My newspaper (founded 1869) is ceasing to exist. The last edition is this Friday.
Redundancies are gunna take place. Almost certainly including me.
So the career is over, and it looks like I've wasted my 30s.
Damn right I'm fulla self-pity!
And my leg still sodding hurts.

That sounds pretty shitty, I'm sorry to hear that.
Struggling to find a reassuring platitude here.
So anyway, my life went all shit but now it seems to be getting a bit better. Not much, but a bit. See?

A bit less shit is probably a bit OK, I s'pose.
Pissed out my face listening to Spacemen 3 at the minute. Dunno what else to do.
Well, I do know, but I don't know anyone who'll sell me the necessary illegal drugez.

because I suddenly live in the middle of nowhere, I have to cycle 5 miles to work.
I wouldn't normally be inclined to deliberately do much to stay fit, but I certainly feel loads better after 7 months of enforced exercise.

But I'd rather die than get any exercise.
I don't even give a flying one about my mental wellbeing any more, cos I'm dosed up to the tits on antidepressants and it makes sod-all difference.

i understand how it feels when someone offers advice. all i can say is i've also been on anti depressants, and beyond. it has taken a long time, but i am now in a place where i think the worst of it is behind me.
btw, if the anti depressants aren't helping, they may not be the right ones for you.

My brother's paper was bought out and closed without notice, replaced by a free Metro edition. Fortunately he was well known around town after 18 years of his name in print as a reporter and editor, and picked up a new job in PR pretty quickly.
I hope there's a package for you in the deal?

There'll be a modest redundancy sum, yeah. Enough for a laptop (typing this on company property - maybe they'll let me keep it) and a phone, and a coupla months' breathing room.
No PR for me, though. 'Tis the devil's own work as far as I'm concerned.
