General / Mental Health Support Thread

I am attending the cleaner and dryer group each week. In Eccles and Failsworth. I have never had a problem with drink or drugs but my mental health is impacted by women issues, work stress and my dads illness. Excercise and friendship is vital in life. If anyone wants to come on a Friday and do some boxing fitness and a group chat please let me know.

Exercise really does help doesn't it - which is so frustrating when you're low as it feels impossible sometimes.

Give me a shout if you want to offload about the women's stuff, I've had my fair share of that too.
 
Fuck the long Covid thread off...it just attracts the flat Earther types. I'll whinge about it here :)
2 and a half years now. This morning I literally dragged myself out of bed around 9am, went downstairs for a cuppa and then crashed on the couch feeling worse than ever until around 3pm. I had the Long COVID clinic yesterday....They want me to accept it and learn to live with it! I have to keep a diary of what i do and how i feel.
I feel shit Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thur....
One thing that worries me about all that...do I have to write down every time i have a wank? I didn't ask them about that.

I really feel for you lovely , not the wanking bit , lol

When i got ME and fibro i tried to out run it and fight it every which way and made it worse , in the end you do have to accept it and get the rest/ activity balance right , when you understand your body a bit better you will be able to do more

There is no cutting corners i am afraid x

10,000 steps a day minimum here. I’m not too bothered about the slight tummy but I feel mentally strong.

What's your strategy for getting the steps in?

I have a very sedentary job and know I need to get moving more.

Cycling since the start of lockdown when I retired has been brilliant for my mental health... Two hours a few times a week when I'm not looking at my phone, getting fitter and out in nature...

I've just joined my local golf club too and it's hilly so thats also great for keeping the timber off

During the first lockdown, a mate and I went cycling down the canals around Manchester. Down the Bridgwater to Altrincham and then across to the airport and Styal.
I also caught the train up to Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire and rode back down the canal to Manchester. Never thought i could do it at 55 but...i can't now! The bike's locked away in the shed, doing nothing now.

I was fortunate to retire at 52..I’m never going to beat biology but I feel fitter than ever-

I was ill a few weeks ago and my mental health suffered because I couldn’t exercise-it’s a huge part of my life now; walking, biking, weights and the biggest addiction my concept 2 rower-best thing I’ve ever bought.

I actually did 75 hard last year and found it incredibly life affirming. If people have the time I recommend it, it’s a life changing journey.
