Who am I? Who are you? Who are we?

I live in a small town with high unemployment, so there are always people walking about. I try to walk everyday , and I say g'day to folks I pass, young persons, older folk, scary older folk on those mobility things. It is amazing that most folk respond even though it is automatic, but hey if you are lonely or in my case fat, middleaged and female...it is wonderful to know you are not really invisible.

hi,
the best thing you can do is get support. It's brave of you to open up.

it's so easy to isolate yourself...out of guilt/ stress or depression.
what other feelings would someone feel?

I think numb might be one.......

I have Definately been in a place you are in. but different.

the first thing that got me through was knowing I wasn't judged for the actions I decided to take.

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd contribute to this fantastic thread with some news. I love playing music. I bought myself a guitar last week, I'm VERY excited. I thought I'd attach a pic for everyone!!

Is that a Gibson? I am no muso but I have a friend who is hugely into guitars. He worked at Maynard ' and hand produced some truly beautiful instruments. Something must have stuck in my head!

[Hobbit]

Hi nyxsong,

You're pretty spot on!! It's actually an Epiphone, but that's basically a Gibson (just not with the $5000 price tag)

It's the first time I have bought a guitar in over 10 years, and actually the first time I have EVER bought a 'new' guitar. I'm pretty excited!

Thanks for inviting me to participate in this NikNak.

1. I am a secret geek. I love Terry Pratchett and have over 40 of his books. I love his take on life, the humour and the thought provoking stuff, all wrapped up in chuckle worthy fantasy based on a Discworld that floats through space on the back of four elephants, who in turn, stand on the back of a turtle.
2. I really do love my job. People think I am being sarcastic when I say this, but I do. Somedays its all that keeps me sane.
3. I am a cat person, the proud warm-blooded furniture of a cat known as a "Secret Siamese". I am not a cat owner, I am cat-owned!
4. I am immensely proud of my daughters for the way they have coped with the upheaval in our lives.

Hey Used2Be,

That's great! I'm reading The Truth right now (well not exactly right now!) - William de Worde and his Anhk-Morpork Times!! I've only been reading textbooks for sooo long, it's great to read something fun! I forgot all about the land of Discworld!!

I love reading

I love music in all forms

Working on being able to find the time for me to be able to do these things 🙂
