It's a real blessing to have this website where I can see that I am not alone in my struggle to find peace within myself. Doing meditation (with a phone app) and journaling has helped -- but only if I am consistent in using those tools on a daily basis. I am also looking to find connection outside of myself, too -- there are so many ways to try out different clubs or groups online. I just have to be willing to look for what actually interests me.

I have lately myself am beyond depressed as as living in severe chronic pain now for 20 years is only getting worse. Everytime i try something suggested only makes things worse. I've been to a therapist and unless they can remove my pain then there is not much to talk about.

I’m struggling to find connections again post-COVID. It seems I lost many of the community activities I had before (book clubs, wine clubs, lost contact with acquaintances). I feel isolated sometimes because I still work remotely and many days the only people I talk to in person are my children and spouse. I’ve noticed my self-confidence is greatly diminished (I’m a little afraid of social situations) and I’m also distrustful of others in a way I never used to be.
