I have decided to put myself out there, going to writers activities and possibly volunteering at a medical library, which could lead to a job though there are few medical libraries due to the Internet.
I would be lost without the forums here, but I sure love to have coffee with a close friend. I don’t want to compete for real life friendships with people who are like Facebookers on crack. Two of my friends are like that with huge networks. I have no idea how they keep up with all those people. That and other things are driving a wedge between me and a friend I was really close to. Her son is bipolar and has had depression, so she really understands me. However, I have been so much more productive making progress toward my goals since we haven’t been seeing each other that it makes me think our friendship was lulling me into a false sense of security and that it was bad for me in many ways. Venturing out of my comfort zone could be really good for me. I’ll have to be strong on my self care to tolerate the risks. Thanks for listening, people!
