Things to do in Life...

[Munkfish]

Iv Hit pretty much a low point, in my Life.

Im in a Job with no real direction.

In a relationship, which i dont know where to stand.

and completley low on confidence.

It doesnt help my mates are now all starting to lead there own lives and what once was a very close group is slowley growing apart.

Iv started to feel lost and very alone, iv decided to try and drag myself out of the rut iv found myself in after many happy years living in my own little bubble.

Im thinking of maybe doing some charity work or some football coaching to get me out the house of an evening, has anyone done anything similar? and can suggest things to do, it would be a great help.

Learn to play a musical instrument, or a foreign language and then visit the country of the langauge you learnt - gives you longer goals to work towards

I remember feeling a lot like that once, and I borrowed a book that taught you to juggle.

Top fun, sense of achievement, cheap as chips and it's like riding a bike, so it's a skill for life.

Either that or a nice quiet night in, pot noodle and a wank.

Save up, go travelling.

I don't know one person who hasn't had the time of their life doing so.

Plastic surgery?

pot noodle and a wank.

You should build that into your juggling routine.

To the OP, and I mean this in an entirely non-condescending way, watch Children in Need tonight and think yourself lucky that you have your health. Everything else is a bonus.

If you don't have any long-term commitments the world is your oyster Rodney. Do something that helps other people and maybe karma will put a smile on your face. Good luck man.

Could do a football coaching or referee course, they run all the time and Sussex have a new batch starting in the new year, earn a bit of money (£25-£35 a game), meet new people, get involved with the RA society events. Ref course is usually 8 weeks, 2 hours a week and £100 to do it and all nessacary checks. Not sure about coaching.

I agree with Scooter, if this is something you are interested in doing it will give you a bit more purpose in life.

Why not have a chat with the other 16m people in this country who have similar symptoms to you?

Sorry to hear thank Monkfish

I'd try and find out where you stand in the relationship first and foremost. Something like that, if it's serious, is going to effect every other aspect of your life. Find out where you stand and make a decision.

Start small and build up to things, if you're serious about volunteering try Do-it - Volunteering made easy it's got loads of info and might get the juices going.

You’re right you know.
You can find plenty of worthwhile things to do with your time.
Learn a new language, go travelling, do some charity work, take up a martial art, start a DIY project, teach yourself a musical instrument etc.
Sometimes though all you really need is a Pot Noodle and a wank.

Second this -in much the same place myself. Currently learning Turkish using CDs which i've put onto my i-pod and books. The benefits were not immediate though but they will come, i promise you. If money is an issue then use the next few months to save up and do volunteering in the meantime. Christmas is a good time for that. I'd contact the Big Issue who can help you find some good volunteering work to help the homeless around this time or try this site....

If you want to do coaching, this thread might be perfect for you: Any F.A. Level 1 Coaches Out there? - North Stand Chat

If you want to do volunteer work, try here: Who we are - About VSO - VSO UK

If you want to travel, try teaching English. You can pretty much pick your country. Or if you want to go to an English speaking country you could get a working holiday visa for Australia or New Zealand.

Are Pot Noodles and wanks a "hindrance" then?

Hello Munkfish

Sad to hear of your current situation but I think its really quite positive that you recognise it and want to do something about it.

I'm sure that there are plenty of instances of people turning there life around but if you are looking for inspiration try this link:-

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/2010/11/love-me-love-my-face-living-my-life-the-way-i-want

The programme was on BBC3 last night and its being shown again at various anti-social times - might be available on i-player. The article is good but the programme really does inform you as to what an individual can achieve.

I dont think that I could have done what Jono did but if any of us can get even someway there we may be happier.

Good luck with your efforts - you seem to have the right intentions.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/.../bbcthree/2010/11/love-me-love-my-face-living-my-life- the-way-i-want.shtml

if not try copy and paste.

As you can tell I am not that good in the field of computers!

Thanks for all the suggestions, Pot Noodle and a wank was just a short term fix.

I took up a new hobby Golf but not the easiest to play with these short winter days.

ideally id like to volunteer where theres plenty of fit birds, maybe a page 3 support group.

in all serious though, id love to help out and will look into it.

i will ask though my current employer if theres anything i can do through work.

keep the suggestions comming!

Go travelling. Definitely. Or if you cant afford to save up and do that then just get yourself a flight to Oz or Nz and do a year's working holiday. You'll come back (if you do come back) a different person.

 

[Jonno]

Go to Brazil for a bit, impossible to feel miserable there, incredible football, birdage and weather.
