You mfers need to start cooking…

Pfft go and eat any of the gluten free versions of regular food and get back to me. Some of it is fucking horrendous.

My recommendation? Make a vegetarian cognac pasta with vegetarian bacon and tell me how you managed to make it yum lol

Just discovered "Well & Good" cheesy mac mushroom pasta. It's going to become a favourite. Really tasty , vegan & g/f. Might do something for your vegan bacon. Geting some different stuff from the Gluten Free Shop. It makes a hole in our food budget but it also adds to well being so worth the price just to feel normal in my book

I see where you are coming from- didn't mean to imply I only eat pizza, icecream & chocolate. the following was our g/f menu for this week :
Monday - Roast chcken with a selection of roasted winter vegetables & g/f gravy + apple crumble & cream
Tuesday - Nacho mince + banana, & manderin with yoghurt
Wednesday - Fresh hoki, lightly crumbrd & served with a mixed green salad, tomatoes & boiled potatoes Follwed by a scoop if rum & raisin icecream
Thursday - Beef Strog + Tinned peaches & yoghurt
Friday - it's getting toward the weekend so I'm winding down a bit - Grilled bacon , egg & mushrooms. Repaet desert of peaches & yoghurt
Tonight it's WARRIOR time : Curried chicken & rice with a few mixed frozen veg thrown in. Followed by more rum & raisin icrecrem & a couple of glasses of cider if you don't mind - Cheers
Sunday - Probably common old sausages & mash with assorted leftover veges. Depending on Sat's result - might even be roast beef - definately NOT a pizza . Here's to a win for the Wahs eh Mr F White

Fucking love it

The only thing I want to chip in is that is important to have good relationships in your life. Honour your mother and Father even if they have faults and get on well with your sisters and brothers even if they offended you ten years ago in a family drama. Do all those things and they will be there for you in a mental health situation and support you through it. Family and firends are very important when you are struggling. The worst thing that can happen is for you to hit rock bottom and be isolated when it happens.
If you are isolated but healthy right now be aware there can be insidious impacts of this that can lead to a stress meltdown so in all it helps to work on forgiveness and relationships. Where possible as I know this can be hard sometimes.

One of the best posts in this forum from you Wrighty

Couldn’t agree with you more

Needless to say, for your own sanity... don't watch the first half of the Titans Vs The Warriors.

Needless to say, for your own sanity... don't watch the first half of the Titans Vs The Warriors.

In fact, don't watch the game at all.

'I need to harden up and get on with it': Ivan Cleary opens up on battle with mental health​

Four-time NRL premiership coach Ivan Cleary has opened up about his lengthy battle with mental health.
The 53-year-old lifts the lid on his ongoing fight in a new autobiography, where he details his issues with depression.
Cleary has cemented his named as one of rugby league's most successful coaches, having led Penrith to the last four titles.

But along the way he's been hiding a health battle that many men remain quiet about.

"I've been lucky enough to win four premierships in the last four years, but it took 26 years to achieve that as a player and a coach... there are a lot of downs as well in a long career," Cleary told Nine's Today.

"Probably in 2019 when I first went back to Panthers I definitely knew I was struggling. I'd had some previous instances that I probably didn't really realise. I suppose over time you work it out.
"Struggling to get out of bed, or not wanting to. Other things like becoming emotional for no real reason... or there obviously are reasons there.
"I was, like many men, I was holding it all in, not discussing it. I started by talking to my wife - she made it very clear she was disappointed I wasn't opening up.
"I thought I didn't want to burden her, or that people are doing it harder than me, I need to harden up and get on with it.
"It's been a long journey, but something I wanted to share because it's not all beer and skittles."

Mental health is one of the biggest and most common struggles for men in Australia.
Cleary hopes by speaking about his own battle he can encourage others to seek help.
"A lot of men everywhere are feeling pressure. It might just be to make ends meet each week," he said.
"Everyone is talking about the cost of living, and if you are providing for a family you are always under pressure in many respects.
"I saw the opportunity to try normalise it and talk about it more."
