Thanks @tyme
I have had some recent difficulties, I have used physical activity and keeping very busy to try to, I suppose, distract me from them. I should be using self compassion I suppose but the feeling of "not good enough" is very strong in my mind. I'm not sure it's ever going to change.
I may leave or limit time on forums due to the new "dedicated" spaces threads showing up in Latest Discussions list, which I do not want to see, for reasons I do not want to go into here.
I hope everyone else is going well.

I quite like Yarn @Appleblossom but I don't need any clothes at the moment or probably anything else they sell but I like to browse every now and again 😂

@Till23 sending deep healing thoughts and hope they echo through the coming days....I have appreciated your company.
I don't browse much off or online. But I did do one splurge on Yarn and bought scarves for me and gifts about 5 years ago.

@Till23 try to be gentle with yourself, i completely understand that feeling of "not good enough" but you truly are worthy of self compassion.
Sending you hugs, here for you ❤️

Thanks @Appleblossom it's mutual.
It's odd in some ways because your independence at a young age is perhaps the antithesis of my toxic family codependence. I was just stretching my wings when my mh crash came.
My mother was a professional muso and I'm a green leftie with STM training so I can pick up on some of your interests.
I'm not sure I'll ever navigate socially but I'm encouraged by your anecdotes.
