Just got back from a walk/run with lovely Molly , I am very aware of my surroundings so noticed these 2 old people walking across the street and back again at separate doors and I thought maybe they lost a pet, waited till they were near by which point I realised it was probs Christmas letters how sweet I said sorry for starting at them and explained, they kinda smiled so that's half ok,
I was nearly home went down one of the paths we like and noticed some tall decoration like a Christmas deer ect on the floor so I pressed the door bell, knocked about 3 times and finally someone answer and I just said I noticed your decorations on the floor would you like me to pick them up, he said not really pretty much and said he cant open the door cause of his cat and he will do it later, I walked away with no thanks felt a bit like they were against me and noticed him walking outside to them when I was leaving no Christmas spirit there.
So now I am listening to Bachelor Boy on repeat by Cliff Richard which I discovered a few days ago after he sang in London which was on T.V. then all his songs through the years
Trying to cheer myself up try my best to be nice but soo often people get scared of me like when asking to help carry people's bags ect who do they think I am with little Molly with me robbers and crooks aren't like that urgh not much kindness going round in England these days especially given its soo close to Christmas.
Take care everyone try your best to help out stay positive hugs
Just listening to music while hopefully waiting for my friend to message
I thought maybe writing a list about my current stresses and eventually I will wipe them all out, might just do this in a word document but I wanted to ask if the idea is any good and thinking for me personally maybe here would work more to remind me about it and see others talk about it
Though half of me is worried about this idea cause last time I asked for support a lot of people did but it wasn't useful then I got threatened to leave the forum and new here sort of noticing I've not been very cheerful in my posts and I can see how maybe people would rather I shut up about these negative things and complaining so I just wanna ask what you all think about it first
Just smiling soo happy , ok so this may sound crazy, while waiting for my friend to show up today it could have taken a three hour wait soo I was always thinking where is he ect, eventually just tried to distract myself and actually between then and him arriving I finally developed some dancing skills sweet
Been practicing for most of the day now since being home, while waiting for other friends, so while listening to music I wanted to up the skill, actually found out I have a hidden talent seems silly but its gold - on walks I multi task throw a tennis ball while walking Molly pretty much nailed it each time like serious I might practice for my own world record
so I was like lets combine and I couldn't catch on the left hand much so swapped my holding hand for the laptop which isn't my natural holding/balancing hand for it but my best catching hand is my right, got the music on, Written In The Stars played and I finally got the speed of the dance moves and throwing the ball enough so its like a couple catches and throws while going back I was already struggling with thinking about the moves before sometimes had to re focus the the tripe multi tasks and I got it just cheered me up I could never catch the ball in cricket ect ect for all my sporty school years and since finding a hidden talent that works just soo sweet to see how far I can push it
So backwards weave steps at speed while balancing my laptop (with my headphones in) on my left arm and throwing and catching the ball with gloves on my hands all at the same time which = less grip but such a happy buzz even if it sounds silly and now the music is sweet and up beat this is what I needed in a way since my friend today is going abroad till into the New Year and my other friend is soo focused on work its like I've lost him so any bonus is sweet
woah just nailed it 3 times again quick succession hahaha soo happy with my progress in this small skill small skill but has a big positive impact on me
Take care everyone find your own small skill big impact hugs

Nobody is expected to be positive all the time... If you want to talk out some things that stress you out, then go ahead.
You can also start a thread called "Declan's Thoughts" or "Declan's Ramblings" if you like to ramble.. then you can put all your thoughts in one place and get things off your chest. I guess kind of like a diary, but I know guys may not like the idea of calling something a diary lol but it can be helpful.
wow thank you for your kindness, like I mentioned in a message/private thingy I was thinking of like stepping back a bit cause I talk too much but just soo happy with the skills ect wanted to share.
Thank you for understanding, I think when I am allowed to open up its nice to just know people care but I always worry that I shouldn't be saying my worries ect anyway and then my last experience in a different forum the person in charge forced me out even thought it was a big low point and really felt like I had a team there you know and other people could talk about their worries ect helping others but had to go
I've got used to people say they care and then I overload them with my worries ect and they give up on me which is why I have learnt to shut down more and keep to myself but maybe here is a fresh start just wanted to explain my feelings about being a bother really ramblings is my style ha , I think I dont have anyone to talk to face to face and so when my friends visit or online I sort of over do it just wanting to talk ect ect , like with the friend I was with today, we dont talk much and its hard to catch up , been back from Holiday last month ect and finally we started hanging out few times now and go to the park and I just talked to him about an episode of Casualty I saw that day for the whole time we were there till it got dark but it was just good I can see it, when he is there I cant stop talking and I even said today he has turned into me not talking much and I over talk now ha but I walked home with him far enough away we had a good laugh and talk and it was just soo nice to catch up and now I notice I've talked to much again haha , I should just record my own voice and listen to myself haha
A place for guests to discuss health (physical and mental) and share fitness routines and diets
Just to share one of my experiences regarding mental health.
Once I heard some people talk about something called breath meditation for reducing stress. Oneday I also tried out. I didn't know the proper procedure of doing that, but I just sat down alone and started to focus on the breath.
Within ten seconds I could realize that it was a great remedy. Just focusing on in and out breath thoughtlessly. I gave up whole world, literally everything for some minutes, and just watched the flow of the in breath and our breath. After a while the breath started to flow more and more smoothly. Oh I will never forget it.
After the session I have completely forgot that I have been suffering from stress. I wanted someone else to taught me what the thing called stress is, and how it looks like.
I think breath is an important part of stress relief. I often breathe out, audibly, and forcibly, then push away with one hand to relieve stress. It works particularly well while driving.
I experienced that one session of 15 minutes continuous breath meditation can change the whole day. Sometimes many days. It expands mental capacity for doing other daily works as well.

I also practice breathing techniques, such as the one where you breathe in slowly, hold, and then exhale slowly, hold.. repeat. It's very calming and reduces the heart rate.

Nice to hear that.
Yes, two kinds of breathing techniques are popular in these days. One is for mostly physical health where controlled breathing is required. The other one is directly for mental development where uncontrolled breathing is focused by concentrated mind.
Has anyone tried the carnivore diet? I doing a very lite-version as I still enjoy veggies and fruits (and seasoning).
I've notice a lot of carnivore dieters don't season their food. It's wonky to me.
Unusually I had no spice with my liver on Tuesday but generally I uses lots of herbs and spices. My salt intake must be through the roof at times although, except with fish and chips from the chip shop where they put it on, I seldom use the salt shaker. It's all in cooking. I tend to use fish sauce in almost all cooked dishes and it is very salty.

I've been alive for... 50+ years and I still don't understand "fish and chips" hahaha I know what it is but I've never had it.
Liver?! Mmmm Salt, pepper, white onion (sliced and cooked)... mmmm

Salt is compulsory on all fish, chips, avocadoes, and eggs. Pepper is compulsory on tomatoes, avocadoes, white cabbage, and strawberries. Garlic is compulsory on avocadoes.

One of my biggest challenges in life has been a bone and joint condition where I suffer frequent fractures and/ or dislocations and I have spent a lot of time in casts
It started in early adulthood, around my senior year of HS and had been getting progressively worse.
It affects my relationships, working and being able to do day-to-day things at times
Does anyone else have a similar experience or advice?

Hi, welcome to the forum. You do have a pretty smile.
Just remember that your illness does not define you. Especially on the internet.
I am unfamiliar with your condition, as I expect many here are. Sorry.
