Fucking hell, what happened when you were 8
The drinking began…
No stress became yes stress
It was the divorce.
School had us wake up earlier than desired, homework was a chain around our necks with unspeakable consequences had it remained incomplete, peer pressure had us do crap to seem cool and stick with the crowd, societal expectations required us to act a certain way and be presentable in ways which we were not. People like to call it growing up, but really, it’s just instilling obedience to willingly slave away as the so-called working class.
They grow up so fast
Cocaine
That’s when I started getting chunky and mostly never stopped, depression followed at 10/11, sleep went somewhere in the early teen years…
Holy shit, I have never seen that before… that may be the best recovery I’ve ever seen in any fight.
Just… holy shit.
Potentially critical error -> I win.
In approximately one second.
Damn.
Yeah that was Joaquin Buckley back in 2020. Career defining highlight for sure. He’s still in the UFC and highly ranked. Super dynamic striker. Guy he slept is Impa Kasanganay. Also a great fighter but not in the UFC anymore. MMA is so fucking exciting.
His parents made him do homework

Love to listen to the whole album including this part. So well done…
For anyone interested, he’s talking about OK computer by Radiohead which is ok in my opinion
I was already depressed when I was 7 as I was bullied since I was 4
What kind of 7 year old had their mental health on track?
Ignorance is bliss!
I was (and am) hypervigilant because of the environment I grew up in.
By 7 I was already traumatised, probably. Didn’t know it back then though.
No stress and no depression at 7? That’s great. I would have to go back to 4.
Right nutrition? I know I ate shit loads of sugar at that age and hated most vegetables.
And that was right for a rapidly growing body. Well. Rightish.
Damn, I don’t even have one
Empowering question: Which one would you start with?
kms
Nah, maybe start drinking less and save some cash while you’re at it?
I played a game for a while that I could either have a dessert or drink that evening. Not both - that’s cheating!
They kinda all play into each other.
I’ve been dealing with depression and other health conditions since I was a preteen. It took me a longggg time to recognize my mental health is always the priority but also ongoing, there’s no “destination”. If I’m the right weight, no debt, zero alcohol etc but I still want to die then there’s no point.
Of course they all intertwine but front of mind for me is keeping some semblance of a purpose and desire to want to be here. For example, I can’t work full time because I don’t cope. Took me a long time to give myself permission to just not have that as a goal. I survive by working part time, the finances aren’t ideal, but I am able to enjoy moments of life more often than when I was working full time (in and out of hospital).
Purpose is the biggest thing to find, something that gives your life meaning, everything else comes after that.
Nice. Hang in there. You are more valuable than your work!
I got 5/7 of those, will be 6/7 in a few months, hopefully 7/7 by the end of the year.
How to eliminate stress?
Not possible entirely. These goals are unrealistic really!
How to manage stress is a better goal because life is always going to involve stress. I think it’s managing everything on this list rather than eliminating. Zero debt isn’t possible for a lot of people. Zero alcohol is a choice, why?
Just figure out what’s important to you personally and how to manage things the best way that you can. All these things go in and out of whack through life.
Yeah I have a mortgage and car payment, and I’ve been a lot less stressed than a few years ago. Nutrition is good, working out 3x a week, ideal weight, 6-8 hours of sleep (but I don’t need more than that).
