On a happier note

Hey all a gardener was supposed to call 2 weeks ago and tidy my garden up as it's spring nearly (doesn't feel like this week or next) Any they let me down bloody typical:huh: I cant do things on my own due to my depression and loneliness so thought that's something else that wont get done this year but have this friend that said if you need a hand with anything let me know so txt him yesterday and he called today we both tackled it together in 1 hr the energy I had was amazing and we chatted to each other while we got on with it, so feel really pleased that's done now I know I couldnt have done it on my own it's not a cop out either it's so much nicer when there is some with you :)Cheers

I absolutely hate gardening Bboy, so if you ever get bored, you could pop round and do mine. I'll make you a cupa and I can blether for Scotland. :D lol

Hey BB - You raise a great point. Activity is a great weapon against depression/anxiety. there is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment no matter how small. I came home and have been sitting on the couch but after reading your post I am now putting my sneakers on and headed out for a run. Which I know absolutely will make me feel much better. It will make me feel better sleep better be healthier burn off tension...Thanks man!

Gardening is good exercise. It can be gentle too.

There used to be gardening projects promoted at Changes. Community gardening financed through charities or government grants. It looked a good idea.

We have places like Douglas Macmillan Hospice and a few others who have sensory gardens. They ask for volunteers.

One of the guys at Changes volunteered at Park Hall, Dave. He said it was great some some forestry work.

I'm glad you had a good session with a kind friend.
