Walking buddy?

[jesca18]

Does anyone on here live in New Jersey? More specifically central jersey?

I’m trying to go on more walks daily to help alleviate my depression and anxiety. It would be nice to have someone to go on those walks with that also would enjoy it and believes they can benefit.

Basically just looking to make friends locally that understand and also struggle with mental illness.

Have you tried looking at the bulletin board at your local library? They sometimes have pamphlets for walking groups. Best of luck.

Here_am_I I have checked out my local library’s bulletin and unfortunately no walking groups.

Thank you for your reply and suggestion!

Hi jesca18, Our Park District actually has Walking Groups that are structured

and meet 3x a week. Just a thought. xx

Hi Jesca ! Try meetup.com

I would love to join you but I live in South Africa. LOL! I hope you find someone to walk with.

Good luck! I’m in Phoenix AZ or I’d join you too.

I used to live in central NJ! If I still did I’d definitely join you. I’m in NYC now and am looking for the same thing - someone to walk with who isn’t doing it for fitness but more for mental illness.

I’m frequently in NYC and will send you a message next time I’m there. Probably in a month or two.

[Melina9 in reply to JapaneseFuton]

That sounds like a plan. Travel here a lot from the SE, huh?

[JapaneseFuton in reply to Melina9]

About once every 2-3 months. Trying to move back ASAP.

It’s great you are able to get here so frequently. Wishing you well in moving back! Look forward to hearing about your journey (and having a walking buddy)
