Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Shaz51 @Former-Member @eth @frog @Maggie

New Social connections (necessary/ often inadequate) is a major goal need of mine.

1) Friday I went to a new (unknown) Yoga class - since my Yoga centre is closing, & I need to find new Yoga places/ Classes.

2) Saturday I did a Zoom meeting discussion - about how people Communicate/ Communication (strangers/ hadn't met before).

2) Sunday (today) I went to a local Community Church (never been there before) - to try to make some new social connections, in my local area (it's just around the corner).

They do Food Hampers also - Food Ministry, I think they call it.

They put me down on list - to maybe get a Food Hamper, as I'm currently unemployed (lost my job), & things are tough at the moment.

They also prayed for me, for healing etc - as I'm going into hospital (in 1 & 1/2 weeks) for my 5th Surgery (hopefully last).

Very kind of them I thought - comforting at least.

I like that @Adge .👍👍

Back for more surgery. Is this the stitches that were left ? I hope it works this time.

That’s really nice of your local church. I think many are feeling the tough times now. So much change. Take care @Adge

.

Thanks @Maggie I try to be Inspiring or Positive - although it doesn't always come across that way (as that).

Yes it's the stitches (you are observant) - although it's a bit more major than it sounds.

Surgeon has actually goto open me back up - to get at them (down inside).

Hey @Adge you are doing really well on the social connections front. I find it hard to put myself in new situations and that would challenge me.

Thanks @frog This is Rare for me, takes incredible effort.

Can only do such things in short Spurts - then collapse (exhausted) this afternoon.

It's the Follow-up (continuing), that I often Fall-down on.

way to go my friend for the weekend @Adge

Hello @Teej , @WIP , @Maggie , @frog

Hi @Shaz51
I hope you've had a good weekend!

What a fantastic effort @Adge to increase your social network.

I have zero friends and unable to work currently, so my social interactions are extremely limited. It's here on this website that I get to engage with ppl, it's been very helpful. I'm in Victoria, so we are in complete lockdown, however you've given me some ideas with what you've been up to, for when we are allowed 'out' again. That's if my depression/anxiety doesn't continue to keep me from leaving the house.

thinking of you my friend @WIP , one step at a time

Thank you for your thoughts @Shaz51

That's very kind of you.

@WIPWell my best wishes & hopes will go with you (with your efforts).

Re: friendships & social supports (interactions) - I sound in similar situation to you.

Fatigue, trauma triggers & recent heightened anxiety - have kept me from getting out virtually anywhere (except essential grocery shopping).

O social interactions, on any given day - no-one to phone for a social call.
