Sorry, only just seen this. I'm loving it. May and June would have been hell for me on the trains, due to the Thameslink timetable debacle, now I get a google notification every day telling me my journey to/from work will be 9 mins, with good traffic. My quickest yet is 7 mins. On the trains, on a good day, the commute would be over an hour each way.
So it means I get to spend time with my son in the mornings and take him to school, and also get home in time to spend more time with him in the evening. Before, I was home in time for bath and bed, and that was it.
Pretty awful. Personal life, career, both down the pan. Attempting to rebuild, but struggling with my mental health.
Welcome to middle age... There's a reason people cling to their friends from University. Marriage, a kid and a job mean you're functional, as basic logic. We're your firends, and we have this place: https://forums.hexus.net/hexus-social/. Start a thread, and what's the worst that can happen?
Great to hear it.
I'm also rapidly approaching middle age, and definitely experiencing some changes in attitude and approach to the World. While it may not work for everyone, I do think that's an excellent piece of advice. I know that having those things has always made my life happier, and more focused. Working toward a goal is important!
Health first, always. There's no substitute for proper medical treatment, and again, we're always here for you if you need to chat about stuff. We may just be random internet people, but everyone here wants the best for everyone else. That's kind of how this place works. Personal life and career will follow. Zak gave some great advice, but even if you are only working toward one of those things, it's still something that's ahead of you!

Going pretty good for me.
After a relationship ended it hit me hard, lost confidence, didn't go out, ate like crap and gained weight... 20 stone at my heaviest.
August last year I decided that I had to do something about it, if I don't like the way I look, no one else will.
So I started eating clean and hitting the gym, thus far, I've lost nearly 7 stone, the lightest I've been in probably 10 years, confidence is coming back in spades and I actually get out. (When I'm at my goal weight, I might put a thread together of what I'm doing / did)
On top of that, as mentioned in another thread, I recently got promoted to Infrastructure Engineer and recently found that the company will pay for any and all qualifications I want to go for...first up, MCSA then the world... I mean an MCSE..
So works look up
Health is looking up
Fitness is up
Confidence is up
Next is get dating
Thanks, health is fine, great even, working out a lot, it's all I have at the moment. Really my career is ok, it's not down the pan, and I'm pretty healthy for money for a long time yet, I just have little in the way of direction right now. Really it's my personal life that's abysmal, where I'm a spectator to things falling apart with no real explanation as to why. Attempting to put it behind me in part by ramping up brazilian jiu-jitsu sessions and making that my focus, and it's going pretty well right now, so I'm gonna keep on doing that until I start feeling a bit better about my mental health.
Also treating myself to a weekend away at a nice hotel this weekend as motoX is next door. Can't see anything but can hear everything, so gotta get out. Will be a nice few days of relaxing, hiking and good food & wine. Shame it's on my own but whatever.
