Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

yeah i hear you, yeah alcohol doesn't help really. I don't know. Helps me get to sleep but doesn't work like magic all night. Anything is better than this sometimes though. Hope tonight is good to you as well @WIP

Nah nah @Anastasia whats he getting? You gunna get one with him? Go on, do it.
thoroughly did not enjoy my walk. Very quick, very painful, but it's done now haha it's a more acceptable time to start drinking now, goal achieved.
aw thanks for having me there in spirit @Anastasia no plans here tonight which is starting to get old. I might be miserable when my kid is here but at least it keeps me alive. When hes not here it's that much harder. But look, ai think I'll leave you to it tonight. You've got a lot to celebrate and it's been a good day over there. Enjoy your pizza and have a great night 🤘

Hmmmmm @saltandpepper
kinda getting the vibe that you aren't ok?
Wanna talk about what's going on in your head - I am here for you 10000000%
I want to tell you about his tat, but I never really share too much about him for obvious reasons, sorry gosh I wish there was a way.
Lol, I'm to old for one S&P, had my opportunity many years ago and now feel like I have missed the boat.
Talk to me I am here for you, really I am 💙

Hey @saltandpepper
I've been lost for so long, that when recently my pdoc asked me "What are your hobbies"? I answered him and responded "at the moment, I don't even know what I like anymore". So, I'm starting small - diamond painting, paint by sticker etc. Ideally, I'd love to get back into the gym, do some volunteering work, join a group where I can meet ppl.I'm usually a very social person, but some traumatic events that have triggered my depression & anxiety - I just feel stuck! A shadow of who I used to be.
Hopenyou get some restful sleep tonight, even if it's just a few uninterrupted hours. Good Luck!
