Bio

Iā€™m in 5th decade of this experience of Life, and itā€™s been a tumultuous reckoning that Iā€™m still reeling from shock over the fallout. I am long divorced, have twin grown daughters, and had a passionate 33 year career that was cut short by disability. Ā Finding any purpose at this point has been the ongoing challenge. Ā I consider myself to be a kind giving listener seeking friendships and support for lifeā€™s ongoing challenge. Ā I love books and libraries and volunteer at oneā€¦the people there are all so friendly! Ā I pass my solo time with online games - Minecraft and now Stardew Valley. I also like crafting, needlepoint and crochet, and sewing quilt pieces but am a total novice- unfortunately with difficulty finishing too many projects. Ā  I am motivated by doing things for others.

...See more I think too much, but here goes. Ā Pardon the grammar gaps. I joined this site because have no one who understands and I cannot sit with my thoughts alone. Ā Looking around here see a lot of voices, needing reassurance guidance venting, you name it. Ā All good reasons. Ā  I canā€™t help but wonder how my voice will be heard here. Ā How it will help to type into the space, my personal details issues. Ā Sure I hope to hear feedback opinions, ā€¦ would love ultimately find a close friend that I totally click but I know thatā€™s not likely.Ā  Ive done online therapy, group support, one on oneā€¦ its a lot of typing and SO time consuming. Do I start with my restlessness from loneliness and isolation? Ā Or the issues that got me here because they surely lurk unresolved. Ā I feel Iā€™m preaching to the choir to say that I have found not a single person who can ease my pain, after years. Ive followed guidance advice gratitude reframing god i could list dozens of homework. Ā My reward? Ive actually broken family connection by trying to get support from them because i have no one else. Ā What an utter shitshow. Ā  I feel my mind is shutting down from the overwhelm and futility while things continue as they have been for years. Ā  Hopeless and helpless they call it. Ā How is a human supposed to overcome, survive even, let alone thrive.Ā  Thanks for reading this far.Ā
