I just wish I had someone to talk to sometimes when I feel down and hurt.

Life can be so heavy sometimes. And I smile 😊 and enjoy each moment but I will be driving down the road listening to my music and just break down.
I am in a marriage that is slowly breaking me down & I just lost my dog to cancer. I hate sounding so negative and pathetic. It's embarrassing. I just wish I had a friend outside of my normal life that I could confide in and vice versa. Just to get it out. Anyways I am so happy to be on my weight loss journey because it gives me a positive and healthy outlet. So if you're like me, and just wish you had a friend please feel free to reach out. Wishing everyone the best and that you reach all your healthy goals.

    I'll be your friend, :) to share thoughts, struggles, tips or just motivation. I'm new to this journey and could use an accountability buddy.

    To transition out of my marriage, I became first a part time, then a full time volunteer at a yoga retreat center. I had lots of personal growth during this time and highly recommend it. :smiley: I realize it's probably impractical for most people, however. In that case, I recommend volunteer work. In my area, hospitals, libraries, senior centers, and food pantries all use volunteers.

    It took me a really long time to get over the death of my dog, also from cancer. I grieved for him longer than I did my father, to be honest. I felt unconditional love from my dog.

    I had my dog in my first serious relationship after my divorce. This relationship was over, but I was still living with him because of our dog. When he was given 6 months to live, I told R that I was moving out after our dog died, and I did, within two months.
