Are you happy? Is your life going well?



I'd be satisfied with remembering what happy felt like.

In the last 4 years I've separated from my child's mother, my dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness and passed away, had to move away from Sunderland to be closer to the bairn and work which was followed by the pandemic. I haven't made friends with anyone here and friends back home/family never come to visit. Come to think of it it's 24 November and I'm still waiting for my first foot. Old friends have absolutely no desire to do anything more interesting than standing in an empty pub once every 3 months or so and there's been zero romantic interest since me and my ex split up.

On the plus side I have an ok job, my own home and an amazing son but if anything ever happened to him then I would choose to end my life.

I'm happy for everyone who is happy though :lol:

Things were going great then the pandemic happened. I didn't work for 9 months, spent every penny I had then had to take out a 17 grand loan to my pay my mortgage and bills. This was in addition to paying a family lawyer to negotiate the sale of my flat with my ex. My outgoings were eye watering. Since work picked back up and working from home has become the norm I've more than tripled my salary, paid off the loan and sold my flat for a tidy profit. I always land on my feet.

Similar position work wise but I can't pay the loan off for years yet 😂

I remember saying something similar to that to a psychotherapist.
Keep your chin up, marra.

Find a local pub near where you live now that does a quiz night and get yourself along. You'll start to meet people and have a bit chat in no time.
As for your mates who don't visit, that's a shame. Potentially a daft question, but have you invited any of them? That said if all they want to do is stand in an empty pub that might not be the best course of action!
 
I've had a really shite year. 2020 was hit and miss at best. Am not gonna suggest 2022 must be better as everything I touch has gone tits up in an epic firework display and rained piss all ower my parade

Apart from that, joyous

Cheers mate.

Funnily enough I popped in the local on Friday night but it was dead. There was literally about 10 people in there, all couples, mates would have loved it :lol: I said to them all when I moved (not that any of them offered to help) that they were welcome round any time and all of them have driven past the place without ringing to see if I was in.

Got a couple of roads in mind to try and improve things in the new year so will see how it goes

I am and mine is. Yeah there’s always room for improvement but I’ve got pretty much everything I want. Had a few crap things in my life in the last year but I’ve erased them. Accepted a new job with the home office this week that I wasn’t even looking for and more money so nice way to end the year.

Just was interested to see how people are feeling. Had a funny few years I suppose and it would be nice to hear if people are optimistic for the future. We tend to dwell a lot on what’s not going so well.
