Hi all,
Stepping out to address the challenges of my MDD with pre-menstrual disphoria, amidst partner's Scz, 2 kids and high levels of anxiety, an d a kid with complex health issues.
I'm an outdoors person.
I can sew, crochet, knit, paint, build, garden, weave, embroider, darn and mend.
I haven't officially worked in the last 10 years.

Welcome to the forums @Wowzers and thank you for the tag @tyme
You appear to have many talents which are also good self care distractions.
What do you do outdoors? I love summer and enjoy water activities.
I am sure you will meet lots of friendly people here.
😊

Outdoors is just where I'm happiest, maybe not my skin lol, but at peace. Digging in the garden, watering, weeding... playing with the kids, when I'm up for playing.
Watching birds - favourite; oh and insects, I love finding bugs to look at and marvel at.
Indoors I'm confronted with my clutter and housework not done... again.
