Hi Paws,
You haven't posted here recently and I thought I'd bump you up a bit!!!
I'm sorry you've been feeling not good lately. I was going to post here and you beat me to it on my thread. Is there anything we can help with here? You know you have friends to listen to you here...
Paws I wonder is there a chance of you finding some way to meet people casually like I am in the dog park, where people just turn up when and if they feel like it.. nobody has to book... it's just a casual chat but everyone is supportive.
Is there anything in your town like a neighbourhood centre, or charity that offers a cup of coffee, where you could mange to go and chat to someone friendly? You seem to be very isolated and it's OK but if you ever need help, is there anyone there you can turn to?
I know trying to go to that meetup one time was too much for you, so I am thinking of something similar to what I have here, where you just rock up if you feel like it... The first time is hard, and after that it gets easier and easier.
Would it be worth looking around? I do get worried about you being so alone. Unfortunately here we can't actually talk to you, it's just typeface!
Could you try a small walk with Woofa, and maybe get talking to someone, so people would get to know you a little bit?
Just some random thoughts. I know it's not easy. If you just found one person you could call on if needed, or chat to occasionally, you might not feel so down? Your thoughts?
Music is this week and I have hardly had time to practise!!! Eeeek. I spent ages at the dog park this arvo and I meant not to, but we were having an interesting discussion about corruption on local councils!
I'm reading a lovely little book by Elizabeth Jolley, The Orchard Thieves. It's just lovely. I wonder if you have a library there that might have it?
Sending big hugs from me and slightly tired, fluffy ones from little Sam, who is currently snoozing in front of the fan - it's hot here!
