Hello 👋

louisa694Senior Contributor

Hello 👋

Firstly I wanted to drop in and say hello 👋

I’m struggling with living my life at the moment.
I’m very quiet person and I don’t really talk to people. I either don’t know what to say because I’m soo dumb or I just don’t feel like talking. I can come across being rude but I don’t mean to.
I feel very lonely. I only have a few friends but that’s it.
I’m sick of being a shy person. I just want to have confidence but I have none.

The lack of confidence is making me miserable.
I feel soo grumpy and I never smile because I don’t like who I am as a person.

Re: Hello 👋

That’s alright @outlander if it’s double time.

I didn’t get up to much, just had a relaxing weekend. It was cold yesterday outside, we had the fire on in the house which was nice and today the weather wasn’t too bad. No sunshine though.

Sometimes it's good to keep busy. It's better than sitting at home doing nothing which is sometimes what I do and it's no good because I start overthinking things and that's when anxiety, depression and stress come into play.

My day yesterday was good. I sat outside in the sunshine for most of the day. It was lovely and I watered the garden. Today I haven't been up to much because of the weather but I have been doing some house cleaning.

I've had 6 weeks off work due to being unwell and I go back to work this Friday. Fingers crossed it all goes well for me.

Re: Hello 👋

yes i find keeping busy is good too @louisa694 it helps keep that anxiety under control abit.

sounds like youve had quite a productive day today though. sometimes the weather gives us that opportunity to catch up on some stuff inside too hey.

i hope work goes well for you on friday. can i ask what you do for work?

Re: Hello 👋

@outlander

Yes I agree and I'm hoping going back to work will help keep my mind distracted from thinking too much.

Yeah that's absolutely true. Do indoor chores on rainy days.

I work in a bakery serving customers. I'm also a massage therapist.

In response to: Re: Hello 👋

Re: Hello 👋
