"What would you do if you had to choose out of 2 options. Option 1 - Stay as you are, comfortable but bored. Option 2 - Take a massive risk that could change your life for the better - but you could fuck up your comfortable life. Which would you choose? Think hard - you could lose everything " i dont have a boring life so I'd take a massive risk | |||

"My husband took 2, and it fucked all our lives... Which is why I stay in 1. " That sounds like an interesting (sad?) story ? X | |||

"OP, which would you choose?" I don't know - I'm torn I recently moved house - which is what I wanted. I love my own space but I'm still bored and lonely. It's just another location to sit in my pyjamas on my own in I have to change things before I eat and drink myself to death | |||

"What would you do if you had to choose out of 2 options. Option 1 - Stay as you are, comfortable but bored. Option 2 - Take a massive risk that could change your life for the better - but you could fuck up your comfortable life. I would choose option 2 without Hesitation and if I didn’t work out then at least I can say I have tried, But on the other hand it might work out okay, it’s good to take risks sometimes Which would you choose? Think hard - you could lose everything " | |||

It's just another location to sit in my pyjamas on my own in I have to change things before I eat and drink myself to death " Very little of my life is the same that it was 2 years ago. There are other avenues to help boredom. In a crazy delusional moment I joined a women's field hockey team recently. Why? I'm not really sure but I wanted something to do that would help me connect with myself as something other than mum, co-worker, daughter etc Apart from newly discovered shin splints, it was the best thing I've done for myself in ages. I don't have a clue what you could see yourself doing but a leap of faith can sometimes work out really well. | |||

I just as just reading something about mental health and challenging work/projects and a network of friends seem to be the keys to good physical and mental health , depression is a much bigger killer than drinking and smoking so you sound like you do need to change things if you are doing all 3 of them So what is your option 2 ? | |||

I travelled for years so I dont feel like strapping a backpack on at my age - I dont know what I want. Option 2 is quitting the shit job and seeing what happens | |||

"Why does it have to be one or the other OP. You’ve just achieved something you wanted (moving house), why can’t you make some assessments of what you might like to change for the better in your life and set about achieving them, whilst maintaining your comfort levels. That way you can experiment with what works for you and what doesn’t without compromising everything all at once. " This I’d choose option 2 but I’m lucky to have amazing family and friends that would be there for me if it all went tits up. | |||

Very few people really know what they want, but it’s the journeying, adventure and finding out that counts. If you want some good friends , then start being a good friend, there are plenty of people in need of one - open your eyes ! | |||

"Professionally speaking, I’m on the verge of option 2. The risks are massive but something needs to change. Mr" Often the risks of not doing it are just as big in the long run. Humans are very adaptable once you get over initial paralysis and start moving. | |||

"Could you go for a holiday ? Then make your choice" I cant afford a holiday at the moment - moving house took every penny I had. But maybe a holiday from work in April. X | |||

I'm incapable. I can only repeat the same shit over and over. I'm a lost cause- I feel like it's all or nothing!" A few things jump out from what you said: 1. You could do, as others have said, option 1 during the week and option 2 during the weekend. There are lots of people in a similar position to you and the social side here is quite active. You can get a group of similar people from here and go to each other’s places on weekends so you can socialise, get slightly too d*unk and laugh with other people. 2. You probably need something to aim for to choose option 2. Going to live in India is possible, especially if you know people there. Going anywhere is possible but you need to figure out what. The reason for this is it gives you something definite to fight for; at the moment you’re just frustrated and want “anything but this”. That’s not a cause that will keep you going through the tough times. It shows when you said you want to walk into work and tell them to fuck off. If you do that (I know it’s just a fantasy but let’s allow your brain to run with it) it forces you to do something next. Right now you don’t know what next, that’s why you need to do the thing that forces it to happen. Life is tough so be kind to yourself. Rather than beating yourself up because you’re not doing anything, think that you have realised something needs to change and you’re already on that journey. | |||

Option 2 - Take a massive risk that could change your life for the better - but you could fuck up your comfortable life. Which would you choose? Think hard - you could lose everything " It's not a possible question Risk is vastly variable If you suggest the risk is the roulette wheel on black or of any equivalence then I'm staying However if at any point the risk is based upon my person performance be that my judgement then I'm taking the risk Money where mouth is I'm hoping to do just that in near future | |||

Material things or your health/sanity? Material things can be replaced . I think life is too short to sit on your arse whinging about something that's in your power to change. | |||
