Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

For me, I definitely find that eating healthier (less sugar and processed foods, more veg and whole grains) helps to improve my depression symptoms. I can tell myself that I'm doing something good for my body. I have more energy and am more motivated to exercise. I've fallen off the exercise wagon recently and, no surprise, there's been a lot of unhealthy food in my diet. I also struggle with a lack of focus. Cooking helps give me something to focus on. When I'm chopping veg, I have to pay attention or things could get very messy.

I know that there are people here who know both you and Sin better than I do, but I am pretty confident that she would want you to take care of yourself and keep living with a vengeance. And that she holds no anger at your absence. Depression often pulls you away from people when you need them the most. I know how it feels when you just want to give up and crawl off into a deep dark cave. And it fucking sucks. I know that there are other folks on this thread who know that feeling too. Music helps me a lot... this is one of my favorite songs when I need to remind myself that I am not done living yet.

I love the lyrics ❤️

I thought I knew who it was but then realised its Frank Carter that I knew. I've not heard of Turner before, might need to look him up.

Thank you for your kind words and motivation, you can always tell when someone can relate to where/what u are and giving advice that helped them, it means a lot and I'm grateful to you and everyone else that has been very supportive ❤️
 
Maybe its time to turn off the video games, the tv screen and the phone. Go get lost in the woods, enjoy some nature, work on a project, learn a new skill.. do some man shit at your own pace. The hum drum of the world as it is these days can make us forget what being a man is actually like. Get your hands dirty, conquer something. Push through your self imposed limitations. Chin up, chest out brother.
Brilliant really. It has always been something that renews me.

This is simple but sound advice even though I dont know what “being a man” feels like 😜
Seriously a change of scenery, using your body and less screens can make a difference.
And no the irony that I'm typing this on my phone isn't lost on me.
This is tough shit to move through but move through you must.

Nice! One of several songs FT has done with buddy of mine.

 
Think alot about this:
“And once the storm is over you won’t remember you how made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what the storm’s all about.”

~ Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

My wife wants me to get lost in the woods. Joking aside its a good idea, I need less stress.
