Hi @thespiceman I hear you pain. I used to enjoy watching morning TV catching up with the news but lately it does seem that all news is gloom and doom. Its one of the reasons why I liked watching the Last Leg on Fridays as they look at the subjects but in a funny and positive way. Its how I catch up with news. Also watch Gogglebox that I glad to say that is returning tonight yay. I am not a great lover of TV and most of my viewing is done on box sets. I was watching BBC four the other day on AI artificial intelligence the other day and really enjoyed that as technology is something that really interests me especially when it comes to using tech to enable disabled people to achieve more.
Over the years my mental health has been up and down too much even from a day by day process. The one constant for me has been music, I got myself an amazon echo that I totally love when she understands my speech LOL but even when she comes back with funny things I have asked its made me giggle and get frustrated at the same time. After losing the ability to work full time I have tried to keep my morning routine the same but find myself days I am not at work reaching for the pain relief too much and totally regret doing it afterwards as I just feel totally spaced out and unable to do anything.
Religion has been an important part of my life and often wonder if I have the strength to carry on. I also echo @susan48 feelings about facebook however I am that person who only ever posts when there is something positive to say, so from the outside it must look like my world is always perfect when it is far from that, they say positivity breads positivity but not sure that’s true all the time. I used to post everything but then it got too much dealing with everyone having their own opinion, so I came off facebook for a very long time and only go on about once a week now, same as I used to do on here for the same reason. It’s a real battle to get the balance on the one hand I didn’t/don’t like saying all the messages about the people losing ESA and PIP and having my own battles trying to prove my disabilities I felt like it would never end. Walking that knife edge of feeling that you have got to grips of what you can do, mentally or physically, one small thing changes to tear it all apart.
I offer one last thought is we are not alone and this gives me a reason to try and snap out of the down days.
