Hi all,
Just having a bit of a rough week or 2 and feeling a wee bit lonely. Just wondering if anybody wants to chat. Can be about anything (except politics) just need to get out of my own head. Can't really seem to keep friends. Think I'm just a wee bit boring or too needy. Or all 3.
Would love to chat to anybody

Hi @Stuart9726!!
This is such a beautiful and honest bid for connection. I really hope you get to chat to some of our lovely forums folk tonight.
I am finishing up now, but will be back tomorrow, so please feel free to tag me in anything you'd like to yap about.
I am curious to know about your hobbies - what do they look like at the moment? 🤩

Thank you @AuntGlow .
Hobbies for me at the moment include a wee bit of gaming and gardening. I love my veggie patch and Roses.
I also love nice grass, mine needs a bit of work at the moment though as have let it go, but I really do like the fine turf stuff.

That's good. I went to work as usual, tried to avoid everybody, the more people I see at the moment, the worse it makes my anxiety and twitches. It was bloody hot today also, topped out at like 33 or something with 90% humidity. Yucky.
What about yourself?

@Stuart9726 oh you’re a bit of a gamer? Neat - what console, and what’re you currently playing?

Hey @SleeplessRaven , I have a PS5, but prefer playing on my desktop if I'm honest. Im going through a phase of management style Sims at the moment to be honest. Putting in some time with Satisfactory, love the complexity of it. What about yourself

@Stuart9726 ugh not the heat, I hate the humidity. Today was cool here, sunny but there was a lovely breeze today. But the heat is coming and it's given us a taste of what summer is going to be like. Well done for going to work, can understand avoiding everyone especially if it's making your anxiety worse.
Today I took my dog for a walk, came home and had something to eat then had a lay down. Went to the shops later on and then did a bit of my puzzle.
Have you got plans for tomorrow?

Hey @MissGremlin yeah, I actually messaged in sick for tomorrow. Just need a bit of a reset day — things have been pretty full-on lately. I’ve got my psychologist appointment at 3pm, then I’ll probably just take it easy after that
Sounds like you had a nice, steady day today though. Walking the dog and doing a puzzle sounds like a good way to unwind. What kind of dog do you have? I reckon I’d get about ten pieces into a puzzle before losing patience.
You got much planned for tomorrow?
