Being a bit deep, I'm missing distractions. I'm not ashamed to admit I struggle with mental health issues and have all my adult life and the things that keep me distracted and keep me going in life are work, socialising with mates, going for a beer, going to the match etc, all simple pleasures that I've taken for granted and since I was furloughed a couple of weeks ago I feel like I've got nothing to keep me going. I'm doing okay at the minute but it's very hard to keep spirits up when you don't have a routine you can rely on to get you through.

You're not alone there mate. Working from home isn't that much better. Every day is the same. There's always chess.

have you thought about running?
 
My biggest problem right now is that I don't know when I'm going to be able to go on holidays. The way things are looking, it won't be until next year. Even when I get back to work, whenever that may be, I won't have enough annual leave worked up to take the time off that I had planned.

The excitement in the lead up to the holiday is fantastic & I'm missing that as well.

Tbf I could do with losing a few pounds, I walk miles with the dog everyday but running would probably be better for both my physical and mental health.

I was in a serious rut, I guess depression but it was because of something very upsetting to do with my brother so don't really know how you aren't meant to be sad, anyway, that was going on for like 2 years then the other day I downloaded the Nike Run Club app and put in a 15k goal and it worked everything out for me. I can't tell you what an incredible change it has made to everything. What with one thing and another I haven't been able to just go for a run for years so this has been great. The first run I just cried for the first half, then I was too out of breath, just because it felt great to be out and running again.

I really recommend it. You will feel great after a run, admittedly getting up to go for the run and the beginning shit bit of the run is tough but so so worth it.
 
Not missed footy or pubs. Miss just having a coffee in a cafe
