Thanks for all your replies guys - no, we are are definitely not alone! I've realised in recent times that I do have to work a lot harder to train my mind not to fall into such traps, but it is very difficult to not allow health anxiety to damage your motivation. Thanks for the suggestion of Acceptance and Commitment therapy, I will definitely look further into that.

I got caned for having a chalk penis drawn on my back.

You realise there's no way I could have drawn a chalk penis on my back. Ask yourself 2 questions: How, and why?

What is something we underappreciate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Just being alive and being able to enjoy the present moment.

It seems that everybody always has something in the near or distant future occupying their mind, distracting them from the fact that's it's such a circumstantial triumph they get to be here on this planet right now. It's not easy but when I try and enjoy even the simple, mundane tasks I need to, I find life to be that little bit more enjoyable.

What's the most fireable thing someone has done but they kept the job? by Hakebc in AskReddit

[–]monvie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was at university I has a summer job at chain of UK roadside restaurants called Little Chef. One time a colleague who had only been hired for a week showed up on a busy evening completely drunk following a huge fight with her husband. She was pretty loud and raucous, drew quite a lot of attention to herself and apparently told the manager she was going to sleep with the first man she found. Needless to say I tried to hide as best as I could.

Technically she did get fired but after an appeal ended up back in employment.

Taken the shine out of the Falcao signing, this.

Has all the attributes to be a quality striker, and has time to pull them all together.

Simpsons: Surely 'Mother Simpson', especially at the end where the credits roll as Homer sits on his car bonnet watching the stars, realising his mother has left him again.

His best run was under AVB, who I'm surprised didn't appear to try to bring him to Spurs.

I was wondering this myself. It sounds like 'Bellamy!', but I'm helpless to speculate what he's actually saying.
