Not sure it can, mate. Had I been 20, or 30, or 40, it might have become part of my personal patina. I'm 60 next month, so to borrow your guitar analogy, I'm like one of Pete Townshend's Rickenbackers.

I don't think anyone does, in fairness

I can't just go on, like a hamster on a wheel.

How do you mend a broken heart? 😔

650

As much as it can. It's still one and a half times the size of the other one, but what can I expect with all the metalworks in it?

000

I'm not angry, believe it or not. Just desperately, desperately sad.

330

Nah. She was a complete one off. No chance.

310

Ah, the "you don't know what's around the corner" thing. Even my psychiatrist says that's cobblers. 😔

"cover me back" was actually "come back". Even predictive text wants to fuck me up now.

210

I'll be dead by 80. I'm actually not 60 yet (32 days to go), but it's a bit more difficult to cover me back from someone pulling the rug from under me now than it was at 40 or whatever

How do you ever meet a person again, at 60, who could ever match up to every single criteria you had in mind for perfection, who abandons you?

Her husband was a mate of Jimmy Savile. So, yeah.

020

Liz Fucking Truss? Dearie me.

000

I really haven't, mate. Don't worry, I'm being looked after for the next few days

130

Well, personally, I'm fighting hour by hour not to end my sorry existence. Sorry to bring the mood down a little, but fuck me, I wish I was dead.

200

Same here with trans rights, I never post on them, apart from the odd well-meaning repost as an ally. Still enda up with me on every "transphobe" blocking list imaginable.

Effective countermeasure to the USAF's entire fleet of Rockwell B-1 Lancers

All that money the US spent on developing a high payload, nuclear capable, supersonic strategic bomber, only to see its deterrent effect usurped by four random blokes in white vans

So much for the "deterrent effect"

Four weeks ago, today youtu.be/OyMaAGVb2Jw?...

000

Me: I'm absolutely heartbroken... Distraught... This has utterly devastated me, I feel like there's no future now, I just want to go to sleep and not wake up again Therapist: why not try out a new hobby? fFS

240

I know mate, I've been there twice... One of them have me the single worst piece of "help" I've ever heard... But I'm still here

010

One person could fix 95% of my pain with three words. "Let's try again". She won't.

100

I'm taking as much help as I can get. It's not doing me much good so far, in truth. It seems I've even more fucked than I realised.

120

It's amazing just how quickly your life can turn around for the worse. Don't be me.

Today, I visited Hayes Grove Priory, in the depths of utter despair, sobbing in front of a consultant psychiatrist over how my life and my future have gone up in smoke, and had a trip to Boots to buy Sertraline and Diazepam, to nurse me through the days, and looking forward to inpatient treatment.

Four weeks ago today, I was bouncing around like Tigger, on the train to Liverpool, via a trip to Boots for Slidenafil, looking forward to a beautiful, sensual weekend, and booking a nice romantic break in Madeira for the first week in October.

It will help with his fundraising, I have absolutely no doubt. No reason not to arrest him though.

050

Dexter Crisp @dextercrisp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I really do. Every hour, every day. Every hour, I find a reason not to. One day, I'll run out of reasons. Fuck me, I'm Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.

Dexter Crisp @dextercrisp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Agreed. If I still had the pills the police took away from me a couple of weeks ago, I'd prefer that to self-immolation. Maybe I'll find a different, yet equally efficient method

Dexter Crisp @dextercrisp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I'd prefer to think of it as an act of class warfare.
