What's the point anymore? Have woken up this morning and the world just seems to have gone to hell in a handcart. Yes it didn't happen overnight, but it's literally everything right now.
Wars all over the world.
Politics in the UK more obsessed with whether Prince Andrew did or didn't get up to anything with Epstein 25 years ago instead of actually dealing with important current matters, like the economy, the NHS, public sector generally.
The rise of the batsht far right in the UK.
Town couldn't win a fkin raffle.
The weather is sht.
Literally the only good news that I've seen in weeks is that our friend, who has stage 4 cancer diagnosis anyway, found anew lump and fortunately that's turned out to be benign, but literally everything just feels so goddamn futile at the moment. |  |

Sorry if I'm being dumb, but what the hell is "c601 FV (I think it’s BBC RB1)". There's a few English words in there but that basically looks like code to me! |
I'm guessing
Channel number 601
On Freeview
Which is Red Button No1 |  | | |

Cheers. Not really sure how to access those, but I guess it must be on BBC iPlayer somewhere. Sounds nice! |  |

Edward beat me to it! but you don't have to go to iPlayer to access it, which is great as I can only get that app on a separate firestick.
Just key in channel 601 on your remote. | |

You wrote
“ Life is actually pretty good if you choose to make it so.”
I hate glib platitudes like that. People who are homeless or chronically ill through no fault of their own, eg, don’t have a choice. |
Fair enough - my partner is chronically ill with conditions which will only get worse, she still says it and makes a choice to live the best she can. |  | | |

Sorry to hear to hear of her chronic illnesses.
Making the best of what you've got is also a big maxim of mine, but it's still completely different to what you originally wrote - "Life is actually pretty good if you choose to make it so" - which is a terrible generalisation, & particularly not true for those born with conditions which exclude them from choices that others have re education, employment, housing, social life etc.
And that's just for people in the UK. Imagine being born into a war-torn country constantly at risk of bombing, famine etc. | |

- Go outside
- Stay off social media for a bit
- Arrange to do things with friends or even strangers (talk and meet new people, however old your are, don't stay in a bubble)
- Remember you live in a relatively safe and stable country with clean water, access to healthcare and all sorts of other great things.
- Walk and walk some more
Also not sure why this is specifically for elders, younger people are struggling more than ever, are in debt longer, can't afford to buy preoperty and struggling to find careers etc. |  |

also try a vitamin d supplement |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

You have a higher standard of living than 99% of anyone who has ever been born. |  |

I guess that's proof that financial wealth doesn't necessarily make you happy. |  |

*Very* much this. Most adults in the UK are deficient in D (view of a variety of qualified medics).
People think of iron as the main energiser, but D3 (easiest form of D to assimilate) is absolutely crucial for it too. My energy & mood shot up dramatically when I started taking it as a supplement. | |

Who said anything about wealth? OP is basically free from starvation war and homelessness, and is free from many of the diseases that killed so many of their ancestors, and enjoys incredible personal freedoms being able to come and go as they please. OP has a better standard of living than basically everyone who came before them. This should I believe help OP overcome their ontological terrors and what seems to be a feeling of boredom and lack of purpose. | |

Yeah, you've cracked it.
Suffering from depression or anxiety? Think yourself lucky that you're not living in Victorian times and those feelings will disappear. |  |

"Just pull yourself together" apparently still a thing despite all the recent years of discussion & greater enlightenment on this forum. | |

I don't think you have taken the wording of the sixth and final paragraph of the OP on board, or the effect of that on one's state of mind. |  |
