To the tune of 'All the Things She Said':
Nothing's getting done, nothing's getting done, cause I'm being dumb, cause I'm being dumb, cause I'm being dumb.

Just checking in... Life sure ain't like it was as a child... I'm feeling lonely on a regular basis... But don't have many social options that I haven't already exhausted... And often I turn to unhelpful habits... Managing rather well with all things considered though... It's a struggle... And I'm frustrated with the way the world is... But I can't do much about that...

dear @TheVorticon @eudemonism
G'day,
My name is PeppiPatty,
I completely am there for you with loneliness. @Appleblossom has really really sorted me out with feeling lonely. She is very very clever. And empathetic.
Can you think of one thing that you do in the morning that makes you feel positive? Like, maybe sitting down and having your first cuppa the first thing in the morning?
A shower in the morning?
Some positive things in my life which have helped me : (Sorry with the self-referencing...)
I'm a bit of an advocate with writing lists....definitely something that I'm also in rounds of getting used to or I'm so into it my life is a bit in order.
Focusing on the positive things in my life. Maybe going to the library and looking for a particular book....or DVD.
We are celebrating @Maggie s brilliant quote which is about your journey, no matter how long it takes ......I'm trying to find it but can't.....it's somewhere on this thread.....

Believe it or not, but the simple act of making your bed for the day can make a real difference ..... it sort of sets a course for the day.
Try it ?

Ha ha @Faith-and-Hope I was such a good little bed maker for 50 years, I tried the opposite approach recently and that works for me now.
@eudemonism managing well ... all things considered
... is pretty good .. actually
@PeppiPatty I am a list girl but luckily there is not too much on it today!
Have a good day ALL

Hi @PeppiPatty, @Appleblossom, @Faith-and-Hope, @TheVorticon, @eudemonism
Just dropping in for a hello.
im trying to get to the making my bed thing but it’s still not happening. :face_with_rolling_eyes:
@eudemonism, @TheVorticon I get that sometimes it’s just a battle. I think the loneliness for me comes from the constant internal battles.
Hang in there, some days are better than others. 💜🤗
today im not trying to make lists. I think it’s a go with the flow day which really doesn’t happen much and are often my better days. Here’s hoping everyone has at least one good moment today of achieving something. 💜🤗

Wish I could take my own advice.
