enlightened what are some activities you are doing lately? I skipped my usual exercise class because I was too depressed and upset.

enlightened did you have any change in your daily routine? No,not really.

enlightened how will you spend the weekend? Had Friday off, started making truffles, had rehearsal and then went over to GF's house. Today was my busy day, I looked at skis (bought a pair) and boots (decided not to buy a pair), went to a tea tasting with my daughter, got more work done on the truffles, talked to a solar installer.

enlightened how is your mood?' Not really very good. Haven't heard from GF since I left her this morning. Worried that she might be upset with me for some reason. We have worked all those out so far.

@Offmytrack

hi there, sorry to hear it is a difficult moment. Hopefully things can be on track soon.

You skipped class means you are in age of school?

Wish you a good new week ahead!

Thank you, @BeyondTheInvisible. Turned out there was no problem, she was out dancing. I skipped the class because I was upset about an incident that happened with my boss. Still bothering me.

@BeyondTheInvisible my mood much better now. The people here are great. They listen. Reply and have not given up on me. There was a situation last week, and one person especially was helpful. Listening to my concerns. I am doing okay today. The weekend almost over so no plans. Just going to relax and maybe check back here in a little while. Watch the end of a football game.

Saturday was especially difficult for me. I had to attend a Celebration of Life for someone that passed. There were over 100 people in a small space and I only knew one person. I managed to start conversations with about 7 people, but as it got later I just got overwhelmed with social anxiety. I couldn

@Zengrl I hear you about large groups. They are difficult for me. I try to just relate to the person I am near and sometimes that works well but if that is awkward then I just want to excuse myself and go to the restroom. I have done that. Hanging out in the kitchen is another place I like hiding.

When my dad died two years ago I was only 2 seconds from crying all the time. It is better now.

@Zengrl the last two years he spent in assisted nursing facility because could not ambulate. We shared meals together whenever I was there. I told him how much our fun times together meant. I said the things I always wanted to tell him. Lots of good memories.

@Zengrl

I can hear how rough this day was for you, HUGS heart.100 people in a small room coming together and in addition for a sad event would be overwhelming to me too. You did great by attending and leaving when you could not stay there anymore.
