I’m not part of this group, but I make retro videos for fun and I figured a few Americans might enjoy a flashback- here’s what I made

British 70s kids, I made this one for you - maybe it’ll bring back some magical memories….

But I guess we made the decisions that seemed right at the time, that’s what I try to tell myself…

Here’s my tribute.

If I could turn back time....
I think 1983 would be a nice year to go back to.
8 years-old, not a care in the world.
I made a little tribute video with one of the best British songs of the 80s, imho....hugely underrated, but subjective of course.

Thanks a lot - yes, I've been told to half the dosage if I want to stop taking them, then a quarter for a week etc.

I need happiness right now, and I think a lot of the world does, too.
What I've made it cheesy and won't solve anything, but it might make you smile - or puke, could go either way.
One of my first records - l loved this tune then and I love it now.
I hope I've done it justice.

Second day - at one point during my work day, I just felt like bursting into tears, so I went to the couch, pulled the blanket over my head and just sobbed. Yes, I'm emotional with the divorce, but this was extreme.

I'm sorry to bother you, but made an #80s video about dinner parties.
I tried to make something smooth - just a bit of distraction from the bin fire of a world we live in right now.

No no, got the lot, but my retro videos have been on the backburner, although I have tried to make a few new ones. My wife hated them.

Thanks Shafiq, I'm going to see if I can ride it out, but if I get to week 3 and I'm still having doom and gloom thoughts, then I'll talk to the doctor. Today was really, really weird.

haha, it's a city bike, I'll go along the bike paths and take it nice and easy I think.

I really hope so, right now I'm struggling to see the light, but I hope there's something positive on the way, I really need just a glimmer.

Thank you so much - I'm actually off to Portugal in April to stay with friends, and I think it could just be the break I need.

Not really - but I will go for a long bike ride this weekend

05.03.2026 21:40 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

I did - in a wee small hours sadness moment.

Thank you so much - I’m in a weird place and I genuinely appreciate the friendship and support.

Thank you so much - I feel like I need the contact, be it online or in person. I also need to get used to being alone and settled in my own head, too.

These Cipralex tablets are messing with my head. I have to ride it out.
I feel so desperately lonely and worried about the future - I have a “Clash” of thoughts, should I stay or should I go - but maybe these are decisions not to make now. I feel like a shadow of my former self. Need to find James.

I can make an appointment but not until next week. Just so incredibly lonely

05.03.2026 19:04 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Yep, I tried Sertralin, now I'm on Cipralex.

I'm starting to feel like this will be me, too.
Honestly, I feel even worse - that total feeling of hopelessness, a sort of "draw the curtains and just stare at the wall" feeling. Yes, I'm shattered and grieving, but these tablets have taken me even further down.

Anti depressant tablets.....forget this, seriously.
The doctor said "You need to take them for at least 4 weeks, but during that time, you might have dark thoughts and feel incredibly low."
Yes, I do....and it's horrible. 4 weeks of this? I don't this so.
Trying to work and feeling destroyed.

The world is going to hell....so I've made a video about #1980s UK school packed lunches.

It's wrong to close our eyes to what's happening to the world right now, but maybe a bit of kitsch distraction is ok.

I just like practicing my video editing.

Hope you like it.
