I need to do what I know I can do. I’ve looked into going to the local senior center and I haven’t been to my support group in months. I need to socialize. I’m around people at work and talk to them and that’s fine. I see my sisters once a week or on holidays and we occasionally go out to dinner and that’s fine.
I get out almost every day but that’s usually just running a never ending stream of errands though I do eat dinner out once or twice a week. But I’m not doing enough. And I know I am capable of doing more. So it’s time to stop fooling around and tooling around the house and join a book club or maybe go to church or join a walking club.
I don’t go anywhere other than work and only see people for maybe a few minutes a day, I guess its a rut, I never go out and maybe 3 or 4 times a year have company, I think if I won a lottery I would never leave the house
Sometimes surviving a day is a major achievement. You are such a good-hearted person and the world is cruel…just take baby steps cuz I wouldn’t want you to get depressed or rejected cuz the world is full of assholes
I totally get what you’re saying @77nick77. Sometimes I wish I knew someone close by to just hang out with casually, I get a little claustrophobic just hanging out at the house with my girlfriend. Most of the time it’s just the two of us and our cat. Sometimes we just get on each other’s nerves and argue til the cows come home, over dumb trivial ■■■■.
I find this is happening to my bf and I because I don’t socialize with enough other non-bf people offline, really. I only ever see him all day, so I gripe at him and get mad over trivial ■■■■ that means nothing to either of us. It’s like my brain WANTS me to hate him.
I’m happy we’re friends
