Thanks mate. I think I could write once upon a time, not now. But we'll see.

Have you considered a change in direction career wise? Something that appeals to you?......and don't give me that age bollocks, you're only 40 which is nothing these days

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

What career?

I don't do anything really.

 

[sycophantia]

I don't do anything really.

Well ok, look for something that might appeal...its never too late to change ot to be ambitious, wish I'd have looked to change my path when I was 40 rather than just follow the money (not that that was anything to write home about)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm no good at anything, really. I couldn't tell you a single strength I have.

 

[BillyDee]

You could be a Tory MP then..?

 

[BillyDee]

I really could do with a change of career, at 43, but really have no idea where to start...

You're obviously intelligent, you care about stuff, that's all you need really, everything else can be taught/picked up. I'm not saying it's easy, I've suffered from lack of self belief and self worth all my life, but there's no doubt in my mind if you can get past your problems, there is a worthwhile job out there with your name on it.

Humility, obviously.

I say write if you enjoy it and it makes you happy. If people like it is irrelevant. And in any case, the public reaction will tell you if you are any good or not, despite your reservations.

I'd say from your past works the opinion is pretty favourable.

I'm a similar age and have had similar thoughts. Doubt I could earn anywhere near enough money to keep my family doing something else though so I guess I'm stuck.

I have taken the decision, mostly successfully, to give less of a fuck and try not to be defined by what I do. Its really not that important.

Put that photographic memory to work and become a football historian!

Seriously, Dan, some of the stats and scenes you pull out of your brain on a moment's notice, combined with your ability to create an image with words (layering on some sharp wit, to boot); I think you would be excellent at that sort of thing.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Man, yesterday was hard.

I'm not very good at this.

 

[The Bear]

Keep going and fighting it Dan. You know this isn't you but the horrible shit that is your depression.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I want to write again, I just can't. I'm doing the best I can though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Man, this is shit. Worst attack of it for ages. I don't know what I'm going to do.

If posting on here is cathartic to you then please do so as regularly as you can. A Thursday Quiz, chewing the fat on the merits of not bowling Moeen Ali last night or why Boris Johnson has to go on national tv to deny that the UK is a corrupt and I'm sure you'll get responses.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nothing really helps mate, that's the worst of it. I'm really poorly and there's no fucking cure. I hate letting my missus and family down, I hate not being able to do anything, I hate what a mess I've made of what should have been a decent life, and there's no escape from it. Apart from the obvious one.

 

[Alan]

My psychiatrist has just started me switching to different meds and my body is hating it. My current pill has a lousy reputation for being a bitch to get off of but this is some proper withdrawal shit. Nausea, cold sweating, shivers, the whole nine yards. Gonna be a fun, fun weekend.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I know it's probably just me having a bad day. But I'm fucked really, aren't I?
