The Healing power of Meth
Oct 7^th, 2021 at 8:06am

Ok so not meth, but Breaking Bad.

I was feeling bad yesterday. I had had awful nightmares, was tired and more than just physically tired. It was one of those days. Then, I remembered a quote I had heard from an episode of Breaking Bad that I had watched on Monday.

(Note: If anyone posts anything even resembling a spoiler for Breaking Bad, I will ban you and your IP from the site. Not even kidding on that. I have managed to go years without it being spoiled as I eventually worked my way around to watching it, I will end you if you ruin my streak.)

I found the clip on YouTube, watched it... and it worked. I got up, got out the house, I went slinging and even shot some video.

I am not one for motivational videos, captions or "inspiring quotes" hung up on walls, but this quote works for me. In case anyone needs it, here it is (There's no spoilers in case you are like me and get round to things late Cheesy

):

Thanks.

Hang on in there man. Those days suck, but they are days. There are also weeks, months and years. There's plenty of time for good things to happen as well. Go out and kick that bastard as hard as you can right in the teeth.

My thoughts are with both of you. Both of you need to know that you are genuinely good people and both of you have brought joy to me in hard times. Very hard times. Wish my arms were a bit longer and Id give you a hug.

I love that quote of his. Fear really is the enemy. For me, I find that while my hardcore depressive episodes are getting much more manageable as I eat better, i find my main enemy is apathy. Which is also a depression symptom just not one that is going to lead to suicide. Hooray for small victories lol!

I am literally a walking black pill in the sense that I just dont care anymore. I have all these ideas that I know would be so fulfilling and for which I HAVE THE SKILLS TO DO. But no f@#$ing motivation to do them. None. Its a struggle to even start a sling whereas years ago I loved making them. I got a 20x10 net in my backyard for slinging and havent used it much because I dont have the motivation. Damn...Im a really good worker at work but at home when I should be living life....nothin. just nothin at all.

Anyways so im comiserating with you guys. We all need to go live on Vets land. We can pay him a bit and wear loin cloths and get brutally drunk on Joes mead every weekend. Pretty sure thats the answer.

Be well guys and not just you guys but all who are reading this and feel a bit out of sorts. You deserve to be happy.

I am fit, well, happy and loved.

I sound like a stoned Dalek .

I have weaned myself off anti depressants and my body chemistry is re- adjusting.

Sometimes, little things seem huge but most of the time the sky is a brighter blue than a blue thing, eating blue paint at a blue sparkly nail varnish party.

Time to go for a walk

I'm in.

even room for the dogs

why did communes go out of fashion ?

If I ever find myself completely on my own, selling up and shipping out could well be the way to go.
