Hi @WhatThe and @Jimm_Scope , not been around for a few days . I've been out of sorts with my stomach issues. Thank you for your kindness 🙏. Please take care of yourselves. Always appreciate your support.

Just getting so down with things lately. I'm on antidepressants. I used to go to a craft place once a month can't now as ex friend there who was horrible to me. When I posted it on Facebook my page someone who I know a bit who also knows her said I shouldn't post things personal on my own page. So I deleted it. Got no friends. Starting something next week. Very worried about the UC migration this year. Still not heard back from esa review from January. Really struggling, not just physical health but mental. This labour government makes it worse wondering what will happen in the budget.

So so sorry to hear how things are for you @Andi66 . My heart goes out to you during all this stress you are encountering . Sorry to hear about the craft class issues too . Hope whatever you are starting next week is a nice thing for you . Everything seems to be a waiting issue and it's not a nice thing to deal with. I hope you hear something soon . Keep plodding on you got this 👍. Take care 🙂

I was just curious if anyone with Autism gets easily upset?

Kali85

hiya, yes I get upset very easily but I had always put it down to being a highly sensitive person, as I have gotten older I have learned to try and hide fact that I am upset infront of people and once I am alone I have a good cry, unfortunately it doesn’t always work as alot of the time my emotions just burst out. I tend to blame myself majority of the time as I know I am ridiculously sensitive

Strawberry1

Thank you for the information @Kali85 . It very interesting to know. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you again 💓.

Hoping @Kali85 , @WhatThe and @Andi66 are reasonable 🙏.

hiya @Strawberry1 hope you’re doing ok ❤️ I been really low in mood, I hate all the awful things going on in the world, it’s all greed and corruption! Our governments are supposed to serve us, yet they are constantly gaslighting us! Taxing us into an oblivion! I am scared for the future! I just want everything to be fair and every human to be equal! It’s exhausting! Wish I could shut my brain off and stop thinking about everything and stop worrying all the time! Be able to just get on with things, to just live without overthinking and worrying about every last detail. Need to completely avoid the news altogether

WhatThe

Hello Strawberry, I'm reasonable most of the time I think haha! Not bad thanks despite feeling dazed when I got in after buses, shops and more buses today!

Last week I kept leaving things behind, at home and in shops. Had a little break from the forum and hope you are fine yourself 🍓

Hi @WhatThe , I can completely understand how things like that can disorient people . I get into a flap very easily. I hope everything got sorted out in the end for you . A break is a good idea sometimes especially if we are needing one . Look after yourself. Sending kind blessings to you 🙏. Take care 🙂

Hi @Kali85 , the news is very worrying I worry about all topics the news brings up . A lot of people are not happy with this new government. It make me wonder which party would be on the side of the people. Your not on your own in regards to worrying I worry all the time . I don't know if your the same but I just can't help but worry . My answer to your post doesn't seem very good as I sit here writing back to you . I wish I was better at putting things into writing. I have always found you so kind and caring 💕 and I believe you deserve a much better answer than this to your post . I really do care about people who are in the same categories because they are so very important people. All I will say is your a real gem 💎. I wish I could take away your worrying 😟. Please take care of yourself and I hope you have a reasonable evening 💜. Sending kind blessings.

WhatThe

That's kind. It's embarrassing at times because I get so stressed but I have to go out. Like Kali says, life feels very intense right now.

Gonna cheer myself up with EastEnders now 😄 see you later

Strawberry1

I agree life does feel intense @WhatThe i agree with both you and @Kali85 . Hope you enjoyed Eastenders . Take care 🙂

Kali85

thank you @Strawberry1 you always say the kindest things, I really appreciate you ❤️ some times just a few kind words can have such a positive impact on a person’s life, so thank you. I literally worry about worrying I am terrible for overthinking and over worrying I just wish I could stop!
I also feel like I am not saying things right or saying enough, feels like I cannot articulate my thoughts and feelings correctly, like I am unable to express my true feelings, I always worry that I don’t say the right things with people too. Kindest wishes to all ❤️

Strawberry1

Your welcome @Kali85 . I sound like you I overthink and worry alot of the time too . You come across absolutely fine to me . It never easy to know what to say in conversations . I wish I was better at putting myself across while I'm posting this . I think you come across as a very caring person with a big heart ❤️. Your doing absolutely fine 🙂. Take care of yourself.

Kali85

Right back at you @Strawberry1 you come across fine to me too, you always say the right things to me as you are a kind person ❤️ kind words are never spoken wrong in my eyes, we could all do with abit more kindness in this awful world

Bless you @Kali85 , your a real gem 💎 ✨️ 💖. Rest as well as you can tonight. Chat again soon.
