Today I went alone & visited a friend in rehab; went dollar tree & got a notepad to journal in. Tried to keep busy at home & visited this site a couple times. I would've gone to a local park to walk, but it was rainy from the hurricane so didn't. Is there a nearby coffee shop or something similar where you could hang awhile & maybe chat with someone? I often wander around stores even though I hate shopping, and every so often I chat with a total stranger. Met a great woman at Earth Fare yesterday who noticed me looking at Ashwaganda for anxiety; she knew alot about supplements & we talked for a long time & I even got a hug from her. She also has a pottery class nearby my home, so I plan to look into that even though I have no talent. The bottom line is to get out of your house for awhile & go anywhere that there are other people. Yard sales are a good place to chat with people too, although I haven't tried that yet, but I have it in my mind to do it when I'm alone on weekends. Hope this might give you some ideas.

Hi Moodchange. I just now saw your post.

I guess it depends on the type of support/discussion you are looking for.

I'm fairly new, too & don't go on this one much, but it's called "Mental Health Support." Maybe give that one a try?

in reply toLovelySnow

Ok will try. It helps that someone even responded

Faux gave you this link in one of your posts. I have had a quick look and they have a chat room as well as a forum which might be what you are looking for.

sometimes a complete stranger is the one person that helps us feel better about ourselves.

Not what you're looking for?
