Anyone around to chat?

Hi

I'm new here. I'm going through a hard time at the moment because of the time of year (I'm sure I'm not the only one). 

I lost some close friends this year, so I don't really have anyone to talk to. 

We can chat about anything, no stress. 

Cheers

hey @Saff 

I hate this time of year too. I can't wait for the festive season to be over and the new year to be under way.

 

What's your mental illness?

 

I've got schizophrenia and BPD. I've organised a lunch with friends today - I'm trying to be social & keep my spirits up. Usually one or two friends rudely flakes at the last minute when I organise something like this & I really struggle with my reaction to that. So I'm just bracing myself for that.

Hi Bryana 🙂

 

I have bipolar type 2 and PTSD. 

 

It's good to socialise, always ups my mood. 

But yeah I have the same issue, people not turning up or just ghosting the day of. 

 

Then I end up isolating which makes everything worse...

 

How did you handle Xmas time?
