Gold. Contender for post of the year.Welcome to the journey towards improved mental health. You have correctly analysed that staying to the end of a belting will do nothing but exacerbate the pain. If your journey is anything like mine your next steps may include:
1. sitting by yourself as far away from any living soul at the ground.
Pros - your mood is not amplified by any friends or loved ones absolutely melting at what they’re watching.
Cons - you don’t find out whether your aunt enjoyed your second cousins fourth child’s baby shower.
2. Wearing headphones/ ear pods to block out crowd noise/ opposition jeering. Pro tip - listen to thrash metal instead of a call of the game.
Pros - good to feel by CANDY is a banger of an album
Cons - you may miss some witty heckling from drunk collingwood supporters as you walk out of the monarchs birthday game
3. Arriving late to games.
Pros - you don’t feel the hope of maybe today will be different.
Cons - you don’t feel the crushing despair of that hope evaporating within the first two minutes of the game. Also 15 missed calls from your aunt wondering where you are so she can tell you about your second cousins fourth child’s baby shower.
4. Changing your focus for the day from enjoying a game of football to getting as inebriated as possible as quickly as possible.
Pros - the selection of drinks in the mcc has improved. You can bring cans to your seat.
Cons - the drinks are $15 and with the tolerance you build up over the season you will be looking at $200+ and cannot physically drink the amount needed in the space of a game.
5. Not attending games.
Pros - not sure, haven’t tried this yet.
Cons - your aunt will call you during the week to tell you about your second cousins fourth child’s baby shower. this may ruin a perfectly good non-football day.
Edit - someone with time - feel free to add this to the simpsons frozen yoghurt meme template.
