Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

Just people in general @TAB Not pointing fingers at anyone on forums (that was not meant).

Even in self-help (support groups) - I've found myself supporting & listening to everyone else's issues.

Whilst no-one gave the time of day, to listen to mine.

In fact they often talked right over the top of me.

I ran a 12-Step support group, years ago...

oh gosh @Adge thats rough. I'm sorry

In response to: Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Thanks @TAB I kind of gave up on support groups, even though they are a good idea.

Because the support usually wasn't there.

Anyway, I'll try to get onto something more positive....

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

I did 12 step type thing years ago @Adge ok it was a precursor to that, it had some benefit, but as found out later there all sorts of people there for all sorts of reasons

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Good point @TAB I guess we all have different expectations (of groups etc), & different backgrounds.

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

and expectations and or motivations are not necessarily consistent even in an individual attending a group @Adge

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

As soon as people hear that I work as a Disability Carer @TAB They say (or expect) me to want to care for them (& listen to their problems).

That's in a Support Group - when I went there to get my own support (for me).

Ironically, I was actually trying very hard to get out of disability (carer) work at that time...

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

My neighbours turned their speakers back on @TAB They're ramping up for an all-night party.

I don't get any sleep, when that happens.

Determined (Carer's Forum) suggested that I need to start a mower up (& mow the lawn) at 7am tomorrow morning.

Except that I don't own a mower - just an electric Whipper Snipper (too quiet)....
