Still can't sleep....

I had a vacation and came back to the sane bullshit I had before I left.... worse at work.... I am at the end of my fucking rope

I wish people would just stop using me as an emotional crash test dummy...

As soon as my parents are no longer on this earth... I am selling my house, throwing away my phone, and moving away..... I am not kidding

Im sorry.
 
You could start your own thread on one of the topics you want to discuss... but that puts it all out there on the web for anyone to see 🤷‍♀️
Then again, Lit has been around for so many years... with a bit of searching you might be able to find a thread or five already out there. :oops:
Good point, thanks.

I had considered starting a thread. In fact I did, then deleted it and let it sink without a trace. I'm not sure how much is sensible to share on here tbh.
 
Thank you.

I think what I would like is to find someone to talk to about these things. But I'm mindful this forum might not be the place. As you say it's for friendlinessand that's a good thing:)
You just need to find a like minded soul and from the U.K. will make life easier but it’s not essential. Be patient and you will.

It’s so sad you feel like that but I know how you feel. It’s why I am in Scotland. Got fed up of the busy south, stress people traffic and development. Fell in love with this place; thought stuff it and went home and sold up! You will get your time it’s just perhaps not yet. So in the meantime transatlantic hugs @Missk_2022

That's exactly what I need. Whether here is the venue for that, who knows? I didnt expect it to be nor do i still.

I have chatted to a few from the UK, including the lovely lady I mentioned before, but she is too far to get to sadly (ain't life a stinker sometimes!)
I'm chatting to another right now, but while it's very flirty, she and I have really not much in common, plus she's actually going out and getting laid in the meantime. I'm not sure how I feel about that, ie it's her life and she should live it but it sort of leaves me feeling kinda left out. That sounds awful but its the truth. Dirty chat over PM's with someone actually out living their best life makes me feel a bit silly really.

So people on here are cool, but they and I are quite different ppl. Unfortunately in the real world I live in a very socially isolated and disconnected region. Covid, as with so many aspects and for so many ppl, has not helped.
 
I have been quiet as it’s been a sort of busy week. Had a colonoscopy screening which is not the best 24 hours of my life. All the usual concerns about it but fortunately all seems okay. Yesterday I took time out for me and went fishing to switch off. It’s another busy week ahead with my mums 90th birthday so a trip there Wednesday. In the meantime it’s jobs around the house and garden.

Only you know what you want. Be patient and you will get there. As for isolated try rural Scotland lol!

And fun/work with my 5 fave gold retrievers
 
Hope you feel better
Good morning MissK, G, Q and other early risers. The heat and ibuprofen helped and got a couple more hours of sleep.

Air quality was unhealthy yesterday and until noon today. The Canadian wildfires are having a significant effect in the Great Lakes State. I know it’s affecting so many of you as well.

I see my grandchildren today and help my granddaughter with learning to ride a bicycle.

I still want to make dinner and drinks for you and my Lovely Wife...
....and that phone thing, well, if you smash it with a hammer, I'll bury it at sea for you!
I hope today is a better day for you 🙏

Safe travels down south.

Glad you got some fishing time in!
