What are your options, al?

Everything is interesting if what you're doing interests you.

Wise words young biscuits

Some friends have invited me to a party at theirs. I don't know if I have the social energy to go. My battery is pretty low atm.
I don't really know what else I'd be doing. Probably reading crap on the internet like usual.

[Professor Willow]

Like I have swallowed burning coal.
For a few days I started to think my reflux was settling down - hahaha think again!
And anxiety is being a dick as well.

That sounds great! Are you friendly enough to say your social battery is low and are they cool with you dipping out. I did that and was surprised at how understanding people can be about stuff like that.

The alternative is arriving later so you don't have to be there that long, so you can read crap online before you go and have company for the countdown - best of both options

[Ronnie_Pickering]

To be rid of 2022?

[Stepford]

Waiting for the paracetamol, codine and amitriptyline to kick in. Not in the best of moods. A new year without my wife...

Yeah me also.

[Rocket Spud]

Lil drunk. I did bad. Nevermind. It'll be the last time for a while.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

What year….is it?

[Mr. Nobody]

Very tired and achey,..
Covid-19 has struck again,

Hopefully I won't be able to go back to work this week after all

[Dougella]

^ Oh no! But yes maybe you will get some more time off this week.

[Rocket Spud]

Very pleased to have one day left before going back to work.

I hope so. I have a good feeling this year.

Keep at it! Walking is so good for you. The more you do it the easier it gets too.

Thank you NeverWas. I do, we were like . 'Met' her on SAUK. I know it's old fashioned but I'm sure we will be together again.

[Existential Jam]

Really awful.

Do you find this point of the year ending and new one beginning particularly turbulent? I woke up today with throbbing anxiety out of nowhere. No accompanying thoughts, just full of dread of EVERYTHING.

[Merritt]

Sorry you've been feeling like that, Jam and Biccies. I can relate. The new year doesn't mean much to me, nor should it, but it's hard not to get a bit introspective and weigh up what's been and what's to come. I was lying in bed last night kind of wishing I was dead. Nothing to worry about, I think I'm just immensely bored with myself, and weighed down by the thought of another 365 days of being me-ness before it's time for another round of new year's introspection and repeat and repeat and repeat.

[Clumsy*]

Please don't "be dead".

I think everyone will agree with me that there is zero boringness in you Merritt.

But I understand that how you view yourself can feel impossible to shake off.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

ugh a groggy morning. See if agency gets back to me about the data entry position they were offering. I can walk to town. Maybe have a walk on the moors. Got to get some toothpaste. That's my Thursday.

[anxiouslondoner]

why am I so ****ing tired this week? I'm getting about 12 hours sleep and still wake up feeling like crap.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

yeah it is a mystery sometimes.

Thanks both. I hope you both are ok too.

Yeah I think you're right Biscuit, it's the abrupt change, forced reflection and catastrophising/dread about the year ahead that really messes with me.

[Kooky Monster]

Wide awake.

Another night of anxiety induced insomnia

[anxiouslondoner]

Miserable AF

[Stepford]

Feeling extremely tired and depressed as usual an anxious about taking a taxi to have a ultrasound scan. Think I'll pull a covid and go later next week.

[Stepford]

^^ Same.

[Consolida]

Very worried and stressed

[Percy]

A hug for consolida

[Dougella]

Consolida I had been wondering how everything was going with you and your family.
