What to do

No worries dude. Were all into different things. Making the play list does work though and ive found it helps me alot when i get incredibly low moods (Spotify is a good free option if you haven’t got a big music library)

That’s called getting older lol :joy::joy: We must be on the same boat. I packed up my PS and went retro with a NES and duck hunt :duck: My 5year old couldn’t understand why the laser wasn’t wireless.

If i could go back to my snes days or N64 i would be happy and kept busy for weeks lol. Might have to break out the gamecube and play through some zelda lol

I really am showing my age now, I read your post and had not a clue what you were talking about. I am assuming computer games /consoles but its all double dutch to me. Lol

Super Mario Kart for the SNES. The best. I was always Princess Peach. The hair you see.

Seems everyone i used to know is meeting people, having good times and generally being cared about.
I dont feel i really have those possibilities lately. Few people message me back or seem to want to talk.
There just seems to be so little worth doing these days.

Also i mentioned seeking legal advice to the guy who owes me money hoping it would give him a kick to pay me back and he said he would (that was 2 months ago and nothing). Feel stupid for believing him

Not really, i dont have many people left that i am that close to and i wouldnt have much to talk about as i havent really done anything.

Its possible but i generally seem to feel low at the start of most days. If i have something to look forward to then its ok but sometimes i wont feel “up to it” and can sometimes turn things down (like my friend offering to take me to a large toy store).

Theres meeting friends at their houses etc but im wanting to keep everyone safe regarding the pandemic etc.
Plus i still wouldnt have much to talk about.

Im sorry to hear you are struggling so much too @Kitty-Cat01. I wish i could help in some way

I visit my mom two or three days a week depending on my shifts, sometimes it will be two days running. She’s been nowhere and neither have i, but we can always find something to talk about. She loves football and often discusses how The Wolves are doing, despite knowing i have no interest in sport whatsoever. But it’s
good to see her happily chatting about something she’s passionate about. Similarly my wife has spent about 75% of the last year shielding/furloughed whilst i have worked throughout. She’s been nowhere and done nothing other than some diy and housework but we can always find something to talk about.
So see those friends, make the effort, with a bit of imagination you can find loads to chat about. You can still see them and take social distancing measures. Also, try to be positive in their presence, as positivity breeds positivity.

All I have to say to that is…

Im terrible with conversation even before lockdown, the friend who offered the toy shop trip talks enough for three people and i just listen (easier to do when i have a pint in hand lol). I just feel like i bore people and having nothing to talk about makes me more boring

I know how you feel, it’s awful not getting motivated to do anything and that brain fog is awful too.

Have you looked at your diet? Things we eat and drink can often effect our mood, especially all the rubbish you find in processed foods.

I found eating more clean and cutting back on fizzy drinks and more water helped somewhat. I still struggle with motivation though.

I understand the diet part but mine isnt too bad. Barely touched a fizzy drink for a few years, even cut down on chocolate etc.

I hope you are coping ok @FireCracker89

Just because you think you bore people, doesn’t mean you do! Don’t be hard on yourself! You’re chatty friend is making conversation, just enjoy it and join in!
