My pdoc is my therapist and he's retiring soon. I'm nervous about this.
On my quieter days, I spend some time here, in various forums. I get to know people better that way. I also use the "games" section for added distraction on days I may be having a more difficult time. I have found engaging here a bit can lift my spirits some days. I can give and get support.
I try to get out with friends when I can; yet, have limitations. I have BP and a few medical illnesses. So, I am at home a lot.
Why not change up your music a bit, playing several songs or a playlist? The variety might help your mood? It helps my mood. I depend upon music to help me out. Lol.
It's nice "chatting" with you like this, by posting.
There's also "chat" here. People seem to like it. I have never used it (yet).
Any plans for today?
Do you interact with family throughout the day?
(I usually have someone, 1-2 others, in the house all day.)
I've found some friends here. You could, too! We all care about you.
I hope your review goes well! You've done well with SSDI, even though you get anxious.

You can feel free to message me if you want. I don't really use chat either. I'm extremely paranoid about everything so jtassar has nothing to do with me nor does my picture. I'm hesitant about posting because of anxiety.
Yeah I haven't been to therapy for a long time. Not sure if it even works but whatever. My pdoc totally sucks and yes I need a new one. Too much change makes me feel uncomfortable and worried.
Sorry about your pdoc.
When I'm not depressed in bed all day I do play a game online and there's a forum for it and I feel comfortable there. It's nice. Been there since 2008 so it's comforting.
Honestly I don't have any friends anymore. I don't leave the house except for appointments. It's depressing. Even if I did have friends, social anxiety and panic attacks would keep me from even leaving the house to hang out with them.
I have bipolar 1, panic disorder, ocd, general anxiety disorder, and pstd. They kind of think it might be schizoaffective bipolar but I have no idea the difference so eh, who cares. Too many problems.
I'm usually home alone all day every day. My mom and step dad work 6 days a week and my brother is at school and then with friends after and on weekends. I only talk to my mom. She's the only person who really cares. Most days she's the only one I talk to at all. My step dad flat out ignores me and just wants me to 'get over it' and move out already. My brother is 15 and I guess the hormones got to him and he's super moody and not very friendly.
I kind of try to make friends on here... but it just seems that all I do is complain. I feel bad and weird. I'm super awkward. It's hard.
I hope the review goes well too, thanks. I've been having anxiety attacks thinking about it ever since I got the letter. I can't wait for it to be over.
