Something’s not right

Dark place

Dark place

I feel dead inside and I don’t know how much strength I have left. It’s a constant battle 😕

Oh wow @Gazza75 is that a cross stitch? They look like they will be gorgeous brigs and schooners.

I make model boats, I love the old sailing boats

@Shaz51, it's going to be a ship.

Hi @Jacques, there's a few of us here that diamond paint, I am still new to it. Cutiepiektty has done it for a few years. This one is using round drills which is easier going than square ones. Check out Craft Corner for some others.. You might have to do the Cher thing and turn back time.

How are you today @Former-Member ? 🙂

I'm not really looking forward to this week as I've a lot of travel to do tue/wed for work, not used to it any more.

Hi @Gazza75

sorry for the late reply. How did your business travel go? I remember how hard it was towards the end of my career, and I don't think I could go back to it. My travel radius is around 40km, I haven't ventured much further in a long time.

I'm pretty low today, but had some nice times during the week too. I'm isolating too much, but I don't know how to break that cycle. Well to be honest, I'm isolating, full stop. I'm always told how important it is to connect to other people, but I don't see the point. I've been hurt too much, especially since I became ill. And now I've pretty much blocked out who else I still had contact with, so I'll get some raised eye brows when I see my therapist again. I'll try to do something social this week...

Take care

Hi Aeiou

I am in a dark place myself today, recently triggered by something work related. But I know I have improved from dark mental episodes and I hope you will improve too.

Hi @Former-Member ,

It's nice to hear from you 🙂

The work travel was alright, just tiring on the train and getting up early and then a late home time. I have another travel day wednesday and more coming up the next few months. Thats the way it is and I just have to do it.

I'm glad you had some nice times through the week. I've been feeling a bit low and down myself. I'm also isolating, but, truth be told I don't think thats anything new to Me. I find it hard to be social, juggling work and getting out to my farm fairly frequently.

I wouldn't worry about your therapist too much, think we have to do what we can to get through and survive. Its farily easy to be critical of others when you don't really know what they are enduring or going through.

What kind of things do you like to do socially? Have a nice day 🙂
