    Default Getting back on track...

    Alright guys, I'm back on Saddo's after a self inflicted hiatus...

    Can someone tell me wtf is wrong with me?
    My gf's family had been applying tons of stress, in various ways and just made my life a pressure cooker. Still managed to have a great Christmas, but it pretty much killed the relationship between myself n B.
    We parted in January, pretty nasty really, but I can put my hands up and swear I did right by my baby girl.

    I'd been training heavily and I won a couple of boxing comps in February. My head was in a blender so I pretty much won them on reflexes and fitness alone, it was pretty surreal. I was on a short-lived high and got a sports bursary from my college because of the wins.
    This gave me enough money to get me through college.
    Been taking a lot of stuff from my ex, she's regretting it now and taking it out on me in a big way ever since.

    Since I boxed last I've turned into the most self destructive dude I know.
    I'm abusing my body, not with substances or anything, just not eating/training properly and boxing retarded, standing straight in front of bigger fellas and getting my face ripped open....
    Why the hell am I doing this just for a kick?
    I've been doing amateur MMA too, really hard fights, but I just can't focus myself to train at all. I train like a machine for 3/4 days, eat really well for a bit and then I just don't follow up

    I box this day next month and haven't thrown a punch in about 4 weeks.

    When we were about 3 months apart I moved on, met with a bunch of different girls and all that. Was never more than briefly interested.
    Then later I started meeting up with a girl I'm in college with.
    She's one of the good ones and seemingly well into me.
    Got pretty close to her as friends and we've both said we'd meet up in September and maybe give it a go...
    I kid you not fellas this girl is just amazing.
    Problem is....I'm scared shitless.

    I got my results yesterday.
    I got a second class honours.

    Good to see you Alan and congrats on the degree!

    Sorry to hear about you and your missus, but these things happen for a reason. I always go a bit nuts when I have/had relationship breakups and anything woman related, so I know what you are feeling.

    Regarding this new girl, my advice be very careful and don't let yourself get attached to her. Woman are a head fuck and you don't need it

    Solid advice thanks H.

    Hadn't really hit me, until I finished the degree because I was so busy!

    Applying myself to the gym this week, so hopefully I'll get my focus back.

    good to have you back. sorry to hear about the shit you've been going through. Congrats with the degree that must be a lot of stress off your back. Don't worry about the new girl. If you're right for each other it'll work out.

    That weren't a proper leaving job though you've still been around.

    You sound about normal to me, donny.. in fact you still have the booze, drugs or both problem to look forward too

    Glad to be back now!
    Thanks, I'm happy with it. I'll probably regret not getting the 1st but I'll look into a masters to compensate I guess.

    Thanks Mate,
    I'm a fool for good looking girls-
    I see two options
    1) Wise up
    or
    2) Stay away from them.

    Lets be honest option 2 won't happen...

    Mate go steady, its a slippery slope your on. Today calpol, tomorrow you'll be knocking back Junior Asprin like your Kerry Katona.

    Congrats on the degree Donny. What did you specialize in again?

    Anyways, regarding the rough patch you've been going through, everyone experiences those times in their lives you just have to try and get through them the best you can.

    It's good to see you around.
