(no subject) [Collected Thoughts]

A year a go (roughly). I was just about to start my job here.

Also, I was much more social and went out and stuff like that. Then I stopped.

Right now I'm feeling very -- hermit ish but I can blame part of that on not taking my med like I should recently. I can so tell it's playing a part because EVERYTHING seems like it's going to be some big ordeal that I will wipe me out. That seems to be my default mode---just from so many years of being wiped out just by doing things like taking a shower or going to the store. So I don't do things.

With the medication it's better then I thinkn - damn! Why'd I think it would be a huge ordeal to go to the library or church or whatever, but I still have to fight against the slugslugslug insticts.

The other thing is that it's taken me longer than I thought to really getting in the groove of 8-5, 5 days a row in a week working. But I'm used to it now. The days are rushing by and I can't believe it's pretty much April. April!!!

Going out, being social, all that is my big weak spot. I just need to find something I can do every week and stick with it and build off that.

My socialisation schedule changed drastically when I came to the USA. I fear I might be in a similar boat to yours. Every time I try to do something significant, I manage to procrastinate and eventually veto it. It's weird. I used to be something of a random and frequent socializer, and now I'm not. I think it was something to do with there being farther between drinking places and sleeping places. You can't stagger home from the pub in America (or at least in this part of it), and I think that has discouraged me a lot.

It's so frustrating trying to find like minded people around here. I don't want to go to bars, I don't belong to any service organizations or things like that. I know there are poeple with similiar interests and I don't know how to find them!

If I was really into crafts and things like that it would be easier. I do have E to hang out with, but then she doesn't really have many more friends than I do.

If I were college age this would be easier ( I think).

http://www.meetup.com/ ?

I've tried that several times, but anything I'm interested in doesn't seem to have an actual meet up. There seem to be meet ups happening for stuff I'm not interested in. I'll have to look around lj itself and see what I can find.
