IrmaJean Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I also want to add my congratulations on the job and I hope things continue to go well for you. It's good your boss listens to you and is considerate. I'm sorry about the situation with your neighbors. That sounds distressful for you. It doesn't sound like they are approachable to talk with? I hope you continue to connect with your family. Maybe, in time, and with more interactions, a phone call won't feel as awkward? Maybe too the Samaritans don't get bored talking with the same people? Are you concerned they could become bored? If so, possibly you could share your concerns with them if you do return? Take care and be well, mts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 The hand can't grasp itself; the eyes can't see the head. Â So perhaps the mind can't perceive itself? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 1 minute ago, mts said: I was going to ask if you have any other updates on your thread the other day, but I felt overwhelmed. well, the passport issue appears to not be a problem, but the matter of how to exit the country remains unclear (and is causing me anxiety).

Perhaps such information is better shared only in a general sense, where only its use is understood. can you elaborate on what you mean by historical and linguistic? Â Quote Sorry to hear about your anxiety. Keep us updated on your developments. Is there anything else? Reading much? Watching anything? Talking to anyone? thanks. i don't read much nowadays. i find it very difficult to find things that interest me. i try to find entertaining shows and sitcoms online and downloading them. unfortunately, again, it's not easy finding stuff that has appealing attributes while at the same time lacking the annoying/triggering ones. so it's basically slim pickings. i skype with one of my brothers as well as one or two other people, and i see family from time to time. Â Quote You don't have to answer those questions. I'm sorry if they are stupid. they're not stupid. Â Quote Me, I'm not liking my job. It's too hard socially, which seems to be 70% of the job. I have no identity, nothing to share. I'm going to sign up to group therapy. But I wish I wasn't at my job. sorry you're not comfortable at your job. i hope group therapy works out.
