Yesterday I had felt really cross over the news and had spent the day doing some self care like getting into a great book, listening to music and a walk outside I found all helped burn out the anger and resentment caused by the current situation!
Hi and welcome to the group, Dogmad600 . 
Do you like to read? We have a monthly book posting pinned to the Pinned Posts. We also have videos, trivia, word games, artwork, etc.. We are always looking for ideas and suggestions for new activities/postings.
Thanks so much I joined just to talk to people
Yes I love reading
Talking to people is a great thing. I enjoy talking about a lot of different things with a lot of people. We talk about hobbies, their day/evening, plans for the weekend, etc..
Yes let’s do that
Sounds good to me. What would you like to start with? You can pick.
Don’t know anything I guess
I plan to have leftover quiche for lunch today. Might have some Greek yogurt on the side with it. We have some new yogurts we just got today from the store pick up area for our weekly orders that had been put in online. Do you like quiche? The ones I have are made using brown rice for the crust since I eat gluten free.
Lovely yes I do
Thank you! I love it.
I will be back soon after I get done with lunch.
Ok
Done with lunch now. We can talk.😀👍🌈
Hi Dogmad600 , I'm really glad you've joined the community. I'm so sorry to hear that you can't get out of the house and it's fuelling your anxiety and depression. This community is great to talk with people from all walks of life about anything that helps with positivity. What sorts of things can you do at home that interest you? There is a monthly reading group on here healthunlocked.com/positive... that you could join, or post about anything you like to cook or eat, or if you are interested in painting/crafts, etc. Asking for suggestions on what to watch on tv or read could help too. I hope this community can help! We're always here!
I like listening to radio watching tv and mindfulness and I do enjoy reading I just want to talk to people but don’t always know what to say?? Hope this community helps
It's ok if you don't always know what to say People use the community in a variety of ways. Some people like to write about what they did today, some people like to ask for suggestions on what to do/read/watch/eat etc. I try to share a new recipe I've cooked or am going to cook every week and see if I can get inspiration from other's responses. There are some really great artists on here as well that could maybe inspire you, you never know! Feel free to share anything you feel comfortable with and you're bound to get lots of responses and spark conversations
Ok thanks hope so
Hi Dogmad! Do you perchance like dogs? There are masses on this site who do! 😊
I was made to feel really welcome when I joined, it’s always good to know there are lovely people waiting in the wings to give you a lift! Just join in, we are a friendly bunch, welcome, Laurie xx
What does that mean? And thanks nice to meet you
Oh what? Perchance? Means by chance ie: going by your name perhaps you like dogs??! 😘 xx
Ok thanks
welcome to the site! I am new as well. Lets keep in touch!
Sure
To be honest when the covid first hit it didn't bother me much because of my anxiety but now im starting to feel it. There were little places I liked to escape too that are having a hard time with this. Hopefully it goes away soon!

Welcome Dogmad600, I can see you are making friends already. You will usually find some chat to join in with and we all support one another. We are a friendly community. 👍
welcome
Thanks
This is a long winded post. I know this may be a long shot but have you ever considered care work? The care sector always needs warm flexible folks willing to actively make a difference. You can apply on the skills for care website, job descriptions are available on there too. Link is below.
If you have the right mindset and required skills, then you will go quite far in your role. The number of people working in this field changes constantly. Have a look at this website which has a lot more useful information on what to expect day to day too.

I hope that this is useful. Even better no qualifications are needed. If you are looking for a position in which you can improve your people skills, this is a ideal career. Just remember it is not about the money however far from it. I strongly recommend that you find out if the career is right for you first though. Use the information on the site to guide you in your decision making process. There is also a helpful quiz too which might be handy.
Good luck to you!
Nope never thought of that
