Re: Sharing the wisdom within
Hello @eudemonism
A quick reply as I am off to bed soon..
silly me overdid it in the pool again today...only got there once last week so should have taken it more easily...
Sorry for triggering your feelings...
I think that we are at crossed purposes if that is the right way of saying it...
I am not referring to socialising...you are spot on ...yes we do need to socialise...I certainly do...I have isolated myself for far too long...lost years...
I realise now that you also don't know that when I left my husband...father of my two sons...I was not living with another man for eleven years...My husband and I had shared custody of sons...his wish so that he would not have to pay maintenance...So I was on my own again from an adult point of view...independent...working...supporting sons...involved in their sports...friends...etc...So I learnt again about the difference to feeling alone and being lonely...I learnt to like being in my own company ...meaning alone with myself therefore alone....as for feeling lonely I had friends who yes I socialised with ...that is the difference that I meant...
I agree we all need socialising of some degree...
off to bed now am very tired...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
Yea I've found that socialising is crucial to my wellbeing. Like It is for everyone I suppose. However it does come with problems and issues. I've read some biblical and philosophical stuff about relationships. It was rather insightful.
I'm feeling super annoyed about the big picture and end results of side effects I'm living with.
Anyway all for now.
I hope you have a great day.
Eude.

Hello @eudemonism
I am hoping that the effects of your medication are starting to subside a little at least...
allowing you a break from your mind and opposing thoughts...voices...
I rather like the following quote....
helps me put things back into perspective at times...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
hello @eudemonism
nice to catch you whilst you are writing...
washing if nearly dry ...bring it in and hang near heater...
needing something clean to wear would force your hand to get some washing done laugh...
I know that you love trees...myrtle trees are quite large..
crepe myrtles are very pretty...I have three planted in our garden...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
Hi @Sophia1
I'll look up crepe myrtle tree. I find them fascinating. I like the way they weep.
Plus, i'm finding each day to be a struggle. Life is rather intensive when it comes down to the crunch. I think I'm lacking something in my social life and diet. And it's having a huge impact on my state of mind. Finances are a factor... A healthy diet is expensive to maintain... Social contact and relationships are crucial (but never straight forward) I basically gotta put myself first and others second...
Eude 😕
