Thank you @Cuddlebear I have one friend where I live, and I zoom with my psychiatrist once a month which has been lifesaving. I've been very fortunate to have been able to see him for over 20 years. I usually talk to him about my son but sometimes a month is too long, which is how the question came to be. I'm sorry that your 'friends' have left you alone on the outside but so many people love and care about you on the forum! We're with our own people. The forums great that way! Thankfully we both feel supported on here. Since you don't see your daughter, I shall appreciate the effort my son makes to keep in touch more. What is your daughter studying?

Hi @Judi9877 I would love to see some photos of anything you have made with your knitting, crocheting or cross stich if you have any. I uaed to do cross stich and I have a heap of patterns & diamond dots prints waiting to be done. But I just can't get the motivation to do them. As well as the fact, they are packed up in a box somewhere between my cabin & my mum's place.

I use watching paranormal shows or movies to  occupy my mind when things aren't going well.

I hope your distractions are helping you through your current issues and that they bring you some comfort.  You are in my thoughts.

@Cuddlebear I saw my surgeon on the 18th Sept and he put me on a 90 day waiting list for the surgery. So, I think I have about 6 weeks to go. While they are in my stomach region removing my gallbladder, they are going to try and fix my hiatus heria which is pushing my stomach up into my oesophagus. Then they will be putting a tub inside my oesophagus to try and stretch my oesophagus where I have a section of scare tissue, from the lap band I use to have, which had narrowed the oesophagus, and it causes my food to constantly get stuck. The surgeon will be working on my oesophagus from the inside and maybe the outside, if the scar tissue needs to be cut to release it.

Good evening   @Dreamy @Bunniekins @heartathome @PeppyPatti @Judi9877 @Shaz51 

About half an hour ago, I started listening to some music tracks from my phone when a track started playing of a session I had with one of my therapists over 6 years ago. And he was talking about me as if I was a third person and letting me know why I treat myself so poorly over where my life has ended up etc. It was great to hear his point of view, as to why I have responded to my life the way that I have, but now it has triggered me, because here I am six years later, and mentally I am still struggling. I accept that I have made two of the big issues I had back then, something that has either disappeared, or is now at a level where it does not affect me like it use to. And I have learnt a lot of important lessons since that time. And I am definitely better off in regard to setting personal boundaries and things in that area, but I still struggle with the depression to a level where I can't function. I remember thinking back then that i was so looking forward to being able to finally enjoy my life like I used to. Oh well my progress is slow, but I have the feeling deep down that one day I will get to a place where, I no longer struggle like I currently am.

I just needed to get these feelings off my chest, Thanks for listening ❤️

Thank you for sharing @Mustang67 . There are some powerful insights there that we can all learn from. 

Reminds me that we can't control the weather, but we can control the way we handle it.
