I'm a ****ing nightmare with books tbh. Read anywhere between 2-6 a month but I've recently got into a habit of buying **** loads thinking I need them but end up forgetting about half of them.

Means I have too much choice and end up slacking for a few days. Got about 12 unread at the minute and no idea which to pick up.

i might need to get back into reading. I haven't read a book in a long time although i was half way through prisoners of geography. Too busy either gaming, exercising, reading **** on here or on reddit.

Yeah that's exactly how it is for me. Just get distracted constantly whereas with books it's fine.

Last night's conversation has motivated me to go through my books anyway and work out exactly how many I've got which I haven't read.

Might even ask you lot* which one I should read next.



*Not you luv
We’ll just diagnose you on here. We know more than poxy doctors anyway.

Is it just TV or does it happen with a lot of things in life? Like you’ve seen me on here constantly start something then within weeks I drop it like a stone. Fantasy football, prediction leagues, it’s everything really. I’m not playing up to it, it’s just how I am.

im the same with people

Cross lines and I’m fine with walking off, discrediting everything between us and just living like that person never happened.

I will start whole projects, complete 90%, then think, I’m not happy with it and trash the whole thing to happily start over

We gonna need a big arse couch in the waiting room of the Not606 Psychiatric evaluation department

I’m starting to think this place has a lot to answer for the current mental health pandemic in this country. I’m sure everyone was fine when they originally signed up to the place and now everyone is barking mad.

I’m similar with people when it comes to trust. Break my trust and you’re out my circle. No second chances, trust can’t be won back.

We need the least fkd up person as our assigned community nurse. Chief or Luv maybe?

Yeah it's basically everything, I go from hyper focused to not arsed at all very quickly similar to you. It's why I always find it funny when you start one of your threads that we all know won't last cos I relate to it.

Tbh it has probably played a huge part in my drug use in that I was seeking gratification that I struggled to find elsewhere.

I was told I almost certainly have some sort of attention disorder but I wouldn't take any meds for it so not arsed about a diagnosis.

best medication is to learn to love yourself, criticise the man in the mirror and be comfortable with your own company.

People who always need other people are the worse types to have in your life

misery loves company

I love my own space, I hate pretending to be interested in company I’m really not interested in for the sake of others or a social event.

You probably don’t need any. Beating your demons and addictions is testament to the strength you have to overcome adversity even if you haven’t realised it yourself.

You’ll be alright.

Same bro. There’s nothing more liberating than getting my **** together and ****ing off half way around the world by myself.

I should probably scale back on the overconfidence and putting myself in dangerous places and situations when I’m on my travels but I’m confident enough to handle any situation that I face. It makes life interesting, as well.

Exactly that mate. Pisses me off that they always try and force medication on people. Of course for some people it'll be very beneficial but the majority it won't help and arguably makes things worse.

It's often just an easy option for overworked doctors and under resourced services imo.

Just finished sorting my book case out and it's actually much worse than I thought. I've got 30 on there which I've not read yet, I even found 5 in an Oxfam bag at the back of my wardrobe FFS <laugh>

Just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (the Martian was his first)

it’s okay, not as grounded in science as his first, but a good read.
