Hi everyone

[Pub Jo]

Really glad to have found this forum which looks very busy compared to the last one i was a member of.

I have been tortured by SA for all of my life and would like to conquer it to do some of the stuff with other people that i am interested in.I have been visiting a relative in hospital recently who has been there for me since my youth and now seeing him and hearing about his life being simalar to mine from his partner i want to make changes before it is too late..i'm late 40's.

I work a manual job so not great at writing and explaining my problems fully but hope this forum can help and hope to also in any small way i can help others younger than me in the same boat.

I've been invited to a rare party in a small house and would love to go but my SA is not letting that happen which is frustrating.

Anyway apologise to ramble on in my intro post..but when i get started .....thanks for letting me in

Hi Pub Jo, welcome I'm a similar age to yourself and was motivated to make changes after loved ones died, reminding me of my own mortality I guess ! Never too late to change n all that. Anyway, hope the site helps, it's good to know you're not the only one if nothing else ! Welcome

Thanks Hackpen for the great welcome.Yep its quite shocking seeing someone you've looked up to and respected all these years lying in a hospital bed going down hill with dementia and now not able to look after himself.Just hits you hard got to make the most of your time and try break free of this ingrained restriction on your life..got to start having fun doing at least some of the stuff you've always wanted to.Got to stop falling back on old routines and leaning on people and try to get out there and somehow make some changes.

Hope to get some pointers from posts on here and already seeing people that have improved on here gives hope that it can be done..thanks

Hi pub jo, sorry to hear about your friend. My mum had dementia, cruel illness I know. It can inspire you to seize the day tho, so it's a positive out of a bad situ I guess
