Have been unusually quiet on here the last wee while, I’ve took a wee break from all social media to just reconnect with the things that really matter in life after a tough few weeks for me mentally. Feeling a lot more “at it” now and I’ll be back with my incessant whinging as of next weekend. Also been on a break from the drink and takeaways for two weeks now and feeling all the better for it, the body and mind is a temple and all that stuff. Hope everyone is well.

Nice to see you back mate and glad you are starting to feel better 👍

I posted further up as I was going through a really bad spell, only trigger I think was my ill health, diabetes, high blood pressure and waiting on a Urology procedure at WGH, been waiting almost 2 years on an “urgent” consultation and procedure

Went to Doctors, a great Doctor who asked me to come in ultra early for a face to face which took almost 1 hour. We discussed my problems with a fine tooth comb and we came up with a strategy, a low doze of Sertraline to kick things off and some time away from work

Thus far I seem to be sleeping better, my appetite is back and most importantly my mood has lifted. I still have my down days but I try to make them purposeful by doing things around the house and garden, spreading things out over the week which gives me an activity to do daily which keeps me mentally and physically active

My dog is my best pal too and is such great company when I have my low days, its like he knows and can read my feelings, he is very tactile and even if sitting on the couch or lying in bed he always makes sure he is making contact with me. Every morning between 0550 to 0600 he pushes his nuzzle into my arm to waken me up as thats the time I would normally rise for work in the morning, its like he is making sure I stick to my routine

Bloody amazing 💚

Stick in mate 👍
