Mental Health Checkpoint

Personally, I’m feeling a little sad, a lot lonely, and majorly melancholy. There’s many reasons, but tonight it’s mostly because I miss my friends. I miss my village so much my heart aches. We moved here almost 2 years ago and I still have yet to meet a single acquaintance, much less anyone I could call “friend.” I very rarely even leave my house. Everyday feels like the movie “Groundhog’s Day”: Wake up. Work out. Shower. Clean. Disassociate. Eat. Sleep. Rinse & repeat. Moving away from my village was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, and building a new one seems impossible.

I don’t mean to be a downer; I’m just having big feelings at the moment. I am usually a pretty good problem solver but I just don’t know what to do for myself – I don’t know what action to take to get past this. It’s Homesickness with no cure, and today I’m struggling with all the symptoms of it. 🏡😷

The only thing I can think of is having a “Friends Weekend” in Bend or Sunriver for my birthday at the end of May. Would anyone be interested in committing to something like that? Spouses can come too. I sincerely don’t know what to do, but I feel like I’ve got to do something to get me out’a this friendless funk I’m in.

I know there are many of you who are going through major tough shit right now too, so please know that I’m here for you. Share your feelings in the comments or DM me. Get it all out. Let it all go. That’s what I’m doing right now. Just feeling my feelings out loud, in a safe space. If you’re thriving right now and shit’s just awesome AF, please share that too! Let’s make time for each other and give each other the freedom to feel even our ugliest feelings out loud, and a chance to provide encouragement to those of us riding 1st Class on the struggle bus. 🚌
So, tell me. How are you? Like, really.
