I have just joined (again) but same experience as last time. I thought there would be chats going on so I could feel not so isolated. But it's spooky. No movement. 20 mins searching nooks and crannies finding only rellects of the past - many years old. The couple that might still have occupants, on viewing see a couple of lines of a reply but no back and forth. No movement at all. It feels like a world that has been imprisoned in perspex boxes, bodies snatched leaving a autonomic screen that rarely changes. Feels like I'm the only real entity capable of movement walking the empty white laboratory halls staring through small, clear coated observation windows devoid of shape or movement inside.
I look around thinking I've missed the manual and spy menu lines top left. Click. All of screen with long gone txts shift to the right and where a dropdown menu would appear, it remains blank white. TOTALLY empty. Ok so now I'm seriously spooked and must escape this eerie world that is on an alternative plane for which I have no key. 😔
Brrrrrt 🥶

Sometimes a simple to do list can help one keep grounded and manage every day life such as
morning wake up have breakfast
Listen to positive affirmations ten minutes .
Brush teeth.
Have a shower .
Get dressed.
Take rubbish bag out and put in bin.
Call a friend or if dont have one go on forum .
Call dr try arrange mental health care plan.
Make a lunch.
Have lunch.
Try to do some exercise be it go for a,walk.
Something is something (even a few minutes is better than nothing)
Try doing something positive you like such as baking.
If you work to do list may look different.
Just suggestion.
Also good sleep may helo.
Lots of rest.
Lots of hydration.drink lots of water or good fluids.
Try communicating with someone who may be able to support you and help you feel better and stable and so forth.
Hope you feel better soon.

@Failed Hi friend, welcome. Maybe you would like to join us on the bunny thread. It is more of a meeting place, though you can address issues as well if you want to that. This way you will get to know some more people on this forum who are daily active on this forum.

I can see how feeling your posts are out in limbo, without responses may feel surreal.
it certainly took me a while to feel seen and responded to.
Online stuff can also be sensitive for me, I just crave face to face.
there are social chat threads, which you can join.
I have found tagging members or peer workers can help generate responses
take care mate
