may even need to repay to favour and honestly, this place is full of so many caring people who will gladly listen and expect nothing in return. So don’t be afraid to keep sharing or not… whatever is best you.

Good luck with everything. ❤️
Keep your chin pointed to the sun my friend 🫶🏻
