months of complete inactivity, some days I take fewer than 50 steps all day, depressive comfort eating, excess alcohol

once a day already, I really can't be arsed to make food more often than that. I visit the local shop half a mile away and
drive there and back so I can get back inside my house as soon as possible. My curtains haven't been opened in months.
I've let myself get into such a shit state that I don't even want to go outside anymore. |
I got "a bit like that" when I eventually worked out that the Big Fella had left.
Had to fish a cup out of a sink full of two-week old dirty dishes just to make myself a coffee some days. Still only washed the cup, didn't actually *do* the dishes for another week or two. Congratulated self when I finally did. Some weeks I'd only wash knickers so that I had enough clean ones to go to work, nobody else was gonna pay my bills. Walking half a block to the local Londis to buy more cake, or milk for coffee was almost too much hard work. Everything else came from online shopping and even the delivery guy from Dominos/Asda was one person too many to deal with.
Eventually you can come out of it, small steps are indeed the best way forward.
Sounds stupid, but definitely celebrate doing those small steps. Ain't nobody else gonna pat you on the back. So Grr's gotta do it.
congratulate yourself for opening the curtains.
say "well done that man" when you lob an empty baked bean can of into the rubbish bin without flicking sauce onto the wall.
If you do flick sauce on the wall, pat yourself on the back if you can find the energy to wipe it off. If not, no worries, you can always lick it off when you get hungry.
watch a movie that makes you appreciate the life you have, even if you think its shit.
Something about veterans with blown off legs always works for me.
practice not hating yourself: look in the mirror at least once a week and tell yourself "you're alright, you are".
Give yourself a sheepish grin and a thumbs up for talking to yourself in the mirror.
Sit out in the back garden and do nothing but concentrate on breathing for ten minutes.
Zone out the sound of everything except bird song, or motorbikes, whatever floats your boat.
Deny yourself something for a whole day: screen-time, homicidal musings, maybe tell yourself you're not ALLOWED to beat granny to the cheap deals.
Then congratulate yourself : What an awesome bloke! You went a whole day without thinking about garrotting a defenceless old pensioner
celebrate your insanity but don't publicly crown yourself king of the fools. Nothing more offputting that someone telling you how what a crazy mad bastard they are
reacquaint yourself with the world outside the UK - read some sort of international journal, a paper version not online. Go into WH Smith and just pick one out: doesn't even matter which: New Statesman, Economist, International Affairs - fuck, just buy yourself a copy of Gazzetto dello Sport if you have to .... Just get some news in ya from beyond the borders of the UK.
Have a wank to celebrate once you've had enough stamina to read it from cover to cover.
Tell yourself that being bitter is for beer and dandelion leaves, not sexy beasts.
bask in the glow of success when you pick up your socks and put them in the laundry basket, yay. Grr says: well done that man.
I know how hard it is! I promise, babe.
I will freely admit to having done all of the above, and can recommend them for self-improving attitude towards oneself. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

I concur with Hellcat. Having suffered myself, small steps plus physical challenges are what got me out of it. I gave up my role as an office worker and became a postman. 6 months of that over COVID where we couldn't share a van so I used to leave the depot with two full bags sorted me out physically, which meant I was knackered when I got in from work in the middle of the afternoon and needed a kip. I began to value time off, which in turn translated to me valuing life again. Two stone lighter too...
Now I'm working in offices again and all is good, but if I could afford it I'd still be a postman.
Possibly not an answer for everyone, but it worked for me... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

If you want to buy a cycle and stash it in my garage for a ride up and down the kennet and Avon for whatever distance, feel free. Your motorbike will be safe the whole time, just make sur that Mrs Bastard doesn't see you. Someone 6 inches taller than me might float her boat...
I'd be surprised if it does after 20 years of Mr Stubby. ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."

It's hardly a secret that she was heavily influenced by Joel Chandler Harris who wrote the Uncle Remus tales which were based on plantation slaves' oral tradition. In fact she studies and illustrated some of the Uncle Remus tales. |

A good friend got mugged last night. 60 years old, off to work at 11pm (works nights). Stops at a cash point to get £50 quid out. Card in, does the buisness, card out, waiting for money and the bloke behind him who he thought was just waiting to use the machine smacks him over the head with an empty vodka bottle and when he's on the floor, takes the money from the cash point and runs off.
20 minutes for the police to arrive and then gets told, 'It's probably been spent on drugs already, nothing we can do'
Oh yes, I won't tell you what ethnicity he was as I'll be accused of racism. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Less to do with diversity than deprivation, poverty, addiction, homelessness, Brexit, cuts to policing and justice system, lack of support for mental health services do I need to go on?
All caused by 13 years of a corrupt Tory government.
Off you go….... |
LMAO, Labour never did nuffink not never they is all holey angles, innit. Everything was so brilliant with Labour the only way the Tories got in was by rigging elections, I read that on Facebook so it must be true
The rot started after WWII and if you want to be really generous maybe the Tories were jogging rather sprinting to the Left-Wing.
