    @Grumpy1314 it is always good to attend to places. I do at least I see people and once finish I am alone again but doing this bits and pieces help me to feel useful but it is hard as sometimes I don't want to leave my bed. There should be a community centre closed from where you live.. it is not easy.. but when my mind is just doing something I don't think about my problems.. it helps a bit . I hope you will feel a bit better if not today maybe tomorrow. In the community centres there are activities etc. I mean an excuse to leave home... Even sit down in a cafe and watch people helps me. I am on my own as well.. I enjoy my solitude sometimes. Getting old also made me grumpier. I use to.enjoy people. Now it gets harder to interact with them. But I try.. I want my old self back. Hopefully one day. It will be a bit different but if I could get some of my health issues better.....

    I understand I have bpd and awaiting adhd test my brain the same it's torture have conversations with people who aren't there argue with myself play out situations that haven't happened begged doctor for sedatives to cut off said no seen physicists god she made me worse so much worse it's hard you feel so scared vunerable really overwhelmed for it to go away all the feelings and constant thinking I really feel your frustration and anxiety I haven't got time for people I'm constantly talking in my head I thought everyone did I'm sending you love and hope

    @grumpy1314 i am sorry… Yes it is harder for some people to be in groups.. my anxiety at times does not let me. and i try not to speak a lot .. it is very hard. i am taking it slowly even thought i should not. i want my old life back. when i was working etc.. i do not want to think about the system. i feel like rushing to it but if i rush i will crash. so i guess i i will need to do it step by step. mental health team only works on medication. and in my case medication is not working. anyway i hope you can feel a bit better tomorrow.. but i understand. it is a torture every day. i always wait until bed. and hope for a better day tomorrow. it is harder and harder to feel safe in the jungle out there. but i still feel there is some hope. that is what keeps me alive. the hope things will improve.

    I managed to have a good day despite suffering with fatigue.

    my mood and mental state fluctuates a lot. i am feeling rather hopeless right now. i want to get better but i do not feel it will happen. i am very down because even though i blame my last job for my back problems etc…. and i could not do that job ever again. i am too traumatized to get back to work. and my health is downhill. soon time to go to bed.. but dreading for another day tomorrow…. the place i go on thursdays is on holidays so i will probably try to go out but i dont like public transport. i will try to go when it is not too busy and back as well before rush hour .. i am meaning to spend a few hours outside. all is if it is a good weather i mean no rain is enough for me. i will see.. but maybe tomorrow i will feel awful.. i will see.. i hope i will be able to sleep. but i was ok a couple of hours ago and now i feel rather down.. i hate this feeling that fluctuates so much. anyway. maybe a couple of films will cheer me up a bit…. good evening, good night and til tomorrow.. i think is enough with technology for today….

    @Schildpad it's very difficult im struggling myself again, my son who has Autism and Neurodivergent's has started an apprenticeship, which I'm really pleased about. But I thought I'd done all the right thing's informing his UC lcw talking to his job centre advisor but now ive found out I need to inform my UC as well. So im panicking again about benefits.

    Im like you wanting to watch something on tv to get some calm. Im up until 3 4am every night then up at 8.30am for my carer. I watch American seasons, ive watched all the vampire diaries and the origins. Im currently watching Chicago fire, med and pd as well as the 911 seasons and reacher. I can't switch my brain off otherwise.

    @Elvisdog i would not worry too much about it. you only have to do and inform them but you can not control the outcome so i hope it will be ok. i am scared about everything as well.. if you report a change something might happen but maybe not much….

    i tend to go to bed before 12 … and up before 7…… i sleep so so .. but i feel going to bed at 4 to wake up at 8.30 seems too little sleep…. it wil be ok with the benefits…

    @Schildpad thank you. It's like you say it's not enough sleep, im being tested for ADHD, only because my family think I have it, im not sure, I can't switch off or get myself in a calm mood because everything changes with the flip of a coin. I think im ok and managing then I don't know if I'm coming or going, on top of dealing with the diagnoses I have, we have to continue with trying to deal with all the other upheaval happening. Oh well time for me to watch Chicago med. I hope you get a good night rest.

    Oh it was so sad seeing her yesterday wasn't it. My heart was breaking for her. They were definitely soul mates and she must be so lost without him. 😔💔

    morning all. i feel very anxious… and down.. but i am doing some spring cleaning. throwing stuff little by little. but i can not stop thinking and i am scared. But i hope if i declutter a bit maybe it will improve my mental health… But now i feel like well another day. awful. i hope it will ease… i do not think i will go out as the weather looks bad. it will rain soon.

    i dont want to rush up myself on decluttering. but so far i did another bit today.little by little. but i feel i have to throw away things even if i feel a bit attach to it ..

    i was given books cassette players etc.. i have so much stuff accumulated over decades… i need to declutter and organize. but this is not an easy task.

    even if the sun is kinda popping out i will stay at home i have no energy really. every day is the same and prospects of improvement are slim and unlikely. anyway i hope it will get a bit better.

    at least you have managed to get a bit done

    i guess this is going to take a bit.. i dont want to throw away music and stuff. but i manage to do a bit. and tomorrow maybe i will do a bit more… once the boxes and other stuff are out i start will start with the drawers and wardrobe…. getting rid off stuff if it is not good enough etc…that will be hard as it has some attachment as it was given or gifted by people or friends..

    weather is really bad. it is raining. and this weather makes me even more depressed… anyway. i think i will stop today sorting stuff and tomorrow maybe i will do a little bit more.
