Life is a joke

[William Luk]

I’m in the house alone and I’ve got no family and I’m sick of my life. Queen has died and my favourite team Leicester is going to championship. Nobody cares about me. ffs

We care William. I think that we all feel down at the moment. You are not alone.

Nice mug. LCFC is a continuous rollercoaster, the ups are around the corner! Keep the faith William!

[Jon the Hat]

Think about how glorious it will be when we move onto our new manager and all our great players are flying again!  The downs make the ups sweeter!

The Championship isn't so bad.  It surprises me just how much of a difference it makes without VAR.  Whatever else is wrong in your life, my sympathies, but don't get worked up about the football.

[Aus Fox]

Don’t let football get to you mate, especially as we are only a couple of wins from being clear of the relegation zone - it’s very early in the season and although it’s not started great the next 8 games are favourable and could see us pick up a few points.

And if it doesn’t and we do go down, we’ve done it before and come back stronger - back the lads through the good times and bad.

If you’re feeling alone reach out to the people around you, let them know how you’re feeling. 
If all else fails, look in the depression chat on General Chat some great people in there with advice and support.

Being part of the LCFC family means you’re never truely alone. 
My advice for what it’s worth - put the alcohol away whilst you’re feeling like this. Eat some comfort food, get a good nights sleep and in the morning find someone to go for a coffee or walk with. 
Keep the Faith

Life is a roller-coaster you just got to ride it. There will be ups and downs. There will be extreme euphoric ups and gut wrenching, stomach turning lows. You just have to roll with the punches. 

[ozleicester]

Take care mate... the punchline is worth the set up.

[grobyfox1990]

Take care William. I recognise your username from the European away games. Don’t worry, good times will be beck for you, keep going

We just get to float around on a rock for a few decades, but we get to choose what to make of it, what to do with our time.

 

Yesterday, one of the most accomplished men I ever met, whom I love, was diagnosed with a rare and incurable form of prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones. He will die within months.
 

You have many years ahead of you to fill your life with meaning, get up, get out, and do it. We aren’t born with any purpose, any point to our lives, at least in my opinion. But it brings me great comfort. Life is a blank piece of paper, you get to choose what has meaning to you.

Things that worked for me:

• Focus on little things that bring you love and/or joy.
• Don't compare your life to the one others want you to think they live - their projections are fabrications.
• Don’t follow the news.
• Avoid booze.
• Celebrate when you do something awesome, no matter how small an achievement.
• Make time to do things that relax you.
• Accept you are powerless to change what’s wrong in the world.
• Laugh more.
• Get outside and into the countryside.
• Buy less - use online shopping baskets to park purchases and return in a few days.
• Use block/ignore functions to eliminate toxic people online.
• Stop with social media - it’s a cesspit of nastiness and misery.
• Football is bullshit. Find the funny in it.
• Meditate. I use a relaxing chair and pop an album on the turntable, it’s my version.
• Read more books, they take your brain to another place.

PM me if you ever want someone just to listen, I’ll send you my number. I’ve no answers, no solutions, we all have to find out our own way through.

You’re never alone mate, it might feel that way sometimes but you’re definitely not.

You're never alone mate. 

 

Feel free to DM me if you need to talk. 

[Daggers]

I’d add, don’t beat yourself up for c0ck ups.
 

We all make mistakes in life, some (and I’m looking at myself here) have made massive ones. I had to teach myself that it’s ok to be imperfect, it’s ok to make mistakes - we always end up being our harshest judges…but then that feeds in to celebrating success and learning to love yourself for who you are and the qualities you bring to people’s lives.
 

And you do, there will be people who value you being part of the tapestry of their life.

 

Ultimately, talk to someone.

A little while ago, through major fcuk ups on my part, I found myself losing my partner of 7 years, almost all my friends, my house and eventually through the deterioration of my mental health, my job. 

I was 30 years old and was back at my mums place with nothing. Back at square one. 

 

7 years on, I have a wife, 2 step kids, a daughter, a job and a house. I even got one or two of those mates back. Life isn't perfect but it's pretty damn good. 

 

Don't focus on your life as it is, focus on what you want it to be. Make little steps to get it there and eventually, even though you might not get it picture perfect, it'll be closer than you are now. 

 

I'm always here for a wee PM, mate. Don't hesitate to reach out.

As others have said, don't let football get you down. As a West Ham fan said to me down the pub a couple of weeks ago, we've lived every fans dream. It was quite a revelatory moment for me, the realization that no matter what happens we have been incredibly blessed.

 

And seriously avoid the alcohol. It's amazing how much more cheerful I feel on a weekend if I haven't drunk on a Friday night. It's really that simple.

 

I was in a very bad place in my early 20s as things were going very wrong in my personal life. As you can see there are many posters - maybe the majority of them - who have had struggles too, but have got over them. You can too.

Great advice. Another thing id say is find a project and something new to work towards, especially if it involves meeting new people.

 

Take some evening classes, join a Meetup group of a hobby you have or would like to have, take an Open University course of something you always wanted to do, learn to paint or draw, learn to build something, learn to code, learn to cook or bake, learn a new language, whatever you’ve always kind of wanted to do but never got round to. It’s difficult to start, but once you get into it you find it really rewarding.

 

I think many people really regret the fact that when they leave school/university they stop learning, especially as classes and Meetup groups are great way to make new friends.

 

And one thing people never tell you as you grow older is you don’t just continue to make friends after school/university sadly. You have to make much more of an effort to make them as an adult

We’re all family in here William and we care about you. Feel free to express your feelings on here. We’re all here for each other, whether the football is shit or good.

I've long suffered with depression and at one point had severe depression, really severe but somehow I got through it. I spoke to a friend, spent a night at their place and just went day by day.

The way I look at things now is simple, tomorrow is another day and anything can happen,  life can go from shite to really shite to beautiful to really weird, there is always something new to learn, something to appreciate and sometimes it can be best to turn the news off, go for a walk and do something random every once in a while.

 

[spacemunky]

It can always be worse. I support Notts County!

[MrsJohnMurphy]

What a forum this is........I've always been pretty sound mentally but reading some of the replies on here is so reassuring, and makes me proud to be a City fan

The Championship is loads of fun to be fair, I've missed random midweek away days with about 800 turning up.

Just think if you supported Spurs!!?...

Whatever else is happening in your life, I hope things improve for you.
