So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

Good Morning @utopia 🙂
We sound a bit like twins, but then again I think there may be whole towns of us here on the forums!
Sending you balance, a time schedule, company and hoping that will be interesting and work a bit like a jump start 😄

Aw - that sounds so hard @utopia
I think about TV and what it says about drinking and smoking etc - and I never thought about what it's like for a person who has problems with those things
But when I smoked - yes - I found that if I saw someone smoke in a movie I would light up - and also - the ads telling us how bad smoking is did the same
The world is a trap for people just trying to be "normal" again - when their normal is a long way behind
All the best Utopia
