New city new friends

Hi everyone! I recently moved to the Seattle area and would love to make some new friends. I’m chronically ill, so my life looks a little different than most people’s, but I enjoy coffee chats, walks on good days, crafting, plants, farmers markets, and spending time with my dog. It can be hard to meet people as an adult, especially when health challenges are involved, so I thought I’d put myself out there. Feel free to message me or comment on this post and say hello❤️ #EDS #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Spoonie #AutonomicDysfunction #Gastroparesis #MastCellActivationDisorder #ChronicIllness #ArnoldChiariMalformation #Syringomyelia #Diabetes #ChronicPancreatitis #ChronicPain #Friends

Glimmers

Went to the restaurant to catch up with friends. They just took me as I am.
No judgement for feeling like I didn't dress up.
Had a lovely meal and a chat.
Just felt like all my anxieties were alot less. A glimmer and feel lucky to have them as friends.
Especially in tough times.

# surgery yesterday- # thankful for husband, siblings #Friends - heard from 4

Feeling lonely- glad i have my husband and siblings- w/o them- have heard from no one else- I am happy for the relationships i have- be nice to hear from friends- maybe they think I am resting and feel they are bothering so maybe this is why they have stayed away today.
More like the truth is they are busy in their own lives. My siblings who have grown adult children and grandchildren- and some have spouses - heard from all of them- all 5 of them/. My friends- best ever since I had my issues- heard from 4 the day before the surgery- one or two I contacted- but they contacted me back to wish me well- that counts.

But it is two days after my surgery I have heard from no friends- only my siblings- who sent flowers- beautiful bouquet of flowers-and my husband- who is helping me- today o am glad for what I got- can’t help but feel a little lonely- but that goes w the territory-

I grew up in a big family and used to a lot of people around. Now in my older adult life- I am typically alone- alone at home w my husband- who typically does his own thing. But today I am grateful for whatever I can get from him- and trying to be grateful for my life as it is-I think I am.

New here

Hello I’m Charlie. I have Autism, OCD and Trisomy X Syndrome (born with an extra chromosome). I’m 21, from the UK and I’m currently at uni studying a degree in media. I love writing poetry, listening to music, watching tv and playing video games. I’d like to make friends with other Autistic people as I barely have any friends.

Feeling Strong!

It is a beautiful day here here in Florida. It is crisp this morning and I have the windows down. I have been working a lot on my YouTube channel "ValerieCorinneNJ" and I hope to grow it. I am excited for the future and I am looking forward to seeing what good things can happen. I have struggled for so long, and I still do with major #PanicAttacks It's awful. Anxiety isn't the best either. But I do what I do because I have to. I just keep moving.

I pray that you're doing well.
I am around. I am alive. LoL

Love,
Valerie

Long time no talk

I have not been on this app in a hot minute, I’ve been busy with life, etc., and somewhat forgot about this app but now that there’s a possible TikTok ban, , I will be exploring other apps aside from the ones I already have off. Just a reminder I am a knitter. I am a witch, and I am an autistic adult. #Friends #knitting #AutismSpectrum #witchywoman

Hi my name is Mia

I’m here because I’m struggling with depression, anxiety, and academic burnout and it’s really impacting my friendships. I have no energy or desire to hang out or talk to my friends, and they just confronted me about being a flake and not reciprocating the energy they are putting into our friendship. They are right. And it just fills me with so much guilt and shame to know that I’ve been such a distant and disengaged friend. As much as I want to do better and prioritize our friendship, I struggle just to get out of bed every morning. I’m trying my best just to be okay with myself and regulate my emotions and it’s so incredibly overwhelming to even think about hanging with friends. Can anyone help me? #Depression #Anxiety #FamilyAndFriends #Friends

Connecting

Is there anyone who would like to connect with me? I’m struggling with depression and anxiety and trying to find a support group of friends. I’ll be there for you too. I live in Chicago but am open to speaking with people outside of this area.

Thank you
