Let`s Talk -- how was you day today !!

My day was a shocker - I'm nackered (totally exhausted).

In fact each day has been like that for the past week.

I go out of my way (& unpaid overtime) to do more & more.

Then the next day, even more is expected of me - just because I barely managed it, last time.

Burning out I think, really need a holiday...

My back pain is horrendous todnight.

Hello @Shaz51 nice to be in touch again - I have been out of the loop for a while. My mum had another episode which lasted for several months. She is calming down now - the one good thing is that my husband and I are handling things a bit better. We have realised it is not possible to "fix" everything, and if we did there would just be more to fix in a month or so anyway. It sounds simple but those realisations have made a big difference to us. I hope things are going ok for you too - I read that you hadn't been feeling too well

Hi @Shaz51 & everyone.

I just got back from my monthly MH Support Group meeting.

It was all men (3 others).

That's the first time that any other man (apart from myself) has gone to it.

Adge

how was your meeting @Adge xx

Good for a sense of social connection @Shaz51 Thanks.

It seems that I am the only core group member, unfortunately.

No one else has come more than once.

They say they like it, but they don't come back.

Adge

Good on you @Adgefor sticking it out ...

I think the fear of rejection is as strong as the desire to belong and find one's tribe. There needs to be regular meetings if the fear is to be overcome ...

Thanks @Appleblossom Yes I think you are right.

Although my "tribe" seems to be on another planet, rather than this one...

Adge

I see you as part of my tribe ... @Adge we have enuff in common

... tho we are supposedly from different planets ... Venus/Mars and all that ...

All people have similarities and differences .. its so sad that modern life has fragmented socially ... leading to so much loneliness ....
