Seems as if bank holidays are always times where I have a bit of a down. The only real purpose in my life for a while now is my job and an extended weekend with no plans gives me a glimpse of what life would look like without this purpose. I’m not going to go into the specifics of what gets to me on here, mainly because I feel like it would be weird, but half the time I just feel like billy-no-mates and just that guy that everyone knows of but nobody has any real interest in. I’m in this rut of purely existing at the moment. Maybe meeting new people would help with some of the feelings I have but it’s so much harder to meet people when you don’t know anyone; people may have suggestions to how I could meet some new people, but in reality I know that deep down I really do not like the process of artificially putting myself out there to get to meet people, so all I’ll end up doing is bottling it and doing nothing. 

I hear you mate. 

 

But the bottling it bit....that's 'the game'  isn't it you? you have to ride over it. 

 

I once dropped a handwritten note through a block of flats I moved in to after a break up. Absolutely excruciating. So not me. Basically saying I was new, had previously been quite unfriendly but wanted a fresh start and was hosting a 'flat warming' ......I got 5 replies from 40 flats and had drinks, meals out, cups of tea  a fella who contacted me who was having a breakdown and had no-one (he told me he felt the note meant i was approachable) and I also found a mate for life out of it ...I almost nearly got a date. I hated 'humiliating' myself like that....but it worked.

Bit of a tough spell for me currently. Had a bit of a freak out over my life; what I'm doing, where I'm going etc, ended up breaking up with my gf the other day and I'm just feeling pretty crap. 

Forcing myself to the gym each day and I'm hoping my next work rotation distracts me from some of it. Funny how life works, I was feeling great 6 weeks ago.

Does anyone have the feeling at times of comparing yourself to others, particularly to those at your age?..

 

Admittedly, I do this at times for no particular reason and it's hard to shrug off.

We all do it mate, it's human nature.

 

I'm currently reading this book which explains it in great deal.

 

It's perfectly normal to compare ourselves to others.

I've come out of my depressive state during a stint on the sidelines after a unicycle accident during my time in the circus. I wrote some poetry to help myself through the struggles of every day life as the years roll on. 

 

Here is my poem about Leicester

 

Oh Rodgers, Oh Rodgers

Nottingham Forest are todgers

We need to secure a Premier place

To put a smile on my Faes

 

Oh Brendan, Oh Brendan

You are my heaven 

Please turn our Ndidi

Into a prime Maldini

 

Oh Rodgers, Oh Rodgers

Badgers and Bodgers

Heskey was my childhood

And Vardy is my best bud

 

Oh Brendan, Oh Brendan

Are you from Eden

We maybe last right now

But we will survive somehow

I hate Bank Holidays as I lose that sense of purpose and I hate the disruption in my routine.

Social anxiety is an absolute b***

 

Waste so much time and money planning things to look forward to then overthink things and back out at the last min and spend the evening feeling down

 

Wish I could just be decisive and put myself first sometimes

I'm with you. Mrs PF organises a few get togethers with (mainly her) friends which I accept but then get seriously anxious about it the day before, to the point where I can't sleep. I want to say no but then she feels let down by me. So I go ahead only to I find I can't interact. Mrs PF then tells me I'm being ignorant. It's hard for someone who doesn't suffer, to understand. The irony is, in my career as a Paramedic, interaction with complete strangers was never a problem for me. I just feel I have nothing to contribute to social occasions.

I'm only comfortable interacting with long term, trusted friends or close family. That's about 6 people.

I think it's sometimes also the reverse with me where I really want to do something or go somewhere but then feel obliged to spend time with the family (who I see everyday). It's healthy sometimes to have your own space but it's frustrating why I just can't be decisive when it comes to myself
