Try and get out in the daylight for a walk about, always does me the world of good when things start feeling too much. Around the park or nature if you can.

Feel like I have completely lost it in the last week or so though, today has just about topped it off.
Without trying to sound dramatic or like one of those facebook mum's, I'm really not in a good place and I Just don't really know what to do. Route cause of course comes back to the female situation, but the lockdown is making it hard for me to trust myself on what is getting me down or to what extent the lockdown is amplifying it.
Just been called into a meeting in the office early next week. Looks like I am about to get the boot from work now.
Couldn't get any better could it?
Fucking gyms closed again, anyone for a Fight Club at mine?
Sorry to hear this mate. Hopefully it will lead to a new opportunity elsewhere. Try and take a positive if you canJust been called into a meeting in the office early next week. Looks like I am about to get the boot from work now.

it could be the beginning of a new better chapter in your life. being made redundant in 2017 at the age of 51 was scary but turned out to be the best thing to happen as that workplace was contributing to my depression.Just been called into a meeting in the office early next week.

Really sorry to hear that mate. It's always the sentence that pisses me off most when I am down, but it tends to be true, things will get better. Whilst it won't necessarily make it easy, I would start by setting yourself a goal that is accomplishable over the next few weeks with what's available to you a) to keep you healthy active and b) keep your mind occupied on something positive. I obviously don't know you, but something as simple as, 'Cycle *** miles before the New Year', 'Lose 10lbs by Christmas', 'Run 5k', whatever is a suitable goal for you. It may well seem redundant compared to what you are going through, but focussing your mind on something/anything positive can be so important in coming out the other side better for it.Lockdown, broken up with the missus. Fuck me it's going to be a tough month.

I thought I was going to get fired the other month and they gave me a promotion. Anxiety is a bitch.
A lot of wallowing and moping. But at this second I feel a very weird sense of peace. Almost where I can hear the wind blowing and every car going past. Part of me knows that its going to be ok, just getting to that stage is the hard bit.
Not at all. Seen her the weekend, against lockdown (Sorry Boris), and things seemed normal. Just put my headset on to start work and the call came in from her ending it.Were you expecting it?
If I put my energy into something productive rather than social media I’m sure I’d achieve something good. SBT is my only exception though.
It's the worse one of the lot mate!
tbf, I'm pretty sure it's the one that ex Girlfriends don't frequent!It's the worse one of the lot mate!

ive just deleted all my social media. Been meaning to do it for a long long time and finally took the plunge. I can still see her checking up I my profile and the temptation to give in and message her is too great.

I do wonder if for adults, having children forces a bit more getting on though, as it's not all about you. I know the morons would fight regardless...I've got a five year old with my ex (still technically married) so I have to see her. And we are getting on remarkably well considering.
I'm fully aware that could change when other people enter the equation but it's making things a hell of a lot easier for now.

Yep. Just lost my job. Fuck it I guess then.
Will take today to myself and then go from there.

Definitely feeling it here, I just want to see my mum and dad...raging with work colleagues in general a lot too but concentrating on my own business on the side which is a bit of light, the uncertainty of everything means that’s a worry too but if it wasn’t for that bit of light it’d be even worse...I am fine thanks but hearing from, or about, a lot of people that aren't.
The mental health impact of this situation seems to be starting to hit home.

It's the exercise bit fucking me up, I know people go out jogging etc but I just can't do it. Mentally and Physically jogging isn't happening.
Really noticing not being as active.
not playing 5 a side is fucking me up.
Play on a Monday night, always hate the thought of going especially if I've over indulged at the weekend but it really sorts me out and I feel great afterwards.
I don't mind jogging but can't get motivated to do it, or anything else, on a Monday night so don't get that blow out and now just feel sluggish all week.
With my impending job loss I'm going to knock my gym membership on the head so I''ve got to get in the habit of running/training at home but it's difficult.
Earlsdon and Clint -sorry to hear about your work situations, good luck with searching. Next year will be a better year !
I know what people are saying about exercise, gym football etc, it’s partially the routine of it all. I try and still do some stuff at home (press ups, resistance bands etc) and go for the odd run (when the great British weather allows !). Not the same though. Do try to still do some bits though as it does help !
