I live within my means. Hate being a slave to work and like time out whenever I choose.
Being under financial and time obligations are all unnecessary anxieties some people choose to put themselves through.
You can't take material things with you to heaven.
It's all about people, family and friends.
Towards later life you realise you didn't need half the stuff you accumulated so why be the busy fool if you aint going to enjoy life along the way.
Keep life simple and make time for yourself and those important to you

Bit late to the party but i add my pennies worth

yes i had a total mental breakdown,after the break up of my marriage  losing my dad to cancer.
i couldnt leave the house with out shaking to death and crying my eyes out ,i couldnt look anyone in the eye,the thought of some one talking to me was a scary thought and i couldnt,I was a total shadow of my former self.i lied on the settee for days crying,i could'nt see anything positive and nothing seemed straight forward,and i didn't want to be a problem to anyone and i was in my eyes,

my now wife was strong thank god and got me to the doctors,where i broke down and said "i dont want to be here" i could think of anything straight forward,it was a very dark place

out come
two years of anti depressions,it took longer to come off them than i was on them, 3months off work,and this is why i took up window cleaning and packed in a well paid managers job,i set my self small achievable goals and took each day at a time,i exercise and the wife started running with me,i talked and learnt to talk about my problem,its not shameful,and i learnt to read the signs when i am going back to that dark place,sometimes i get it right  and dont but other times i dont get it right and i hit that dark place 

alcohol was a big problem because it made me the person i wasnt,in fact it made the problems bigger and worst,and the bottom of the glass doesnt talk to you...fact

active now, more positive out look and where i want and want to go,somtimes it doesnt work but i have very good friends who i can talk to and i total trust them,and i also learnt never to old to learn somthing new,and when i do get Anxiety i have  afew sample ways to cope with it,but its learning it all the time   

slacky want to call then please do   

now

Has anyone tried psychedelics as a means to treat depression? There has been some amazing recent studies on the positive effects of psilocybin to treat mental health, There is a really good episode of 'The mind explained' on netflix that talks about this. Also a podcast called 'Making Sense' by Sam Harris which talks about this in depth.  I have been seriously considering this for some time now but am a little apprehensive.

Time goes by like a breeze just passing through the song says,I know it’s so easy to say it but life is short.

If that’s what you really want to be then I’m sure you’d find a way of becoming one

yep...i took plenty of LSD back in my youth.....it certainly gives you a whole different perspective on life.....i word of caution though....some people can have terrible trips and never fully recover.....i know some guys who ve never taken half as many drugs as me and they went a bit insane.....
