What's your most relaxing thing to do? Aside from a vacation.

take a what day? mental health day?

fitzmulti · 03-15-2015, 08:29 AM

It used to be correcting people's spelling, but now that I see the other thread, maybe I'll stop with that.
j/k, LOL!

I watch a LOT of sports on tv, but actually NOT work, or do anything else at the same time.
{Usually while working I'll have sports or whatever on tv, and 1/2 assed pay attention to it, LOL!}.

Haven't had any luck having a full day. I have to at least check my emails and some stats etc.
I just try not to think of my self as 'in work mode' on that day. Also I mentally eradicate guilt of not being productive

"Mental health day"? Step number 1 would be to stop being a pussy in life.

i think i know where you are coming from now.

the most relaxing things for me are my true, serious hobbies. learning to play the guitar is a great way to get out of my head but still be thinking/focusing/learning. I find I'm very refreshed, clear-headed, optimistic, etc. after my practices. even when I might not have made my goal(s) for that session or whatever.

from what i've read here that you've posted, you seem to have a variety of interests and such, so i'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know about a good hobby.

Ahhh, you know....that's not a bad idea. My dad recently moved in with me and he sings and plays guitar. I have a banjo....maybe I can get him to teach me how to pick. I bet it will make him feel good too.

Thank you so much for that little tidbit. That's probably a better plan than drinking.

But my message did not go through. AIM to ICQ so I dunno.

The Porn Nerd · 03-15-2015, 09:18 AM

For me a mental health day means staying AWAY from a computer. Problem is, we have smart phones now so we literally take our computers everywhere with us. And I cannot be completely cut-off from life so I bring my phone and the challenge becomes not to look at it every ten minutes. LOL

Go to the movies, take a walk in the park, take a day trip somewhere, go for a long drive, go shopping at a mall or (better yet) flea market or fair. Just get OUT and AWAY from all these damn SCREENS and you will feel better.

Man - I am so not into my phone half the time it's under my bed on vibrate - the other half I leave it in the car. I have no problem ignoring every text I get.

I think for me life has just been so active and hectic and I'm looking for a corner to hide in for some just quiet time.

Eh, it's probably just fucking PMS.

BlackCrayon · 03-15-2015, 09:33 AM

i hate taking a day off. its stresses me out thinking about all the shit i am not getting done. i don't like feeling that way as i am also missing out on other things when i am working. the closest i came to taking a day off in years was when my son was born but even then...still checked email. we're all hamsters spinning round and round.

Give yourself a daily purpose. Three things that you need to do tomorrow that actually make a difference. Checking email is most likely not making a difference. Don't be stressing yourself out because you might miss one newsletter giving you a 50% off deal.

Once you complete those three things that actually matter, your mind will be able to relax and recharge for the next day where you can be more productive and efficient because you aren't spazzing out thinking you need to be clicking the mouse button every three minutes.

I had three things on my To Do list today. One is done. About to knock out the second. Cool as a cucumber.

That's not a good feeling.

What the fuck is a mental health day? If you need to take a mental health day it means your mother breast fed you way too long.

I do a marathon binge session and watch "Faces of Death" 1, 2, 3, and 4.

I just feel vibrant and alive after and ready to face the world once again.

I wish they'd stop pussifying mental illness.

I'd do charity work, but all the organizations have got the same language thing going on.

Run. Play. Exercise. Pizza and cold beers. Bike. Go to the lake. Swim. Have sex. Repeat. More pizza, more beer. Play with our cats. Go shopping / Buy my love a little present, buy myself a bigger present.

A bigger present for you!!!! LOL that's just not even right man.

I went shopping, played with the dogs AND played my flute. (will come back to the guitar or banjo)

Too cold and windy for outdoor activities really or yep, I would have probably taken the horse for a ride. Hopefully this week.

This little girl makes giggle at least.

Here is Mind, the main mental health charity in the UK

Home | Mind, the mental health charity - help for mental health problems

It's all very caring and sharing, and the fonts used certainly suggest that. But I think it encourages a softness among service users, when the reality of living with mental illness is hard. So I can totally understand the opinions in this thread (and elsewhere on the forum), that people with mental health problems are basically soft in the head.

I envy the straight-ahead business folk on here who've never had to deal with this shit. I guess I'm just frustrated that I haven't found what I'm looking for

Not into anything other than weed. I tried shrooms for the first time ever last year and all I could think was - don't look in the mirror or some poltergeist stuff is gonna happen. I'm not a good person for trippin probably.

What kind of issues do you have?

I don't have any actual mental health issues, it's just a term here when life is overwhelming and you need to shut down from the rest of the shit and reconnect with your divine self.

At least that's my definition of it lol.

Yeah, they should really go with a more cold, impersonal font. Something clinical. Maybe Akzidenz-Grotesk?

I dunno what the rest of yous are talking about. Mental health day is like a spa day or something? Seems important to keep your mind strong, cope with stress and prevent stroke. (it's like a heart attack for your brain!)

Maybe just watch/read something interesting/intriguing to you and let yourself get caught up in it.

But it doesn't have to be clinical. Just not fluffy.

I totally get what you're saying. It's like they aren't taking it serious enough. As if it can all be fixed with some foo foo bullshit.

BUT a font is a font, you never know until you try.
