I'll be leaving the homeless the hell alone. They're mental! Well that's how the majority end up homeless bucko. Mental health issues and nobody helps them, so they fall through the cracks. You don't need to be so snarky about it d*ck.

I have a new one. Was in LA for WrestleMania. Last day before leaving, went to Wendy's for lunch. Homeless woman comes in, raking through the bins, me being the good natured person that I am, made the cardinal sin of offering her food. Her response is a loud " you!" and keeps walking to the bin behind me to rake through that. The next thing I know I feel a shower of liquid fly over my head, the crazy bum had thrown a drink in my direction. I was absolutely dumbfounded and she got put out before I could even react. Maybe she was a proud woman but Jesus Christmas. Surely if you're raking through bins for food you're pride is long out the window? I suppose I got what I wished for as on the last day I was saying to myself that I don't have any crazy stories to take home. But lesson learned, when I'm in America, I'll be leaving the homeless the hell alone. They're mental!

So almost 5 years ago I created the very successful 'What made you happy today?' thread. I have absolutely loved the daily contributions and am amazed to see it almost at 300 pages now!
But sometimes, the stuff going on in our heads can outweigh the happiness and we don't always have a place to vent which can be quite isolating. So I figured with it being January and January Blues running wild, at least for me, I'd try something different and start a new thread where you can come and talk about things that are weighing on our minds and perhaps even end up getting some much needed advice from someone who may have been in your shoes before in their own lives.
So... What's been troubling you lately?

Have started preparing for my crush's birthday later this month. Ordered her gift and have booked us into a fancy bar on top of a nice hotel for drinks and bowling.

Dated a girl last year for a couple of months, really liked her, fell for her, we were really into one another. After a couple of months she let me know that she realised she's just not ready for anything and needs to sort her MH out before dragging anyone else into it. Pretty much got friendzoned. Was bummed. Still talked every day really friendly and flirty until throughout the course of the year it became less and less and finally stopped.
Couldn't get over my feelings for her. Would reply to her snaps and message her occasionally before finally telling her that I miss her last night. Finally got the I miss you too and she said we can hang out. I've offered to take her out for her birthday next month which she seemed to love the idea of. Not getting my hopes all the way up because she has said before that she's working on herself right now but my messages to her seemed to really go well and get her in the feelings so I'm lowkey hoping it can happen because I cannot stop thinking about her and it's made for a rather sad month for me.

What was your first clue. I assume you work in a supermarket. You're going to get caught out soon enough with cameras. . The Costa machine is in a blind spot, the majority of the people working here do it as there's absolutely no way to know. I'm safe. Not that dumb.

I work for a retail store and if there's extra food such as sandwiches getting thrown out that night, I'll bag a handful and give them to any homeless people outside the shop or on my way home. We also have a Costa machine and I'll give them free hot drinks without paying for it myself either. That sounds like theft. What was your first clue.

People really will just look for a reason to be angry and outraged at something, no matter how hard they have to reach.

Just ordered a BCA Owen Hart from eBay in his Danger attire. If I don't include the mini figure from the WrestleMania mini ring set, this is my first ever Owen Hart figure!

Never had one. It's not really as necessary to have one in the UK as it seems to be in the US. I get around just fine via public transport and it saves me a lot of money! I'm really hesitant to drive to be honest. I can't picture myself on a motorway driving a car at all. Quite a scary thought. I'll stick to being a passenger for now.

First, I'm sorry you're going through that currently. It's not a fun place to be. But the fact that you're actively seeking advice and want to get help is a really good sign that you're going to get through this! I've been pretty fortunate that I only went through it once after a brutal and sudden breakup in the summer of 2021. But once is more than enough. I never knew what deep depression was until I actually experienced it and went through every stereotypical symptom of depression. Feeling like my life was over, not wanting to wake up, struggling to get up, not eating, not seeing the point in anything or enjoying the things I used to, having no energy to do basic things like take a shower or shave for days on end(and I'm a pretty clean guy!) and feeling extremely suicidal. After 2 months of feeling like that, the thing that turned it around for me was antidepressants. I pretty much asked for them on autopilot at the suggestion of others, and had zero expectations of them helping in any way. But I had all to lose and figured I might as well try. Almost right away they did exactly what people told me they would and soon enough they numbed my emotions and levelled me out. Long story short they helped save my life. Within 2 weeks I had gone on a date that went well and was feeling genuinely happy again for the first time in almost 3 months. When I was struggling, people had told me all the things you usually hear such as "it gets better". At the time you scoff at such nonsense and ask how they could possibly think that. But it's because they've been through it and they know what they're talking about. And low and behold, they were absolutely right. From September 2021, I've been only moving onwards and upwards and I'm the happiest I've ever been. My first step would be speaking to my doctor, it's what ultimately helped get me back on track. If you have good friends, confide in them and tell them how you're feeling too and ask for their perspective, the ones who've been through it are probably the better ones to lean on. Hang out with them when possible. I was fortunate to have good friends reach out when they knew I was struggling and being able to hang out with them or message them helped me feel less alone when I really needed it. You're gonna get through this man!

Good week at work this week. After I reported one of the so called store 'managers' last month for doing absolutely nothing when I reported an incident of sexual harassment to her, she's being investigated by my own manager and is likely going to face disciplinary action. Because apparently she's contradicting herself, changing her stories a lot and suddenly trying to retaliate against me with the most trivial, petty nonsense, which my manager is having none of. He knows she has a long, repeated history of being a c*nt.
As for me, I'm getting to go back to the city centre to work with people I know again after over a year away working in other stores! Reporting the bitch for being lazy worked out even better than I could have imagined. Appreciate my manager having my back in this situation. Will be nice to work where I'm appreciated once again.
Will be nice to work with adults again in a smaller, more positive setting as opposed to a larger place filled with vindictive people who act like school children who are all trying to get people in trouble for absolutely no reason other than the fact that they're spiteful people who take joy in that kind of thing. And these are people twice my age. I have absolutely no time for it and will nip that kind of behaviour right in the bud every time. I only worked in that place for a few months but apparently that's what it's been like there for years. I just refuse to put up with toxicity. Good luck to them, let them continue to be miserable people, but it's onwards and upwards for me!
Kinda feel like Drew McIntyre when he got released from WWE, went to the indies and then came back better than before.

Still enjoying my time off work. Been nice to enjoy my house and catch up on TV. Currently watching Catfish and Superstore.
