The Olympic Games for people with depression and anxiety.

With all this hoo har about Rio I thought I'd make a lighthearted post about another type of game...the game of life. In particular the challenges, or should I say "events", that people on this forum regularly compete in.

1) Bedsheet wrestling: Consists of entrants struggling to sleep at night locked in a guruling battle with doonahs and bedsheets. Points awarded according to how knotted your sheets are in the morning. Sorry peeps but I'm a WR holder in this event!

2) 1 meter crawl: The second event of the BB Olympics. Entrants must summon the motivation and strenght to get out of bed and face another day. Cautioned if you can't 'Rise and Shine' but not disqualified.

3) The 16hr race: One of the games hardest events. Includes remaining focused on getting through the day....doing what you have to do in order to keep going forward. This is not a strictly solo event...receiving outside support is not only encouraged but increases the entrants prospect for medal contention.

4) The last hurdle: Entrants must successfully feed themselves, despite levels of appetite, wash away the days woes and stresses and get ready to face heat 2 the following day. All entrants that progress to the next day's events are considered champions and true athletes.

Gold medals to everyone on here 😉

Thank you for this post! It made me laugh. Humour is sometimes the best medicine after all. I feel that I would place on the 1 metre crawl- at least a silver medal. At least. And I've also been training for the 16 metre race too. I like the bonus points for asking for help in that race.

Aha that's brilliant. A real tetrathlon right there.

Yay! I'm out of bed. My daily training for the 1 metre crawl event (my specialty). Improved today. Took me almost an hour to get out of bed yesterday. About 45 minutes today so 15 min less😉
