Everyone looking after themselves? I started a new workout routine and I’ve quit smoking (mostly) and it’s really helped.

Hope everyone is okay wherever you are!!

    I don’t know what effect it’ll have on my back when I’m an Old Man™, but it’s probably better than sitting (although it might be best to sit and stand intermittently rather than just standing for ~8 hours, so you’d need an “adjustable” desk). It’s mostly nice to be able to move around a bit and stretch m’legs wit’ th’chair

    That sounds rough. At least you’re able to recognize when you need a break. (Judging by my comment count I should probably calm down a bit too)

      Hmmmm yeah remembering back to service industry work and standing for 8 hours or more was hell! Breaks plz haha.

      I tend to try and walk t’ shop at lunch t’ get ma bait as my break from sitting down at the moment but I do need more time away from my desktop.

      Yeah ngl without any proper help due to shambolic mental health care provision it gets really rough but healthy lifestyle changes etc have helped a lot! I’m getting better at recognising my triggers and combating irrational thinking but sometimes I don’t catch it and once I’ve split my day just becomes a write off 😔
