Ayatollah Hermione 3,719 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Work is also boxing my nut in since everyone is dropping like flies and the management are fucking hopeless in times of any kind of stress. I will say that fucking Twitter off last year helped enormously. I can only assume you have to be mentally ill or a chronic attention seeker to use that with any kind of frequency; it’s just a depression scroller. I think it’s fairly apparent that things are going to be absolutely fucked from here on in; economically, climate-wise, the lot so I think it’s more Important than ever to have any kind of support platform. Even if it is this bunch of pisstakers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gemmill 2,751 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 57 minutes ago, Dr Gloom said: things feel worse now than they did at the start of the crisis. then it was new, scary but also kind of fascinating - the enormity of the story, the zoom calls with friends and family, getting your weekly shop in at the local corner shop, clapping for the NHS - all that bollocks the in the summer felt almost tolerable. case numbers falling then plateauing, little holidays around the country, getting out and seeing people a bit more - i started to feel i could get used to life like this. now we're heading into winter, the inevitable second wave is here, we have at least 6 more months of this - probably another year, or more - it's bleak. no wonder anxiety levels are through the roof. i went to the pub last night, which doesn't help on that front. Thanks for lifting the mood. Ok it looks like avoid social media AND mute Dr Gloom's posts might be the way forward now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

strawb 830 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Mixed. Found a lump on my ribs (got a scan this weekend), think I might have flu too. I’ve been rough as fuck for a couple of days but none of the stated corona symptoms. House is upside down from all the work, still waiting on planning permission to do the major work because it’s a conservation area and planning departments are shitholes full of jobsworths. On the flip side my old man has finished his cancer treatment and it’s looking positive so far, and I’ve been offered a director level role within a different part of the group I currently work for. Less stress, more interesting work and more money. Look after yourselves 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheGingerQuiff 1,632 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Been unintentionally on less calories than Gemmill after a bit of a shocker of a break-up. Despite all the perceived wisdom around such issues, taking a run and jump is proving difficult to resist. At one point after 5 sleepless nights I was straight up having visual hallucinations. Tried throwing myself into the gym for therapy but the appetite loss sapped me, and of course now it's closed. So I've come back on here given how cheerful it's been recently. Haven't been reading at all lately, any high points? Renton done anything nuts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheGingerQuiff 1,632 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Had a good bash at drink and drugs and that doesn't seem to be either. Went canny radgie and punched a double glazed window through, after her woman-beating ex appeared at it squaring up to me from behind the glass when I went to collect my belongings, which whilst highlighting how nails I am ultimately resulted in a lot of blood and a visit from the police. So of course now I'm the bad guy, not the lying slag or the woman-beater she's returned to. Pretty much gone full-hobo now, haven't shaved in weeks which for a man that can't grow a beard isn't a good look. Also had to engage in a period of self-isolation which has left me alone to ruminate on events. All fun and games Edited November 15, 2020 by TheGingerQuiff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheGingerQuiff 1,632 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I've lost interest in even my regular hobbies. Didn't even realise the toon were on last Friday. Been sat watching the 24/7 Pawn Stars channel on IPTV for about 5 days. Might actually see a doctor, but without relative anonymity it's not really that easy to talk about.

We had a fall out, without actually breaking up, and I retreated waiting basically waiting for her to apologise. Rather than do that, she got back with her ex and it's my fault for not having been in touch for weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheGingerQuiff 1,632 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 And didn't tell me about it until I caved in like a soft-shite after realising her apology wasn't forthcoming, mainly because my birthday was coming up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
