Hi welcome to the forums, thanks for reaching out. It can be a real struggle at times ans this is a great supportive environment were you can relate with others and get support so you don't feel alone. Be kind to yourself and again, welcome π

Hey @Piper20 It is often those smaller moments of joy that we forget about but they are also some of the most beneficial. A walk on the beach, a hug with a fur baby or a quiet spot to just sit and relax ...they all matter.

Hi @Poppii
I just wanted to reach out to welcome you to the forums - itβs great to have you here π
In my experience, reaching out to an online community can be incredibly daunting and as such, I just wanted to say that I think that youβve taken a really brave first step π
One of the things that I really love about our community, is that itβs an incredibly supportive space and as such, I have no doubt that youβll find yourself in wonderful company here π
Youβll also find an amazing variety of conversations about all sorts of different topics such as mental health, exercise, sports, music and craft, as well as some great social spaces where you can share a virtual cuppa with other members of our community and chat about your day π
With this in mind, I just wondered if thereβs anything in particular that youβre interested in?
Also, just while I remember, one of the things that really helped me when I was new to the forums and still finding my way around, was that if you would like to chat with another forum member, or reply to one of their posts, place @ in front of their username just like I did at the start of my post to you i.e. @Poppii that way, they will receive a message that you have contacted them π
Please know that youβre always welcome to reach out to us here whenever you need to π
Take kind and gentle care of yourself,
ShiningStar π

I am the traditional crazy cat lady (though also have small dog) otherwise live by myself. Not in a relationship & haven't been for long time. I'm 65 & have been living my life like this most of the time.
