I live in AUSTRIA
You're just never satisfied, are you? I mean, they took the initiative to go the extra few thousand miles and went all the way to Australia to deliver your book, but are you grateful? Nooooo, you're focused on the most insignificant little details…

LOL @Filthy I think that's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
Spoilers ahead, but if you haven't seen Dumb & Dumber that's kind of on you
The studio wanted the final scene to pan out differently, with Harry and Lloyd figuring out they should get on the bus and doing so. The Farrelly Brothers (and I think Jim Carrey) were quite adamant and would not budge on the original ending. They were correct. Were it left to the studio, this and several other key things about the movie would have been wrong (they didn't want Jeff Daniels, for instance), and the movie would have flopped.
So much of it's improv'd, too — iirc the "WE LANDED ON THE MOON?" part, included. Aka my fave bit from the whole movie.

@mclaincausey if I could only pick one movie to ever see again, forever, it'd be Dumb and Dumber.

Non-sequitur but … Honestly I have two IH tabs open rn in my browser: one with the gallery for the IHWE-JOU and another for the IHDR-434-GCK. I just ... years into loving IH and it keeps getting better.

How is your 2022 going so far?
Mine sucks. On januari 20'th I get the PCR results back and tuns out I'm covid positive (I'm fine - was only sick of about a day). 1h later my wife tells me she is leaving me because she is unhappy and needs time to get her head sorted out. I can't sleep or eat for a week, lose 6kgs and develop an ulcer in my stomach from stress.
Today is my 35th birthday and I'm still trying to get my head around losing my best friend. Having to miss 50% of the life of my 2 boys and now, possibly losing my house. I swear, if somebody invents a pill that lets you sleep for a year, I'll take it.
See you all at 36!

Awful, sounds like a tough time.
-
That's fucking awful. As others have said, things will be ok. Take care of yourself, be nice to yourself, make sure to breathe.
Day by day, man. Day by day.

Sorry to hear all that, my man. Just do one day at a time.
Every situation is different, and I haven't experienced those same things, but I have been working through depression for the last several years. Every time I feel it coming on I just follow these 3 rules: Drinks lots of water, get plenty of sleep, and avoid social media for a few days at a time.

Oh man @scarfmace what a terrible start to the year. Better times wait you in your 36th year. Happy birthday!
-
thank you all for the kind words!
I'll be fine. I was in a dark place for a while but I'm recovering. I've written down a lot and was able to lean hard on friends. The thing is that nothing really happened. We had everything we can hope for, a beautiful house, 2 healthy boys and enough money in the bank to go on holiday every year. She has everything to be happy but she doesn't feel happy. So she wants to take a step back to reflect, and find out what is missing in her life. I can't help her and the divorce is absolutely necessary in her mind to be able to make a clean break.
We want to stay in close touch and centre around the kids.
I didn't see it coming and never even thought about this as a possibility, it hit me hard and I felt like a loser for a while. It feels like I'm grieving but the person is still actually there.
Anyway, looking back on the first week, I know that I'm a lot stronger now, and eventually, this will get its place in history and I'll move on from it. I'm strong enough to endure and stay focused on the positive. One day at a time. Yesterday was my birthday and I hit a low again, but today is a new day and still here
I know the forum is maybe not the best place to vent, seeing as most of you are complete strangers but for some reason it felt like something I had to get off my chest.
