looks like there is 2 walking groups and one of them is mostly for older people, the other one looks a lot more exciting so i booked 2 events and a couple of maybes & its good because the times and lengths are really good. the increased activity seems to be really helping me mentally although I’ve been forgetting meds a bit more lately.
I really enjoyed kayaking when i was camping so I’m thinking about fitting a roof rack on my car and strapping one on, the only thing i worry about is capsizing & getting on and off bc i scratched my leg a bit getting out.

Noooo. Don’t forget your meds!

I’m glad you’re getting yourself out there. That’s really good for your mental health.
In re forgetting your meds - there are apps you can download on your phone to remind you to take them. I use one. If I’m away from home, I simply snooze, or reschedule, my alarm. After I take the med it’s reminding me of, I mark it taken. That way, I always know if I’ve taken it or not.

Good for you, that’s a huge step!
I should do something like that! I’m full of excuses though.

Yeah great idea. It’s also good to exercise and socially it’s a nice way to meet people. Good on you as we would say!

@shortcircuit Well done on joining a walking group. I was in a walking group via my then mental health centre for a few years. Unfortunately it got reduced to being a 30 minute walk around town.
Now my restricted mobility means I can’t join such a group. When more mobile I considered joining a few groups, but always backed out of doing so because I needed to know I’d stay in close contact with the other walkers. I was scared stiff of getting separated from the other walkers, and getting lost.
I hope i can keep up with the other walkers. sometimes others walk too fast
