Bloody twitter seems like blue pill red pill watching atrocities in 4K reading news weeks days before it happens I’m finding myself addicted to this constant stream of misery coming out of Ukrainian hoping the butcher dictator loses
The one follow from a notable left wing commentator takes you to the vile maggots of the hard left apologist that blame the rape and slaughter on America feel like I’m floating from bubble to bubble doom scrolling looking for answers i want to understand why I know as I understand why it provides no relief
I lose time with my kids family I cry real tears as I watch incredible courage and resilience of the ultimate underdogs
It’s not heathy I check my sons training and footy games Facebook big footy twitter weather quotes news it’s stealing my attention 6 months since I read a book
Here I am on my phone confessing not expecting absolution some times writing talking makes things more concrete less ethereal and I can change something

Hiya Azlou
Might be time to step away from the social media for a bit?
Sounds like it has dragged you down to a dark place. Feeling powerless and overwhelmed daily is tough on body mind and spirit.
Maybe just look into positive ways you can make a small but valuable difference for folks in Ukraine, without the political narratives? Small donations to people providing meals etc might help.
Drag back your equilibrium by taking care of yourself and doing what you can, and setting boundaries for yourself.
Welcome to this safe place too! Great to hear from you.

Dramoth, are you getting some good psych help?

Yeah, I see a psychologist every 2-3 weeks ATM. However, because of my home situation of caring for my mother... I'm unable to really get some peace so I can settle things down in my head. So, in otherwords, my PTSD isn't really being treated because of shit at home that keeps putting me back onto the edge again.

Doesn’t sound good, sorry to hear. Is there any type of respite you can get for your mum?

And that's me ****ed for the day.

I was just told by my mum that "You don't speak to me like I'm a piece of shit under your foot, you're a piece of shit under my foot because that's where you dropped out!" end quote.

The reason for this whole blow up is because I paid the registration on "her trailer"... "her trailer". She's like why are you paying that for, Jamin (Essendon supporting grandson) is paying for it. And I said well, talk to him and get the money off him. I might have been a bit snappy about it... because she never pays for ****ing anything. I have to organise paying for shit for her.

Sorry to hear mate...

Just ignore it... Chuck your headphones on and watch the footy on you computer...
 
Anniversary of my first year in business after 25 years in a secure, state government management position. So happy to have survived the first 12 months. Been a killer but, very rewarding.
Celebrating with a quiet Bundy Black and coke tipple.
The last 2+ years have been a dark road at times, frequent times really, but I’m still kicking. Didn’t think I would be more than once as some on here would know.
One step at a time Baggers, keep moving forward.
 
My other half (it's complicated) has her family court trial finally this Thursday and Friday.

I got sick on Saturday. Was ill all day so missed most of our game live and woke up at about 3/4 time.

She said that she was coming down with something that night. Sure enough by the morning she waa blowing up in the 39's temperature wise, feeling the worst she's done for years, etc.

RAT came back negative, thankfully (all vaxed here) so onto the home doctor. 7.5 hours later the doctor comes out, is mindblown by his thermometer readings and then I show him the readings I have on ours which he uses himself. They match.

Long story short he diagnoses her with awful tonsilitis (non-infectious) and it looks like she and her son are getting wrapped in cotton wool for the rest of the week.

Stressful times. Trying not to allow them to impact my posting. Apologies ahead of time if something flies through to the keeper but I think I'm much improved this way these days.

Best of luck with court result Wick. Day at a time. Hopefully you can both be present for it by Thursday?

Holy maceroli.

So before trial my partner got put separately to her ex.

His barrister talked him off of a hill and basically begged for him to take her offer.

He kept demanding silly things like picking the kid's religion (neither are religious), etc.

Finally, his barrister convinced him it was worth it to agree to everything as he had no case and it would have been brutal in trial.

So this is fantastic.

But the sporting part of me kinda feels like she put all this effort and money into trial and she didn't have to fight for it. Obviously it is tiny in the grand scheme of things but wowee.

Thanks guys. Thanks for all your support over the past years with everything.

She may not have gotten her fight in court but she was there when the judge said "i am pleased that this order is entirely in the best interests of the child" so she got her moment.

Apparently it broke him. Hopefully he uses it to make himself a better person, someone who can be an eventually very good participant in the kid's life when he gets older and can decide he wants Dad in his life more.

Super glad you're doing well mate. You're one of lifes good ones!
 
Heard ex Crow and Saint Fergus Watts on SEN this morning, CEO of Reach and founder of Australia's latest independent marketing company. It was very educational for me, I was staggered to learn how much money the Gov pumps into mental health as a reactionary thing versus zilch for preventative measures in the mental health development of kids. Did anyone else hear it? If so, thoughts?

Really struggling atm. I’ve probably annoyed a lot of people on this board over the time as I am often cynical and pessimistic. Just know that it was nothing personal.

Don't sweat the little stuff Jimmy. Enjoy the game tomorrow.

You're all good in my books.

Real world shit happens. Can impact our behaviours and by extension our actions.

The real ones forgive. The others don't matter.

If you ever need a chat or a PM feel free to drop me a note.
