What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

[Lionheart]

Every day for quite some time, I have been feeling bored, tired and lonely. It has become a pattern. I can fix the bored, (sometimes) and work on the tired by resting (sometimes), but I don't know how to fix lonely :confused:

(((LH))), is there anyway you could volunteer as a befriender. I love my volunteer driving. It gives me a purpose to get up and out (like this morning). It also highlights how lonely people are and as well as driving we give that listening ear.

Maybe a local church or charity within the town could help you with this. Sometimes all that is needed is to sit and drink coffee with them.

I get so much out of what I do, the driving means that I have to go out, without that incentive I can't see myself going out.

I don't want to sound as if I'm lecturing, but it is a nice way to feel of use and you can do as much or as little as you want.

((HUGS))

Thanks KP,:)

I didn't take it as lecturing. I have been considering volunteer work recently, but I have the CFS and my car is in need of repair, so it will be awhile before I am able to do that type of work, but I think it is an excellent idea!!!

I will talk to my "t' about it and see if she has some suggestions at to what agency I may go through etc. It's funny (not), you have to put up a cash bond here to do volunteer work.

Wow, that is insane. It must limit those who can volunteer to folk who have spare cash. In the UK, you just look at charities, go see them and they do the rest.

For my driving I have to have a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check, this mainly looks to ensure I haven't been convicted of abusing anyone. It is the charities responsibility to supply training etc.

 

[Lionheart]

Yeah. I live in a state in America known for child abuse, so it is probably a good thing that they do require a cash bond and criminal records check.

I am feeling shocked and stunned in a really good way. Finances have been so tight recently BUT today I have received a tax rebate. WOW, it will certainly help, both dogs need annual vaccinations soon.

[AngelaMarie]

I am feeling confused.

I am feeling like a failure.

((((AM))))

I am so much more upbeat today. Maybe being at work, maybe the sun shining, maybe actually having a little bit of money in my bank account. I don't care what it is but I like this feeling.
