I've only just realized that I've been suffering from seperation anxiety lonliness and dependant personality disorder ... now I've self diagnosed and realized the problem... hopefully i can find solutions... it's like i forced these things upon myself through guilt... and self hatred... but now I'm realizing it's not healthy at all...

I am working extra days over the next 4 weeks so that should help me get back on track financially as well @eudemonism Struggling with everything around us takes it's toll but work for me is keeping me busy and that is a good thing. Hope you can get some work and a little relief from it as well.
@Appleblossom Love hearing about your volunteering at the zoo

Hello @eudemonism
Found you over here...
Thanks for the tag...
Loving the sound of your hotpot...
I use a slow cooker and toss in whatever is available....some planning if using meet/poultry..
yummy though
as you say lots of vegetables...whatever in season...cost effective also..
can freeze as well..
socialising...friendships...are important...
more important though is being in the company of people who respect you and value you for who you are...
I have friends...I also do a lot on my own.....Being outside is a saving grace for me...
Nature is a good friend...
Does your community centre offer group activities....?
local noticeboards sometimes offer interests..music...watch local sports...
I always smile at people when out walking...often they stop especially with animals and a chat begins...
nice to be able to add a smile to a person's face...
Finding things that appeal to you ....these activities attract like minded people....
The library has free internet and speakers...another way to meet people...
Lovely to see that you are still communicating with others on the forums...
You might not feel that this is the case...You are actually growing within yourself....creating your own journey of relating to others...
Take care 💜💛💚🐾

@Sophia1 yea theres some interesting points youve raised; but i find it easier to keep to a few people and myself rather then be a social butterfly/community warrior...
I'm feeling good today, and that's probably part due to, being a long weekend...
Im planning on paying off my major debts, so i dont have the big weekly repayments coming out; and achieving other goals with the money... + get some savings going ... there's bills coming in everyweek, the regular expenses, costs of living, my habits, food and essentials... it's never ending... car costs ... it's hard to keep up... so yea! No more loans once I've paid my debts off... and more quality living /better lifestyle...
