@LoveMyRotty I really enjoy a long walk along my local beach with my dog Bilbo a staffy. It's quite invigorating at the moment as we have snow and very low temperatures. It definitely blows the cobwebs away.
@Lesjon
Hello there Lesjon!
You have a Staffordshire, lovely!
Sounds good to enjoy walks with him, I bet he likes them too!
I never brought my dog to the beach, just the lake and the mountain but any place is good enough to be together.
I also think it is invigorating and relaxing, well done ![]()
A special cuddle for Bilbo! 
Glad you joined our community, welcome again!

Hello everyone,
I guess I got here via the WeirdDarkness podcast. My memory doesn't always keep up.
I'm 58, married with two adult children, and soon to be a grand father in May.
I've been treated for depression/anxiety for a few years and just this last year was diagnosed with ADHD.
I've been on adderall for about nine months. It really has cleared my head but I'm dealing with the down sides.
Having a somewhat functional brain has caused my OCD to become front and center, where as before it was burried under the mess I was. Also the effect of taking the medication is great, but if I miss it for any reason, it's worse than before I was treated.
Spent all weekend in bed and didn't eat a thing with a bad spiral.
Today is better
@IWuzADuck
Hello there, welcome to you.
Sorry to hear you are facing such difficult moment.
It seems like some days are worst, hope that when you feel bad you can join here to experience some support.
Wish you to find more stability and to start again enjoying things in life, as well as having a well-being improvement.
Take care!
Hello all,
Just turned 65 this month, and not used to it yet.
@easyDrum1965
Hello, welcome!
Happy belated birthday. 
How is your week going?
@LoveMyRotty
Sorry, being new here, I don't know how things work with posts. My week has been filled with ups and downs, and I'm looking for a levelling-off place. Thank you for writing. How is everything with you lately?
Good Morning :)
I'm new here. I'm still trying to figure out this website. I'm 57 going to be 58 this summer. I am married, I have three "adult" children and six grandchildren. I have a lot of issue with my adult chilren. The problems seem to come in waves and it never seems to be with all of them at the same time :) I have fought depression and anxiety most of my life. I have a lot of issues from my past that I deal with at times and at other times I ignore and other times I deal with and manage.
Anyway, today is a good day and I am working on things and as of right now my relationships with two of my children are good, that's a good day :) I hope to meet you all.

Hi, welcome! Glad you joined 
It sure is challenging to face difficulties with family members, it can be emotionally draining but it's positive that today it has been a good day, wish you to have more like that, from now on.
Here in 7 cups there is also a community to support people with anxiety, you can give it a look HERE
There are also some mindfulness exercises suggested, see if any of them can be helpful: HERE
You are welcome to share when you think it can make you feel supported, we look forward to hear from you soon!
@LoveMyRotty Thank you for the welcome :) As far as the family issues, they seem to change daily :) I have to just ride them out. I have found the if the problem last more than 3 days then it's time to worry. Things right now are stable so I will take it.
Greetings,
I'm a newbie escaping the reality of my crumbling newlywed home life while pressures mount from almost all angles. Spending a lot of time in prayer for solutions to financial and marital hardships.
How do you like to relax? I like to relax with reading.
What's your favorite scent? I love the scent of cinnamon.
@Klevergal
Hello to you, welcome!
Sorry for the difficulties you are facing, life's events can play a negative role.
I like to believe that love itself is really powerful and couples in love are able to survive to dark moments.
Wish you all the best!
@LoveMyRotty
Thank you for your response. That's what makes this reality so disappointing, a new or older married couple should be in love and let love conquer all. Unfortunately, that isn't our case as I'm the one [formerly a widow] who was deceived into believing he [twice a widower and now age 73] understood by now what love truly entails. I'm just waiting for the next shoe to drop.
Thank you! I agree and pray for a happy ending to what I thought was a love story.
@LoveMyRotty how do i report my listener ?
@naehussle the best way is to do a review of the chat
Welcome! We are glad to have you in the community!
