New here and struggling

[TheeDuckMan]

Finally got to the point of opening up some. The last week or so has been rough. Can't think of a major trigger but been in a deep hole. Haven't eatten much, don't feel like doin much, beyond tired like all the time, and I guess the worst part is I just have nobody to talk with. I currently live in my truck, and have been for close to a year this stretch, with my 3 ducks. Always been a loner and have 1 friend but she has met someone now so we dont talk as much now. Thanks to anyone that took the time to read this.

Hi there theeduckman sounds like you've been alone to long have you tried widening your circle of friends! Living in your truck may be a part of the problem because your not in the one place when your not working you need to separate your work and private life and give your self a social life! I hope I made sense and hope things improve soon!

[TheeDuckMan in reply to Celtic27]

Makes sense just never been good at making friends. Add in being in a small town I didnt grow up in makes it tuff. I try to get out but the paycheck to paycheck life limmits that. Im sure it gets better someday....

Ah, I'm from NC but live in Los Angeles. If you were in my area I was going to ask you to drop by... I need to meet those ducks!

[TheeDuckMan in reply to JAYnLA]

I was born and raised in northern cali. Just came back to tn in june after having to be in cali for 2 years.

They are my babies, been with me for 3 years and have lived half of that in the truck with me. I myself have been living in my truck off and on for the better part of 5 years.

Well you must be a guy who knows how to keep his head above water. I admire that. Good to meet you.

[TheeDuckMan in reply to JAYnLA]

[JAYnLA in reply to TheeDuckMan]

Yes, I'd imagine so. But you're pulling it off.
