Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My pointless life

Sir….PLEASE DO! Once you take back control of your life and stop letting others dictate your happiness you will feel significantly better!….everything else good will follow.

Get some help so you can have clear and concise thoughts and act with intent. These times, while they feel endless, are merely speed bumps along the road of life.

Please feel free to reach out to me if I can be of any help.

If you can see to read, open the Bible to any page and read.

Or turn the TV on a religious channel and listen.

We dont get healed totally until we are with HIM.

damm straight

slummy always has the answer

As if Gautama Buddha himself has spoken.

I have been at or near the bottom a time or two....

You have health issues that are going to limit your time here.

I would say make the best of what you have left.... and mend the relationships you do have if possible.

Get up early every morning, get the coffee going and get the day started... and keep moving forward.

At the end of every day, you make a list for tomorrow that has two columns.. this is what I need to get done today, and this is what needs to get done this week.

Before you know it.... you will have the house clean, yard all square, garage organized and your life uncluttered and you will find reason to be up and moving every day.

Keep showing the hag and the dimwit will cause more to jump off the cliff.

Alvah, get the depression dealt with through counseling and/or meds. Until that is done you wont see things clearly enough to make long term plans. For today, just get through today. Not sure what you mean that marriage #3 is "on the rocks". If it's over, then it's over. If not, don't end it yet until you get yourself straightened out. Work toward no longer feeling like a victim. Eventually you must identify why you do not have many good relationships. Own the part of it that is your fault and work to improve it. As long as you live there is hope to improve these things. There will be a way forward. You just can't see it right now. I see you quoted scripture. If you are in a church, meet with the pastor very soon and let him know of your struggles. Hope it works out well for you.

Your own happiness does not depend on others. Your intolerable conditions are not the fault of others. No matter where you go, there you are. Grab your courage in both hands and take responsibility for yourself and your future. Fix yourself first.

Sometimes that’s the toughest part of healing…

It's never too late to make a positive change in your life. If the marriage is making you miserable then get out of it. I've been married once, divorced for eight years, and I don't plan on doing it again. Some guys think they have to be married to be happy, I'm here to tell you that you don't. You're not feeling well about your situation right now but I'm here to tell you that things can and WILL get better. It's temporary and there is plenty of time to find a good life that you enjoy waking up to every morning. Find someone local to talk things out with first, a pastor is a good choice. I don't know if you have one or not but I've never met one who wouldn't willingly invite someone who asked for help into their home to talk over coffee. If you don't know one then ask some older lady nearby who their pastor is, she'll be happy to put you in touch.

Just eat less and you wont be fat. Your statement is a b.s. copout. If you cook your own food and shop smart you can eat healthy for cheap, and portion control is the big factor. Every fatty has an excuse. Yours is the most common.

This sounds like a man ready to give up. Broke, kids don't come around, wife problems, about to be homeless.

He is in bad shape and seriously depressed. I would be too. Needs some serious anti-depressant therapy most likely a good prescription. We all have to die, no need to go out on such a sour note.

I would be looking at a health regimen, a divorce, filing bankruptcy, and moving on to some sort of government housing if it wouldn't be amongst a bunch of Norwegians. You are 69 and ambulatory. You can cure the obesity and prolong the cardiac issues. If parts of your life are causing you grief get rid of them. Those things aren't going to change.

I'm guessing you don't need a recalcitrant woman around. If you are still up to it they all have one of those things. Start going to a country church, the older widows will be showing up with food at your house.

No need to commit suicide, get rid of what grieves you, this country provides a lot of help for folks in your situation.

IMHO

1. Attend and volunteer at a rural church. Serving others will give you resolve and tons of hope.

2. Part time job will throw some cold water on the heat of financial issues.

3. Lean meats, veggies, nuts etc. Your body should respond positively to better ingredients.

4. Get what exercise your condition will allow.

I wish you all the best with this struggle. Prayers sent from N.C. for your well being.

Sounds like depression l. I'm dealing with it too lately and it's not my normal state. It's tough but I have to force myself to do something productive each day. Industry is the best remedy. I'm in chronic pain from an autoimmune disease and don't sleep well. It's the lack of sleep that catches up with me. It's my kids that keep me going but they are still young and need me. At least that's what I tell myself. There's always a better day right around the corner.

Get the depression dealt with and then get some dentures.

My advice to you is get your head screwed in right and start eating keto-vore diet. It's not exactly cheap to do but you lose weight without any effort and it will control your diabetes and insulin resistance.

Bro, on Jan 1 of this year I was 360 lbs. Not pre diabetic but had high blood pressure and I don't worry about cholesterol. I cut out all breads, cut all added sugars, grains, starches, and went an high fat low carb ketovore diet and did walking. I ain't doing anything special nor am I starving but wouldn't you know I'm down 60 lbs I'm 6 months. It was easy peasy and I didn't even have to try. Along the way I had set backs like a knee that bothers me, terrible gout, and my neck injury but still it didn't halt totally my progress. So eat meat, fats, and veggies like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, with some butter and don't touch the sugar and things happen. Also make sure to intermittent fast everyday with OMAD (one mean a day). The fast is key and after a week you'll be used to it.

In 8 more more months I'll be where I need to be and I'm enjoying what I eat and the fact that my blood pressure is better and I don't have to worry about diabetes. If I can do it so can you.

If I ever found myself in that situation I'd like to think I'd get myself a decent travel trailer and pickup, my dog, couple guns, fishin stuff, a mountain bike, and a big bag of the sticky icky..... just cruise man. Get one of those gigs being the campground chaperone or whatever.... easy livin. Follow the weather. Good luck man.

SO what are you gonna do about it, raise to the challenge or cry all day.

What's the, uh, "stick icky"?

I

Man when you get some bud, that stuff will stick to a mirror you sling it at.
The little purple flowers in it, mmmm yahhh. Resin be weeping out of the back of that spliff, tarry finger stickkng together.

Sheeewwww weeeeee.

You don’t share it, ride to back fields by yoself and park the truck and get all quiet.
