****ty life

Cheers guys. Much appreciated.

Mental health is extremely debilitating. And, with physical issues even worse. Plus living alone in a bed sit. Plus, detached from everything. Plus, living in a ****ee hole. All adds up.

I hope that one day i can escape this living hell.

Thank God i have a strong faith. It means so much to me....

Thanks guys for your post.....
Love you all. Yes, ALL OF YOU..... Those i argue with and those i dont..

I’m always seeing groups of blokes on our local Facebook pages - is there anything like this around your way?

 
Stop being so selfish. Think about your daughter and her beau.
When they need a babysitter, you'll need to be available at the drop of a hat.
They're young, they'll have some babies, who will need a Grandpa, and your daughter will need a willing Grandfather to entertain the kids, teach 'em to bark on social media, hate cats, etc.
So start looking for some kind of kids entertainment course, juggling or clowning, pretending to be a dog, baying at the moon, or something. ;)
 
I am too shy for that myself...
I'd wager that's the same thing that most the presently active membership thought before they went along and tried it?

One of the things that makes us most resilient is the sense of connection to others and the sense of empathy we get from finding good uns whose situation resonates with our own. The step through the door might be the biggest one of your recent life, but ultimately the most rewarding (and if it doesn't gel for you, you'll know - there will be somewhere else that will; church, hobby clubs, volunteering etc)

Just gotta take it and find out

I think they all are to start with. Just seen this post today, sounds like he's in the same situation as you. You’ve gotta take some actions for yourself mate. Find somewhere similar near you and take the plunge - if you don’t like it, stop going but chances are everyone in those sort of groups have gone through something similar to what you are going through right now. They’ll all understand and will welcome you in - what have you got to lose?

Sorry to hear kool.

Nothing much to add that others haven't already said. But just do 1 thing different and outside of your normal things today, and again tomorrow and again the day after. Slow changes, nothing too much too fast.

Life is like a sine wave, there are ups and downs. Recognising that you are on a down is important, you know there will be an up.

Just do a little thing different, say hello to a stranger that walks past maybe. Lots of little things bring about changes, and that's probably all that is needed for you to get on to an up wave.


But what everybody should learn from this is nobody knows the mental state of anybody else in here, very few people open up, or even feel able to open up. Just remember that when you throw the insults out people, you could be the final straw to somebody. Have a good look at yourselves, and respect people as being people, just with a different view to yours.

It's often fear of rejection, but you can separate the person from the idea:

Remove yourself from any proposition, so that rejection isn't personal.
Do you want to go for a walk with me sometime? - a No is a rejection of the person.
I am going for a walk tomorrow, do you want to tag along? - a no is a rejection of the idea.

also Dogs are really frigin hard work when they are young. But you could always look at fostering a dog.

My master leaves the toilet seat up for me so that i can have a drink!!

Seriously though, i tend to go for a walk most days. Not easy as i suffer with a bad lower back and a bad right knee...
