Something’s not right

Alone and struggling

Alone and struggling

i am struggling that i have no one to turn to when i need help, when i just want to go out, when i want to discuss a shared interest even something as simple as watching a tv show we both like and gossiping about it.

it sounds childish as i write this but everything i do is by myself. i live alone, have no friends, i work by myself due to the nature of my job and it being 1:1 supports.

i feel like alot of my friends on the forums are also not here either which is probably a good thing but it all feels different.

i guess im just having a day where im missing everyone who is important to me

Re: Alone and struggling

@outlander i know that feeling all too well.

Are you able to do something to distract yourself? I'm happy to chat about anything if it helps you.

Re: Alone and struggling

@outlander I'm glad you have made yourself a cup of tea and you made it out of bed so that's great, well done. l remember watching the biggest loser when it first came out. We need some rain here, it's still so hot. Glad you have some cooler weather though. I'm watching True blood at the moment and doing some colouring to keep myself distracted.

Re: Alone and struggling

i dont think ive seen true blood yet @Former-Member i might have to put it on the list to watch.
i do tend to gravitate towards real life more then fictional but i have been known to like more vampirish type things too.

Re: Alone and struggling

@outlander I've watched it a few times now. I just finished watching Buffy and Angel. I stick to shows and movies that I've seen before, usually things I grew up watching. It's good because I can colour but have the show on and know that I'm not missing it cos I know what happens.

Re: Alone and struggling

@outlander big bang theory is always good to watch, I've watched mom aswell. And Disney movies are always fun to watch.
