And look at your cute little comments ........what is sims 2 ? I bet you will forget the gift you were given.....can you start up a small gratful poster for your bedroom starting with on the 26th December I was given a SIMS 2 ....
It's just an idea......

Hello @potato xx'![]()
I like that you describe the potato as firm and grounded, what a lovely decription. -- I agree @Zahlia, @PeppiPatty, @BlueBay
I think that is a good idea, keeping a diary , and writting and doing little things first
keep writting and talking to us your friends xx
you are not alone

Would the writing on this thread be easier if you
sit and read the messages for a few days.
Making friends is difficult.
I find it very easy to make friends but I don't follow up because I'm affected with medication and caring for my husband. So the people stop wanting to me my friend.

Hi @potato,
How are you today?
I'm hearing that you don't feel like you're moving in the direction you want to in life, that sounds really hard. I'm curious to hear more about what you want your life to look like?
Have you been able to start getting back into writing like you hoped to?
One thing to remember when setting goals for a new year is not to fall into the trap of seeing things in black and white - if you haven't taken the steps you aimed too, it's not all over and there is no need to be hard on yourself, you can just pick yourself up again and take another small step the next day. As @BlueBay said, be gentle with yourself.
The situation with your friends sounds tough, I'm sorry you've been feeling lonely. You've got friends here, @Zahlia, @BlueBay, @Former-Member, @PeppiPatty, @Shaz51 and myself are all keen to support you ![]()
Take care,
Shimmer
P.S. I am a fan of the Sims too, are you enjoying it? ![]()
