Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? W/C 07.07.25
Hey everyone,
Let's just say things are not necessarily going to plan for me right now and it is incredibly fustrating.
I had blood tests recently and found out that there is something low in it and I have to take medication for 4 months then get rechecked I mean it's kind of good as now we know why I have been having mobility problems but I just keep getting new things going wrong and it gets too much even though I am very much used to it.
I was in hospital Monday to Friday this week for a prolonged eeg so they can see if my brainwaves are also going crazy during the night and to find out if my medication is making a difference to my epilepsy during the day. This was alright apart from the sensory nightmare it caused me. We get the results of this in August.
Tw- mention of weight
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow due to some concerns as recently my weight has been dropping a lot and we can't figure out why and it was picked up on last week when I last saw my doctor about my mobility which is why I had the blood test.
So there is just a whole lot going on right now and it is very overwhelming.
I am trying my best to keep moving on despite all these problems right now. Trying to get into my daily routine, I have not been able to go to work for weeks which has been fustrating for me.

Re: Talking About Loneliness - Podcast Episode
ooo i love this podcast topic so i'll try and give it a listen over the weekend - i think its one that more people will relate to than we may realise. even when if we have friends and family around us, sometimes we can still have moments of feeling lonely.
as for tips, a few that i would suggest are
1. Hobbies - finding things that you enjoy that occupy your mind can be great. it could be anything to help boost a mood. for me its reading and getting lost in different worlds through pages
2. Outdoors - i think even going on a walk around your local neighbourhood can be good. its definitely helped me in calming my mind on days i've been overwhelmed - plus the added potential people watching as you do it can help with those feelings of loneliness
3. Finding groups - i know for some this may be outside the comfort zone, but sometimes there can be social media groups that people can join to help meet new people (remember to do with caution people!!). finding local things happening in the area can be a great way of meeting new people and feeling less alone.
hope everyone is doing okay and we're always here to support and talk if you feel lonely

@eylah , thank you for letting us know that you were really struggling that day. That sounds overwhelming, and I get the sense you were coping with some really strong thoughts and feelings. Would you feel comfortable sharing a bit more about what was going on for you that day? We're here and we're listening and you're doing so well to talk about this.
How is today feeling so far?
