Mental Health Discussion

Thank you for the message 🥰 it's appreciated.

And thank you to all who commented and checked in, too. I took a couple of days off work, slept, watched some telly had some quiet time with hubby, a big cry, then slapped a smile on my face, walked for my One Foot Forward (hut my fund-raising goal, and am halfway to my km one) and am ready to go and visit my young friend in hospital 🤞hoping he's well enough for a visit today

Yep, life can be a bloody hard slog at times, and I know you have had your share.
Keep your walking going at least every 2nd day as it produces feel good hormones, but I'm sure you know that already, so this is just a reminder.

NO GROG as it doesn't help in the long run, only makes things worse...and I'm talking from experience here and gave up drinking alcohol of any sort about 35 years ago.

And lastly...find a psychologist or even a Social Worker/Nurse to download your feelings onto.
If you are open and honest with him/her they can definitely help you.
But you must be prepared to open up fully and tell it like it is as they are trained in body language and will know if you are bullshitting.

This is from QUORA.COM and written by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is a Democrat Congresswoman in the U.S.A.

My dad died when I was 18.
My mom scrubbed toilets and drove school buses.
I bartended to help her and still won a Congressional primary at 28.

I'll take my family over a fat bank account any day, and my experience makes me a better legislator.

I am the people I work for.

Some people are just born with the right stuff, courage, determination to do the right thing and help others.
How many of us are guilty of not using the gifts we were given at birth?

The famous Pommie actor has said...
Distance is the only answer to disrespect.
Don't argue, don't react.
Don't get involved in drama.
Simply remove your presence.
Edit...oh shoot, I left the actors name out...Rowan Atkinson.

I stand by this. I ghosted someone I had known my entire life. Some friends don't want you to succeed they just compare themselves to you. I never regret just cutting them off, disrespect doesn't deserve a response.

You can find better examples than this twit surely?Vance is far more fitting.
She is a race and gender baiting, socialist idiot whose only contribution has been muddying the waters of sensible debate with over the top hysterics through her identity politics. Everything she says is either untrue, ridiculous or intentionally misleading. Most ideas she puts forward are fundamentally unworkable and despite her knowing F-all about economics she keeps being put on committees where proper professionals and expert witnesses make her look like a fool time and time again.
Democrats like her are responsible for the rise of Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon.

I genuinely don't know how the Democrats and in particular AOC are responsible for the rise of Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon.
I don't want to start any arguing here.

One thing about modern politics…you will never convince your opponents to defect to your worldview.
It is highly unlikely society will ever become bi-partisan again ….unless something wild happens like aliens invade…..

I've got a very very slight feeling 😉 that you prefer the Republicans over the Democrats.
Am I correct?
