Brutal beating. They play 3 I’m told so maybe a come back
Omg I sure hope they get their act together for the next game. Has been painful watching tonight 
And yes 3 games, each a fortnight apart. Always better when the 3rd is the decider

That’s like a 10 goal loss in AFL. So 2 weeks wait for the next one?
Yep 2 weeks until game 2. I think tonight’s score was a record
Ouch. My first origin as a Queensland resident lol. I’ll probably be out at sea for the next 2.
Ahhhh as a qlder I’m embarrassed this was your first! Well if tonight was anything to go by, you won’t miss much with the next 2 haha… nah, they’ll actually come back strong for the next one 
That was a bloodbath! Origin night would usually mean a few cans for me but managed to get though the night.

Ahhhh yes!!! Well then, you’re now the legend that QLD couldn’t be tonight 
seriously, well done!
Hmmm deep breath. Really struggling this morning, more so mentally than anything else. Yesterday I had a day off to take a friend to hospital so then was bored shitless at home and felt the urge to drink for the first time in weeks. I contained the urge but today just feel really flat. I’m 49, been working the same mundane job for 4 years and just get to point of thinking what is the point of life?? Going through the same thing day in day out. I try not let others behaviours effect me but it is super difficult at times. Normally at times like this I can control my emotions mainly by using sensory mindfulness but sometimes nothing can cure the melancholy/unhappy feelings. My fortnightly counselling session was cancelled due to lockdown and just feel frustrated. Ahh well, just gotta keep on punching I suppose.

Sorry to hear bro, it can get tough no matter how well you’re going sometimes. One thing that works for me every time and I mean ever time is breathing exercises. I started with the 3 round Wim Hof exercise then moved on to a more intense version followed by jumping into a completely cold shower for 3 minutes at first but now I just have cold showers in general. It was just something that works I can’t explain it.

Thanks mate. I too use a square breathing technique but this morning just felt like everything was failing. Just needed to write something out expressing my feelings I suppose.
That’s good man, off ya chest can help simply enough sometimes.

Hey Seb. Is the counsellor not able to offer telehealth appointments via Skype or zoom instead? Can you find out if they can provide that?
There’s a saying that I’m often told and it annoys me lol but it’s also very true. That this shall pass. These feelings. These thoughts. The highs. The lows. They all always pass. Keep doing all the right things that are working for you and try to do some extra things for yourself that you genuinely enjoy. I think in times like this we need to focus on self care and being kind to ourselves. Hang in there, it will get better again.

Thank you. They did offer a telehealth appointment but I really don’t enjoy phone consults. I used the journal on this app (which I generally just fill out at night)to write some helpful stuff which seems to have lifted my spirits. I generally can allow certain emotions to sit with me and soon after let them pass, just this mornings feelings seemed to linger way longer than usual. Feeling much better this afternoon, thanks guys.
