Thanks bro same to you of course, yeah honestly life sucks pretty bad and I say daily I’m gonna off myself but still here for some reason hahaha. How’s your health doing? Trining going well? Enjoy the bath.

[Henda]

I really hope things get better for you soon, I know the feeling mate honest if it wasn’t for having kids who depend on me I doubt I’d have been here so long, I just hang onto the hope that something whatever it may be comes along that makes life enjoyable again maybe it’s delusion haha health is great they switched me to the slow release metformin for the diabetes and they loads better no bad guts on them and zero symptoms of diabetes
Training going good despite everything else ha a few months back I decided to stop reading/watching anything training related and go back to training how I enjoyed and what used to work rather than following the latest science based shit I’d seen on Instagram and actually look better for it, I was seriously considering packing in training before I made the switch back as just wasn’t enjoying it anymore it had became a chore
How a bout you mate is your training going well?

Yeah I hear you about the kids but I guess I’m selfish when I think they would be better off with out me, I just find no joy in anything and I’m afraid I never will again. Glad to hear about the diabetes meds being better and health in general. training I have a few good weeks then a shitty few weeks. Training legs hard trying to get them to look like yours.

You not selfish mate can’t help feeling that way I’d probably be exactly the same if mine didn’t have such a useless mother my son doesent see her he lives solely with me and I’m all he’s really got, I know what you mean about the now joy that describes how I feel it’s like happiness has “peaked” long ago and will only just get worse I was briefly happy when I got back with the lass who saved my life back when had the heart attack when we were first together 3 years ago but found the same things persist like having to think of bad/painfull memories to be able to fall asleep at night I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have to do that to fall asleep haha
Legs I found for me is form and range of motion over weight mate I’ve never squatted more than 3 plates a side and that was at peak but prioritise depth and pausing in the stretch I know you are insanely strong mate but might be with cutting the weight a bit I’d happily swap my legs for your arms and overall size

Sorry to hear this Henda

Hope things change for the better soon
 
2026 is your year Henda!

[FitnessFrenzy]

Henda, sorry to hear this bro.

Just a fresh perspective: Maybe sell you business and go do the same job as employed? Maybe it would be less stress and less hours?

It sounds like you are pushing yourself too hard mate. I wish you well.

I’ve been giving it serious thought mate as one of my good mates keeps asking me to join him on site, my son makes his own money and supports himself now only my daughter is financially dependent on me I have no mortgage and a small income from a little flat I own and rent out so could realistically work only part time and still be comfortable enough as have very little outgoings, it’s something I giving serious thought too but will find it hard to give it up after been self employed most my adult life
Thank you for the input my friend it is something I will consider seriously

You could also keep the business, but hire someone to do your job. If you only earn 10 - 20% on top of his salary, you still have full control and you are your own boss. Then the extra hours could be put into renovating another flat that you could rent out. I am in a different job situation than you, but I am also very much focused on different streams of income.

Aye that’s also a good option mate, my son does want to come work with me when he finishes his apprenticeship this summer so maybe train him to the point of doing the day to day work and reduce my hours then
What income streams if you don’t mind me asking? I’m not being nosey but looking for ideas, flat has been a bit up and down it’s in a block so is leasehold and in that situation every owner has to chip in for repairs and running of the building and I bought it at a time of these all coming up so have only made half per year of what was expecting due to the service fees being so high be lucky if I get £2400 a year off it after everything paid but still better than the money sitting in bank doing nothing earning a fee hundred quid a year interest if that
I don’t want to be rich just time free enough money coming in off doing nowt to cover bills and not have to work or at least just pick and choose jobs, is that your reason for doing it too mate?

[FitnessFrenzy]

What income streams if you don’t mind me asking?

- stock index funds
- crowd lending (more risky - be careful here)
- bonds (bond funds)
- high yield savings account (only for emergency fund)

Yeah, I want to have the freedom to work perhaps a bit less hours, and then you more or less need income from other sources. A lot of people are very fond of dividend paying stocks, but they often underperform the broader market over 10 or 20 years, so if you can afford larger swings up and down, then I would recommend a broader stock market index fund such as MSCI World. Look for the ETF called EUNL or similar. There might be different ones for you, because you are not in the EU anymore, but you have access to MSCI World ETF funds for sure :-)

Henda, I did some more research. You can buy this fund on the London Stock Exchange. But don't buy it before doing your own research and understand your risk profile and investment time horizon. You can also buy a little bit each month - some people also invest that way. Here is the fund:

Just wanna pop in here and say I have joined Rob and Henda in the not too concerned if life ends soon. Im not gonna go drive off a cliff (just yet), but theres just no joy and no reason to go on. Im plenty old enough and lived an interesting life. Im not depressed per day, just tired of the world, tired of people, tired of it all. Ive really taken hold of doing what i want and telling people what i think of them if they act retarded. ZERO fucks left to give and Ive been having a glorious old time calling people girls and going postal on them. Im bipolarbut this isnt bipolar situation, this is just 100% fed up with people and the world. Plus I cant afford to live anymore anyways, shit is too expensive

Welcome back Henda.....things will get better my friend.

[wes]

I was so depressed last week at Chemo that they made me stay for a mental assessment.......only reason I stayed was because I like and respect my doctor.

Hi mate it’s sad that you feel like that I did kinda know you would feel the same and understand the feeling, like you said I have no intention of offing myself but also wouldn’t be to fussed if some random accident wiped me out, last time I was truly happy was when the kids were little, now every thing that try to be happy feels like a betrayal to those times if that makes any sense, I can’t remember a time when didn’t have to think bad thoughts, replay bad memories to fall asleep at night and just think surely there more to life than this shitshow it’s become. I hope you do manage to find happiness mate I for one would be sad if you were no longer here

[Henda]

Welcome back Henda.....things will get better my friend.

Thanks mate I’ll you brother, I have no real right moaning about my life with what you are going through mate how’s things going my friend ?

Think they're is a few of us in a similar situation - I'm fed up with my life in general & don't see much of a
Bright future ahead. I have some good days for sure just in general I'm finding life dull & monotonous
Very little positiveness or excitement, some of this I'm sure is in part due to my state of mind.
I'm finding it difficult to be motivated & do the things I need to , its like I can't be bothered, why I'm like this
I haven't worked out yet.
No I don't particularly want to die only If I was to drop dead that'd be okay, I've lived a colourful life a bit too
Colourful at times & maybe thats a contributing factor to how I'm feeling now.
I just feel/ think there's more to life than just kind of existing & I'm just existing for the sake of it at this time
& probably for the last few years.
I have a few ideas / plans that I hope will change who I feel & my life.

Good luck to all who are suffering & hopefully life will become more positive & better for you all.

Thank you Henda

I hold out hope that a change In my circumstances & warmer
brighter weather will be a big step in the right direction.

[illuminati]

whilst i won´t kick a man when he´s down, it´s now obvious why you act like a tool on here
Go get some meds or go for a walk

Whatever is wrong with me pales in comparison to you.

I'm not the one acting like a scared chicken because they can't back up
what they claimed to know
Or Running Crying to Ron
or Wanting to Snitch on others
or hates black people & goes paying for black prostitutes

I'm facing my issues Not Running away like you.

Say whatever you want it'll have Zero impact coming from a useless
Shithead loser like you.
