Or pass some time in the Games section :)

I was in the chat room last night, had a lovely chat with a few others here.. definitely recommend it. I don't think it gets used enough!

Hey Greg, u r never alone as a member if NMP. I can relate to it feeling lonely but remind yourself it's only a few days. In the scheme of things soon your sister will b back. Also you are doing well in keeping busy. Also u r able to go to the beach etc still. Even though you are alone you can still mix with others. because you are on your own at home, the rest of your time doesn't have to be spent alone. Also you don't have to spend the whole day decorating, u r allowed a break :-)

[gregcool]

I went into the chat room earlyer had a good chat in there will pop back tomorow..i might go for a walk after my day decorating just to break up the time in doors.

[Tessar]

Oh, Greg, I read "bench" as "beach", doh!!! Sounds like a walk to break up the day is a very good idea.

Hi Greg how is it going did you manage to get out yesterday. I know how you feel, the days seem so much longer when you are on your own, even when you are busy. I have children I go and visit but then I hate coming home to an empty house. Hope you feeling a bit better today :)

Hi Greg, I hope you're getting on OK.

The decorating is a good activity to keep you busy, but it's unfortunate that it means spending so much time alone at home. Is there anyone who could pop round to give you some company? Do you have time to take a break and get out?

Maybe try some relaxing activities in the evening. A hot bath, some TV, read a book. Something to fill your mind without tiring out your body might help you wind down and get to sleep.

I hope your week goes well, and good luck with the decorating!

Hi Greg,

I often find myself spending long periods alone. What I've done in the past is start Meet Up groups, and now I've got a PA from MIND. That's me though mate and this is about you. If you want a chat with me I'd be up for that. You'd be helping me too.
