Not caring. Socialising

Considering quitting the group I have been going to once a week.

I thought it would be nice to try and make some new friends but it has only enforced to me the reality that I don’t care either way.

I was planning not to go this week. This morning I got a text message from one of the other people that go explaining she couldn’t make it.

I realised I was not going to even tell anyone I was not going. At this point I messaged back told her I couldn’t make it and to please pass on the message to the other person. (As there are only 3 of us) I don’t have his number so he wouldn’t turn up alone.

Since I have not heard back. But I’m glad I have not heard back. Not sad. Because I don’t want anymore communication.

I’m wondering if anyone else feels this way.

Isolating is common with sz. I did it when I wasn’t functioning so well.

How are you doing these days.

I’m much better. Thank you for asking. I’m not even close to completely recovered, but I enjoy life. I think there is hope for everyone and I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. :slight_smile:

If I didn’t have my friends to live for I would kill myself.

I can understand why you wouldn’t go to the ‘group’ or whatever the ■■■■ it is. I hate those

today my doctor said I should do something productive… go jogging or go to a group called Up house. Apparently it’s a group of mentally ill people who come together and plan things such as volunteering and stuff.

I met some nice people working in a charity shop volunteering and had some good times. It was a lot better than doing nothing even if most mornings it was a Herculean effort. It also looks good on your CV if you are looking for work.

@sleepybug I enjoy the gym. Photography. But these are obviously solo activities…for me anyway.

I enjoy the feeling afterwards you get from a hard workout.

Im quitting my sz group too. None of the people there struggle with the same things as me and the leader keeps encouraging everyone to get on ssdi and sit around and do nothing for the rest of their lives. Its a toxic environment for me so I decided to leave. It puts money in the pockets of people who have never felt the struggle.

I think I might be running into some problems with the people at the recovery center. For starters, quite a lot of them are spiritual and I’m agnostic so i’m in the minority. Also, even if some are spiritual, a lot of them like to smoke and/or drink. Lastly, I really can’t stand the retro radio station that is playing most of the time.

It’s not as if they’re completely bad people, it’s just that they have somewhat different values than I do. And a few of them are even rough looking characters as well. But I hope that in the not too distant future, there won’t be a need for a place like that, as a cure will have been found for these illnesses.

I checked out this place a couple of years back that is open during the day and does groups etc. Not really like what I’m doing now. But I think it’s similar to what your talking about.

I didnt feel it was good for me.

I feel better when I’m around my close relatives. Doing things that have absaloutly nothing to do with MH issues. I think it helps me feel anchored somehow. Makes me forget about what is going on in this mind of mine. And if there is something going on I trust them enough to talk.

Going to cinema today to see suicide squad. Supposed to be really good. :+1:
