Man, I cut the roof of my mouth on Monday whilst enjoying my homemade hard shell tacos and it's still annoying me. Those fuckin' things turn into miniature swords as you chew them up and this one GOT me good. 2020, eh?
I popped something in my left hip, on the back side just under the kidney. That was Saturday afternoon. Still hurts. Have resorted to using my cane to get around the house.
The dumb thing, I was working outside most of the day, so muscles loosened up, slight work out, etc. I had jumped in the shower to clean off and then was getting dressed for friends to come over. Standing i lifted my left knee up towards my chest to slip on sock and POP. Been fucked since.

Mental wellness is a huge issue nowadays and will be forever.
You can't suppress it and you need to swallow your pride and talk to someone at some point.
There is no shame in seeking help.
Me I'm OK, better than some worse than others.
My main stresses are home life, work life is 10x better than anybody else's I know that for a fact.
We good here, not much to discuss, I know what I need to do it's just a matter of doing it.
Thank you though OP. And to others - PLEASE SEEK HELP OR TALK TO SOMEONE. You are not alone!

Earlier in the week was the first time in my life that I thought about calling my boss, and saying I quit. It was just that bad of a day. Work stress is at an all time high, throw in buying and selling a house. I'm surprised I'm doing as well as I am.
My home life is good though, which is about the only saving grace. Wife has taken on more responsibilities with the home sale/purchase, with my work schedule being so crazy.
And agree with
DEEZUZ don't be afraid of asking for or trying to find help. Get over that stigma. I'm not advocating going to a doctor and getting pilled up, but just TALKING to someone is a huge help.

My friend texted me yesterday (well, we text pretty much daily, but...), asking me where time has gone. It was 30 years ago that he and I were new DeVry students, we were partying that first semester and Stevie Ray Vaughn passed away in a helicopter accident up at Alpine valley. Where did this time go...
Anyway, as we've been going back and forth, I said that the last few years have been tough. Losing my Grandmother then going through that house and all the memories, pictures, papers, etc... Then as I close in on 50, my not being able to do things like I once was as a youth. My bad knees, now I think I've tore something in my right shoulder, I've torn a bicep, torn a ligament off my foot, shit, I put a nail in my leg two weeks ago... So there is a lot of mileage on the old body too.
So it's coming to that realization that it's soon gonna be all downhill from here and it ain't gettin' any better.

Work sucks, average probably at least 60 hours a week and everyday is a shit show of trying to uncover revenue that can be recognized in the quarter, but I don't let it get to me. With 4 kids, I'm never not busy...so there just isn't a lot of time to even reflect on things, which I can't say bothers me.
My escape is 9 holes of golf 4 nights a week between 10pm and midnight, and watching my kids sports.

I wish I was a little bit taller..

Life is good. I can honestly say that. Some days are more stressful than others, but that's just adulting. Can't wait to see what the next 5 years bring when my boss retires and what that will mean for myself.
I’m doing fine. Stress is a rare occurrence for me. I don’t know why but I never stress about shit. Is what it is.
Bummed about my car and the headache that’s coming along with it but otherwise fine. A bit annoyed by some house projects going on that I have little control over but one is finishing up today and the other is happening next week.

The nonstop political and racial crap being pushed onto people today isn't helping much either with mental health. That stuff can really get to you over time. There is quite a bit of evil in this world, and much of it starts directly with the constant bombarding bullshit from the news. A lot of stress can be eliminated by simply not watching it or not being glued to your cellphone 24/7 like most people are, and being worn down mentally over time.
Take some "me" time everyday where you just sit an enjoy a beer or a cigar. Or exercise, i do a lot of biking, running, swimming, etc. Exercise really is a fantastic stress reliever.

This. this all day. I stopped Facebook. I stopped reading/watching the news (I figure if something REALLY important happens, someone will tell me), I cut the toxic people out of my life (even family members), and honestly my quality of life improved dramatically. I wish I exercised more and was more healthy, and I just need to buckle down and start doing it.
Pretty much the same as most of you.... Work can be stressful at time, but I also love it at times, so I look at it that they cancel one another out.
Been thinking about making an appointment to see someone to talk to just to get all the other shit off my chest relating to family bullshit... Just feel like there is never any time to do so.

i thought that's what Friday nights were for?
or would it be better if your brothers were not there
This. I feel like I am running out of places to hide from this crap. ESPN used to be my safe place from politics but we all know how that is going. I find myself watching a lot of food network instead of sports as my "get away" now.

Now youre getting it.
get off cable tv. find some youtubers that you enjoy that do things with your hobbies. So much better just watching those then cable tv and it is always stuff you enjoy.
Kind of an oxymoron hearing your older brother yelling get wrecked nerd as were playing fall guys.

With the exception of COVID, I can't really complain about much. I miss being able to go out and do anything without having to wear a mask and be paranoid. It's gotten less stressful now that my older son is back in school and not doing e-learning. We also have a nanny to help with my youngest son during the day.
I wish people in general would just get along and stop dividing our country. Yes, there are still some inequities that can be addressed. It's sad that people are getting killed or killing for bullshit reasons. Why we can't all just smile and wave to each other without violence is beyond me. Also, the election can't end quickly enough. I've never seen our country so polarized in my lifetime.

Rum is always there for me in rough times lol. I just put things in perspective and realize I’m living the greatest time of my life. I have a healthy, smart 5 yo, making more money than I ever have, have a cool car and house, and my health. Both my parents are still alive also. Hit me up in 10 years when all I have is rum left lmao.
