       Have Animal and Ox done a runner?

       Just wondering if Animal and Ox have sacked it. Enjoyed reading
       their journals on here and on MT of old.

       Ox hasn't been as frequent for while due to moving and changing
       job which are monopolizing his time.
       Animal went away nearly 2 weeks ago. Maybe he was going for 2
       weeks not 1 hence his slightly extended exodus. Not seen him on
       IG either so I am assuming he is still vacationing

       Yeah they both had good journals. Like DV said ox had to pull
       the pin due to starting up his own training business and moving.
       I believe he’s on insta and doing YouTube vids though.
       Animal I’m fairly confident he will pick up the journal when he
       gets back. He loves us too much to leave us out in the cold!

       I’m still around just took some time away from the internet. I
       really needed it. I’ve had mental health issues most of my life
       but last 6months it’s got a lot worse to the point where I’m
       being assessed for biopolar disorder.
       I have good, really good weeks where I’m the most productive and
       positive person and I don’t stop. I built a whole gym from
       scratch in the garden over a few weeks in the summer, impulsive
       crazy thing but then I crash and badly, and get to the point of
       full blown breakdowns where I’m self destructive.
       A couple things recently have caused a proper spiral. My
       grandmother died who I was very close to.  I’m also on the other
       side of the world, away from my family and that does affect me.
       It’s all so sh!t on face time.
       Took a couple weeks off work, nice
       Holiday, day after we get back I come off my mountain bike and
       smash into a boulder and hurt myself pretty badly. Dislocated
       elbow, bashed up shoulder and my back has been fvcked since.
       9ish
       Hours in A&E later and I haven’t been and able to press or pull
       and I can’t put a barbell on my back. I keep trying to tell
       myself I’m lucky as I didn’t break anything and others have had
       it a lot worse but not being able to train has massively
       effected me.
       Probably the wrong time but when accident happened I decided to
       come off gear completely after 5years. I needed to see if I
       could do it and also see what effect it having on the rest of
       me. I’ve only ever done blasts when I’m in a good head space and
       Test has always helped with my anxiety. PCT is just one day at
       a time!
       For now I’m losing weight, doing lots of walking and focusing on
       not using food as a quick fix which I’ve done my whole life.
       I’ve increased the amount of King Fu classes I’m going to
       although I can only really stand at the back and work on my
       technical forms as I can’t  participate properly and hit anyone
       or a bag. But that’s helping and I hope to move up a grade next
       month with all the extra form stuff I’m doing.
       it’s been good away from the net. It can be such a great a place
       but also terrible! I hope to be back soon and start building
       things from scratch.

       Well... it's good hear your still around and in one piece (just)
       But, man, I'm really sorry to hear you've been struggling. The
       fall and the injuries suck but they will hopefully heal. Having
       the mental health crash sucks, I know you are always fighting
       the good fight but you had seemed to have had more highs this
       year than lows so I truly hope you can get thru this alright.
       I know we always say it's good to vent anonymously here but if
       you need the break then take it. You know we're not going
       anywhere

       Life really sucks at times. It seems like you have the mental
       fortitude to pull through each time though. I hope you get back
       on track shortly mate.
       All the best.

       Nice to see you back posting Animal. Sorry for your loss and
       then the accident on top of that. Sounds painful!
       Time away from the net is underrated and I think everyone should
       do it from time to time.
       I have breaks but I also limit myself on how invested I get. I
       may come across as rude because I like to read people’s journals
       and posts but don’t comment. That’s done on purpose because the
       way I’m wired has me genuinely too wrapped up with others
       struggles and goals to the point where their bad days and
       experiences effect me. I know that sounds daft but hey ho. You
       have been a great sounding board for many on here and MT over
       the years so maybe try not spreading yourself so thin and keep
       things light and simple.

       Glad your still around Animal and hoping you heal up quick as
       you can. Just take it 1 day at a time mate

       Happy to see you around mate.  TBH I know a few people who
       Suffer from anxiety  and social media seems to cause them all
       kinds of problems, I wounder why they even go near it sometimes.
