Hi. I’m isolating on my own. I am a brain tumour survivor. I have a dog so manage to get out for a walk each day. Was in hospital for 5 months in 2018 when I came out couldn’t go back to fostering which I had done for 30 odd years so the house feels really empty now. Got 3 adult married children who live pretty close by but although they keep me stocked up with food etc they don’t contact daily (never did) and I miss them all like crazy. Would love to be part of this group

Welcome Misty4. I'm alone apart from my dog, shielding because of leukaemia. This is a lovely group of people with varied interests so you're sure to find some new virtual friends.
Hi Misty, welcome. You have come to the right place. There are a nice group of people here and they are very helpful and kind. x
Thanks Springcross. Don’t think I’ve seen your posts before tonight
I have been here for about two months ish. I don't post long posts but I do dart in and out. I am also on another site.
Welcome Misty, nice to have you here with us. X
And now you! Welcome, Misty4.
Yes it’s hard for those of us alone and not well. I’m jealous you have a dog my apartment won’t allow them. I almost picked up a cat I saw in the alley lol but it’s not mine to take & cant have pets. It was a moment you know outta desperation. Only one sibling contacts me daily texting he’s living with my parents has schizophrenia he’s good he gets it. My other siblings just seem worried about being mean or themselves don’t want to get stressed hearing about my stress don’t consider I’m alone no one to say I’m scared to get a hug. I’ve noticed a lot of mean behaviour selfishness in family that was there before but more so now. People saying things they have no business saying. I’ve also noticed goodness from neighbors knowing I’m not ok and saying hi and people smiling at each other or looking freaked out your walking by too lol. My city isn’t overall very friendly they have mixes of folks that really are and other are surface but I’ve noticed more people actually smiling at me because ... dang it ... let’s face it as it’s needed. I’m very grateful for this forum as I’ve struggled since 2014 from ptsd and back to back things with health and poor care and poor family and sometimes they’re the worst and try to work through that.
I live in dense city but pretty one. So I try to touch grass and trees & hope. And hope I get medical care I need I’m not I think that’s why I’m not doing great I’m tired alone needing it and covid hasn’t helped. But I have to try to change not abuse myself with cigs as I have gastritus anemia from meds stupid I know but I have t had pain killers in over a year from mistakes they’ve made hurting my tummy back to back. I’m tired and venting. It’s interesting to see others well going through anxiety that haven’t faced great adversity lack of control. It’s hard on us but some of them ... they now have mental health trauma. I guess we just do ourselves.
Good Evening, I'm fairly new here too. At times like this I think a lot of folk need that little bit of extra chit chat or support when we are all spending so much time in our own homes.
I know that when I click on there is always something that makes me smile, a painting or a joke, a piece of music to listen to or a poem to read. It does not take much to lift our spirits when we are in this situation. Enjoy being a member and take care.
Hello and welcome, we are pleased that you joined us.
So many different people and there seems no subject we will not discuss.
So post whenever and expect replies.
It is a lovely group.
Best wishes
Ellie
Hi Misty,
