Thank you @Chloe-Scope but I just feel like I am just part of the furniture, with everything happening around me but not being included because of my drastically reduced mobility and pains. No easy answer on the horizon that I can see.
Hi @AlisonNetty, sorry to hear you also are feeling unwanted at the moment, is there anything we can do to help?
It's ok thanks.. I just know how feeling unwanted feel likes... I've felt like that the whole of my life... but hey I'm still here. Thank you for caring enough to ask about me...

Sad. I didn’t get the job. So I’m on a break from job hunting until the summer or fall. My partner recommended I go to see a therapist for mental health issues.
Sorry to hear that. I am recovering from agorophobia so I know what that feels like. If you need a chat please send me a message or ask the scope team.

I know how you feel but it’s a lot to do with the company you keep or circumstances around you. I find myself cutting off from those around me who refuse to understand my conditions and affect me negatively. So I’m trying to be around those who appreciate me and understand me but the pickings are slim lol. If you want to talk about it message me or the team at scope. Take care x

I’m feeling happy tonight. I went for another job interview today. I felt confident as I walked into the interview room and I was interviewed by two people who work there. Still waiting to hear back from them. They asked me all the usual questions. Wish me luck. I have one more interview at the end of this week too.

@Chloe_Scope Thank you. I'm feeling better now. I was in a weird mood yesterday. Grumpy and feeling like crying. I seem to have climbed out of that pit now though. How are you?
I know how that feels. So you need to find a way to live. Look at what you achieve each day and pat yourself on the back. I saw online a pic that said in a list I woke up I’m breathing I got out of bed I made the bed I had a shower I got dressed I had breakfast and so on each one is an achievement if you want more add in things you would like to that are achievable and a giving yourself a little challenge like
I listened to relaxation music for 15 minutes, I went for a short walk in the park by myself of with a friend. I sorted out 5 pieces of mail. I baked biscuits with my family.
The things you enjoy.
Like myself if being in need of company of others to enrich your life then look at what’s available where you are and write it down on the calendar. I will call them on this date etc Scope is a safe place to discuss topics like this and exchange helpful ideas, This too shall pass.
If you are really struggling try calling the Samaritans x

Right now I’m happy. My childhood friend sent me a letter today and I had a lovely time at a local park with some mom friends today. We had lunch out doors.

Hope everyone's doing okay. There seem to have been some low moods over the weekend. Please let us know if you need any support or anything @rtfs35, @TerriS64, @AlisonNetty and @RainbowJo.
im ok. pulled my back a bit this morning so in a bit of pain. but i remind myself 2 weeks ago i couldnt even get out of bed and they thought id fractured my spine in 3 places. so i might be in pain but im up and walking a few steps. my sister popped in too for a bit so that helped.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I have osteoarthritis in both knees & right thumb & I have back pain, which I've had for years. Recently found out about the osteoarthritis in my left knee & thumb. I'm a cleaner, but have been struggling with it for about a year. I've been signed off sick from 7th May & I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so see what she's got to say, if she's going to sign me off for longer. I've been stressed for 5 years last month. I split with my husband because he cheated then there was trouble with my son, his daughter & his now ex then it was work then it was work & money. I haven't had a break in the 5 years. I am now too tired to carry on & looking for a big black hole to fall in. I've started counselling last Friday for the 7th time since 2014. I've put a claim in for universal credit which I will start to get on 6th July, fingers crossed. So the last few weeks I've been sorting that out which has caused more stress & last week I started getting a couple anxiety attacks, which is very new to me. It just feels like I'm in limbo & don't know what to do, only that I want to give up my cleaning job 😔
Well I’m going for a colonoscopy tomorrow so I’m being driven to distraction with the prep for this procedure and all the trips to the loo! Just thinking it will all be over tomorrow and I can get back to normality! I’m very anxious about going anywhere outside my comfort zone but I’m getting help with the travelling. I’m very anxious about the procedure but it’s my choice at end of the day. I would rather know if I’m okay or not. I’m just looking forward to getting some sleep at some point even if it’s afterwards. Forgetting the sedation part oops maybe I will need longer to wake up lol. Fingers crossed for me folks please! X
I'm feeling toasty after a hot 🛀! I was very cold as I got locked out house today and I had no money on me to do anything but wait I was tired after work and hungry and then miserable. But now I'm toasty 😁

I got out of bed
I made the bed
I had a shower
I got dressed

if you want more add in things you would like to that are achievable and a giving yourself a little challenge like
I listened to relaxation music for 15 minutes,
I went for a short walk in the park by myself of with a friend.
