Can I have the GPS coordinates for the local forest please?

[Ronnie_Pickering]

interesting- he did look similar. Not sure the GPS coordinates but I can give you the what 3 words one:

Devon Forest Nearby.

[biscuits]

^ :D haha

I always think it's a shame that it's not socially acceptable to sit in a trolley and be pushed around whilst you do your shopping as an adult.

I've only got to be at work until 11am today

[avoider]

I do nothing day to day..but have never felt more content..what’s wrong with me?

[The Devil, Probably.]

The stress people claim to feel around Christmas always strikes me as a bit fabricated/played up to. Like people walking to work with a coffee in their hand. There's something a bit fake about it.

People shopping for presents on Christmas Eve - as if Christmas has come as a calendarical surprise this year.

Christmas is defo something that is as stressful as one makes it ior allows it to become.

I think i am depressed. I’m wanting to get a diagnosis to get treatment and take a break from working. I don’t know if that is wishy washy thinking. I think I’m a hard worker, most people seem to say but then i don’t usually bond with most people. I’m probably also toxic.

It would be hard in a way if i quit work and for a depression diagnosis, especially because my family judge me as okay only when I’m working. But then i think i have to let go of their opinions if it hasn’t helped me a because according to them i should also be married and have kids but i know that that wouldn’t be the best with the state I am in. They don’t seem to ask why i am not married or doing a uni degree.

^^ maybe I'm ADHD but I find it hard to give a crap about things until I'm really stressed about them, and even that doesn't always help.
I'm always hoping I'll come up with some great Christmas present ideas but it never happens, so I half-arse it at the last minute. I'd rather just not bother with the entire season.

Christmas is such a difficult and stressful time of year for so many reasons: grief, illness, split families, loneliness, financial pressure, social obligations, and it's one of those times of year that can be especially difficult with anyone with suicidal thoughts, instances of domestic violence rise at this time of year as well. It's one of those times of year where so many things happen that are out of anyone's control so understandably stressful.

The thing that stresses me out is the cooking for other people side of things because I'm just so scatty and can't seem not to be. It always turns out okay but the process... stressful haha

[The Devil, Probably.]

Most of those things listed seem to be very much within people's control to me.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

where should I walk? Will a walk remove this accumulating viral load?

How much I’m dreading Christmas

So true. Wanted to book in to a hotel to just escape it all this year for the reasons you state, but It's Difficult. It's a really crushing time of year mentally for a lot of people.

^ I hope you manage to get some peace or escape if only for a little bit. I'll be thinking of you x

[Dean Winchester]

^ I really appreciate that very much, biscuits, you're a real one. But I've been thinking of you! Are you still really ill? It sounded nasty.

[biscuits]

^ aw, thank you it's coming to its end just a little bit blocked and scratchy. The pressure is lifting from my face. I just feel so wiped out and tired all the time

[Percy]

Wouldn't it be great if we could buy books and instantly download the information into our brains

Over thinking again from years gone past!

[Stepford]

Bugger.

[Professor Willow]

I'm not looking forward to spending the afternoon with a one year old who is fully of snot, bogies and sneezes.
Being ill sends my anxiety through the roof and I can't be doing with getting lurgy right now.

[Dougella]

^ People really shouldn't be bringing young children who are ill to be around family right now. One year olds are nice when they're not ill though!

[Professor Willow]

^ yes I agree.
When she's not poorly she's a right character but today I think she would much rather be asleep.

[anxiouslondoner]

I'm not sure why you assume the two topics are intimately connected, Duolingo, but I'll have to take your word for it right now.

[Percy]

I wish there was a "benefit claimants lives matter" tshirt

[BFG_]

The weather today sucks.

[biscuits]

How difficult it is to resist the urge to look at a restaurant menu before going.

[Percy]

^ I'd say it's quite sensible

[Percy]

Can anyone recommend a good book on socialism?

[limey123]

^ Das Kapital?

[Percy]

I'm looking for something a little more recent
