Reaching out... And giving support...

Reaching out... And giving support...

When life gets you down... The best thing you can do... Is reach out... And it's also good too have people who turn too you for support... Both as important as the other...

And whoever I've missed... Feel free to tag someone I've missed...

The real world and what we have around us... Is what will determine a bad day between a good... Problems we have in our real lives... Can only be solved in our real lives... And I've found... It's usually revolved around our relationships with others...

Re: Reaching out... And giving support...

@Bunniekins I'm always alone and always reaching out too people. which I end up resenting. Because in the process of reaching out too them. I kind of become like them. And loose myself and the direction I want to be heading. And they play on it and feed from it. And it becomes their meaning and purpose to life.

Re: Reaching out... And giving support...

@eudemonism Sorry eudemonism it has taken me so long to get back to you, It is tiring being around people that need you. It is exhausting. Do you have respite for yourself? I think it is very important to be able to have time to yourself to recoup. I am doing that today. My son has gone away with his father over night so I will be able to have a long hot shower and just relax infront of the computer and tv later on.

Just take care of yourself and dont let others drag you down. Go for a walk with your puppy and sit in the Autumn sunshine for awhile to regather yourself. Read a book or play a game onn the computer. Take good care of yourself. Talk soon green pea

Re: Reaching out... And giving support...

hello @eudemonism

saw your name pop up.....good to see that you are still finding support on here...

as you say....putting yourself first....others have to do that for themselves too...

hope that something catches your attention today...rewarding you with spontaneous inner warmth.

I was at the pool yesterday exercising..I noticed the gum trees swaying in the wind....reminding me that nature continues to breathe and grow around all of the struggles us humans at times have...

take care

Re: Reaching out... And giving support...

About 2 1/2 years ago I finally started to practise self care proactively. It was like a switch flipped and I was allowed to carve out a pleasant life for me. I had been putting others first for a long time. Maybe you will be able to take life positively into both hands soon.

I have had to "trust" the system more than I am comfortable with over the last 5 years.

Hearing you and hoping you are alright Eude

Re: Reaching out... And giving support...

@Bunniekins @Sophia1 @Appleblossom I'm feeling very disconnected and alone. When I'm bye myself I start thinking about making connections with people. But there's nothing there when I follow through with it. And I'm getting nothing in return. I've reached out thousands of times. And I get nobody reaching out to me in return. And yes, it is very draining. I try to make a break for it and take action to help myself and sure enough. I'm quickly brought down. And some of these people. 100% have their own best interests at heart. And they don't seem to see or notice that it is wrong and it is not helpful.

Re: Reaching out... And giving support...

People are toxic. People are unhelpful. Even medical professionals. They're there for the money. Spend enough time around someone. And you soon work out their ways are toxic. The messages I'm getting from my own mind. Portray a very negative picture.

I suppose I'm needing something else. Needing more than just what I've been doing. But there is nothing else unfortunately.

@eudemonism Hi eudemonism it is hard to feel different and alone. Don't give up keep trying and the right person (it only takes one in a group to be a friend) will come along. Have you tried various clubs @Whiteknight has just posted a thread about difficulties socializing so you are definately not alone (the thread is definately worth a look at). Just remember that we are always here and really like you eudemonism for the nice and friendly person that you are 🙂
