Re: Newbie

Thanks shaz yes i also go for a run outside but havent felt up to it lately with the dreadful weather and my state of mind.  Hope to start running again soon, i really need it.  Love to get exercise! I was running with park runs on saturday mornings but that stopped cos of covid.  I do enjoy being with people, so sick of doing thjngs by myself.  Friends have left me in the past and i dont know why, maybe im not interesting enough or something, and my self esteem has suffered cos of this. Wish i could find a runnning buddy. Feel free to keep in touch with me, id appreciate it.

Re: Newbie

Hello  @WT28 , @Musiclover @Friendforall 

 

There are so many beautiful souls here to talk to and relate to 

 

I am a carer of my adult son with complex mental illness, although I have my demons and dark days so find being here helps. I look forward to getting to know you all Smiley Happy

Re: Newbie

Hey @Musiclover @Anastasia @Friendforall ,

 

In the past, I used to envy people with partners and family because I thought I was missing out.  I thought it would be the answer to my isolation and loneliness.

 

Believe it or not, I'm sort of glad I never got into a real relationship nor had children. I'm finding life so much more fulfilling being able to help others and hang out with who I want without feeling guilty. 

I live on my own and tend to enjoy it at the end of the day. I don't want to grow into some selfish old hag, so yes, I love reaching out to people here and in other places. If I wasnt in lockdown, I'd make sure I dedicate my Fridays to dinners and catch-ups.

 

Whether you are single or not, contentment comes from within. I come to the conclusion that the grass may seem greener on the other side, but by the time you get to the other side, it's no longer as green as you first thought. I've learnt to cherish every moment whether with other people or without. 

But definitely @Musiclover and others, it would be my joy to hang out with you all! I'd love to have an outdoor buddy and a beach buddy. Boy do I love the beach! Oh, and a gelato buddy.

 

Catch you later!

I forgot to mention...

 @Anastasia , my hat goes off to you. ANYBODY who is a carer should be held in high regard. Your son is so lucky to have you.
