@Pam14 I’ve only just retired so like you need to fill my days so I’m thinking of getting a dog in the next couple of months. So that will mean 2 walks a day.

I need to get some purpose back into my life.
Sounds a good idea. I got a puppy a year ago and ago has been brilliant at getting me out of the house as well as a lovely companion too and you know what cos of her ive made some new dog walking friends too xx

I lost my Husband, Jack, in January too. Mornings are the worst time for me and I have to make myself get up. As the evening comes I start to relax. Everything is an effort I am longing to feel normal and not anxious about everything.

@Cathy2 its very early days for you and I was like that in the beginning, some days not washing or eating. Don’t get me wrong I still have days where I don’t want to get up but I make myself. I tell myself how much Steve would hate me being like this and now I hate me being like this. Even if you do things like take a shower or go to the shops be proud of yourself. I’m 6 months into this shit show of a journey so I do feel your pain. Sending love.x

I’m the same mornings are the worst when I wake up,but I can’t stay in bed have to get moving like a mad woman to stop my over active mind dreading another day.In the evening I’m more relaxed probably because I have been awake since very early morning.
