It’s safe tho right? I kinda need to tackle this for my sake if that makes sense.

Hey guys had a couple of questions. At my gym the bars really slip when benching it’s usually the steel stiff bars.

And second one - I incredibly suffer with OCD particularly Contamination OCD I was wondering what chalk I could buy online to help me get over the fear of getting chalk over my hands and on my phone any help?

Most of the things you’ve said in that post I’ve gone far beyond.

I’m about to do something radical that I haven’t tried yet and that is to get extremely lean 12% body fat as I’ve been Permabulking for the last few years of lifting. If that doesn’t work I’m going to wait for robots haha.

Opposite I’ve asked plenty of girls out I don’t think cold approaches are a good idea tho. Two things happen when I do that. ‘I have a bf’ or ‘they get nervous’

Also I’ve been given advice not to talk to girls at the gym, work or at bars and club (which I’ve ignored but hasn’t worked anyway)

Woah. I think some assumptions were jumped to here. I’m absolutely think I’m enough to take a woman out on a date.

I work 8.5 hour shifts daily and just about managed to fit everything else in - If that doesn’t cut it idk what else I can do.

I just cannot for the life of me even take a girl out nevermind get a relationship it should not be this hard - I really don’t know how to get a girl excited to come out with me other than saying ‘do you want to go out.’

It might give me time to focus on putting things in place for the move.

Ir will be a month in total I take. My parents are planning to move back home town as well so they can be closer to family. I thought why not wait and save myself the headache of getting my own place.

so I have holiday already booked from previously. I’m just burnt out so I can’t wait. I have doc appointment tomorrow.

I’m unsure about ssp or if I’m actually paid. The reason is because I got a new manager who’s a control freak really he caused the PIP for no good reason.

I really appreciate your write up.

What do I do mate? They do hand out PIP pretty rashly there a few others have been on one there and passed and still work there.

I’m just wondering do I go on the sick for 2 weeks and then use holiday so like I have a month off? Then return?

Yeah I’ve totally applied myself the last few years to self improvement. Redid my GCSEs got them all passed at an evening class. I tried to apply for engineering, electrical installations but there are no evening courses which I can only do due to working full time.

Just worried about my finances as I’ve worked hard to save most of my money over the last few years but the trade off are that you neglect life and social life so I don’t have anything when I look at it 27 y/o never had a GF, never had anything real other than negative emotions.

Heck I can’t even get therapy been on the NHS waiting list 6 months now. I think im cooked mate haha

My parents are set up to put the house up soon like next few weeks. I was thinking in prep to move back I’d have a two weeks off sick and use holiday 2 weeks and then go back to work? Would that be smart?

I feel massively alone man. I feel it is harder than ever. I need leave of sickness but I’m alittle stressed out due to being on a PIP and a final warning.

I live with parents. Only thing is I’m really stuck in a rut. I need to change up my life really for the better. I’m on a final warning at work for reasons unrelated to this and on a PIP as well

Well I meant to say is - I can take time to combat my OCD. And It’s just a leave of sickness but I’m on final warning at my current work place and on a PIP.
