I have lived with depression and anxiety for over twenty lears now.
The one lesson that I can tell everyone is that you CAN beat it.
I can't lie - it is not easy, in fact it is probably one of the hardest things to do because it requires a profound shift in thinking and self-awareness, and it is really really hard work.
However, eventually you can get to a point where you recognise that "the problem" (as I refer to it - Time Bandits style) is creeping up again, and you get early enough warning to stamp on it and get it sorted before it takes a real hold.
Keep your chins up everyone. It's Bastard hard work, but it can be beaten!
Yes you need to find a way of spotting the black dog and sending it away!
Hi all. Well, it's been a pretty horrible holiday period for me. As I thought would happen, my girlfriend split up with me. I'm back to work today, I'm actually surprised I made it out of bed at all.
I hope everyone had a better time off - if any - then I did.
Good luck for this year.
Sorry to hear that has happened but at least you know where you stand.
The positives are that even though its not the outcome you wanted you are up and about and functioning. Make it through the day and find some little things to look forward to for the weekend.
DO NOT GIVE UP, YOU WILL BE FINE!
One major upside of being single is being able to plan lots of cool riding through the year without having to consider anyone else. Selfish I know but also fun. Holiday tour of UK riding cool places and Trail Parks? How about an Alps trip? Get out riding weekends with mates or a local club?
Strip your bike down in the living room wilst drinking beer in your pants 😮
Lots of stuff to plan and do now for when the weather breaks and lots of riding now will and you'll be fit when it does....
Go easy on yourself and take care,
