Always good to vent.
Worst thing you can do is bottle it up.
And this is the perfect place to do it.
Mate. Thats the entire reason I made this thread.Sometimes I feel stupid posting it on here tbh. Just a random posting on a sports forum...it’s a bit..dunno, strange. I just had to let it out though and I don’t want my wife or friends worry I’m about to go off the rails again.

Just reminded me of the night in Werribee our VFL team played and Chris Jansens mum came up to me and asked if I wrote stuff on BF. The obvious give away was my best little mate, and with CJ being his favourite player, I was lucky to have never said a bad word about himPerfect place to post Val. Anonymity makes it easier and we all understand
Rant away mate.

Good to hear your doing so well.Why didn't you state that before I started posting pics of myself?
But I do concur either way it's all ok. I say load up on this thread and make it work for you ! Cause that's the point of it.
So today was the first anniversary of my brain explosion, they say the first 12 months are the riskiest period. So was kind of looking forward to this milestone.
Well beats not arriving at it of course lol.
So I met up with the lovely ladies from the Pisces Foundation for my last round of tests. I broke the record on the rowing machine. Go me !! I want a plaque dedicated to me don't go overboard with it, out the front will be fine I told them. They said, " Matt everyone else is in their 80's".
So that put me through my paces starting with a 60 minute MRI and of course you're not allowed to move while having an MRI. They've figured me out as it was my fourth one , I get strapped to the table.. They asked if I'd like to watch tele and I said yeah hit me up with Brooklyn 99. Who's idea was that? Seriously that's a funny show and I'm trying to not laugh, the pr0n scene where the guy says sh*t you cant look at that on a work computer and then offers to close the windows for the dude. It took him like a minute to do so.
Then onto the memory tests for the next three hours. I did good when one considers in Feb they said name as many words starting with " F" as you can and my poor mind couldn't get past "fu**" so I didn't have any
A new man they said , so yeah I'm actually pretty pumped atm. Get a family member to tell you 8 or so words and see how many you can remember.
Then have them do sh*t like giving you 6 or 7 numbers and have you repeat them in ascending order. This was yesterday and i was knackered.
Anywho I'm in pretty good space currently, one of my escapes was footy and us being so sh*t at that wasn't ideal. Nearly as bad as me using footy for escapism. Still do though.
So have met a lovely Irish lass and we're going ok , her being 11 years my junior is I won't lie great for my bruised ego.
Again thanks peeps for this judgement free thread, we can say whatever we want without fear and that's a wonderful thing.
Peace out
When I first met you, pretty sure you heard me say "any hole's a goal".Why didn't you state that before I started posting pics of myself?

As I get older I try to be more impulsive. I think you become more aware of the passing of time and how little you may have left and how important it is to jump at any opportunity. I would say continue to be that way. Good to hear you are doing well!So I got my results back from the very last round of tests I undertook. I am now finished with the research and the specialists. Kind of nice to finish on a positive in 2020 Am glad they only found the one weakness as I could name plenty. And fancy suggesting I'm impulsive And the list of recommendations goes on for another page
Oh and this time of year isn't great for everyone and somewhere someone you know will be hurting a bit. Check in yeah?
He's a bit of the report, kind of strange having someone do this type of thing about you.

I remember being 31. Was living with my dad, and feeling entirely bummed out. Had no job, no qualifications relevant to civilian society, I was supposed to be married with a career, 2 kids and 1/2 a dog or whatever the stat was. Chin up mate, something good will come along tomorrow, or the next tomorrow, or maybe the next. I bet you a dollar. I have found that the best thing about life, or 1 of them, is that something always comes along. It may not feel like it right now, but as true as I sit here right now, something will come along. It may be down a different path, perhaps a wildly different path, but something will come along. Take a breath and don't panic. I like a band called The Levellers. They have a song called "Far away is close at hand" or something, I like the sentiment of it. It's been a sh1tty year mate, 3 more sleeps and we're all back on a nice fresh deck and looking forward again.Life's been pretty tough recently.
Trying to figure out my life and where to go form here.
Just entered my early 30's and don't really have any qualifications, experience in some things but nothing secure.
Future's looking a little bleak and directionless; feeling pretty depressed out it all really.
So overwhelmed that I almost feel suffocated.
Thanks for the wise words man.I remember being 31. Was living with my dad, and feeling entirely bummed out.

30 is really young, don’t be afraid of jumping in to something new. I have several friends that picked up trades or changed careers after 30 and have done very well. If you can find something you do like follow that and the rewards will come.Life's been pretty tough recently.

It's just really hard to see it right now.

Great posts guys. Very wise words indeed.Chin up Shin. The opportunity will come, you just can't see it. Maybe think a little outside the box. I know it's hard but until it hits you in the face.........fed. govt. will be spending $$$ to open up the economy coming year and remember even menial work is work. Open up to family and friends. Good G.P. can be a saviour.
