I'm really struggling with loneliness and would love to chat with someone! What've you been up to this week and what are you most looking forward to in the new year?

Today I saw a little albino fish at work and I got excited, but I realized I have no one to share it with lol.
Some days the loneliness hits a little harder than others, and tonight just seems to be one of those nights I suppose. I figured maybe I can curb the feeling a bit by striking up a conversation with a stranger.
Feel free to DM as well if you'd like a friend too! Or if you're looking for some kind of connection that you can't seem to find irl. (Hopefully this is allowed?) I promise I will share a photo of my albino fish
This week I traveled 10 hours to meet an internet friend lol. Was definitely overkill but I had some gifts that were gonna spoil if I didn't give them quickly. We ended up spending one night in a hotel, chatting, playing cards, and eating snacks. Good times. I was sick so I hope I didn't infect him.

I've been working on a new mechanic for my game, which hopefully lets me get back to creating content so I can release a vertical slice so I can start a Kickstarter before my money runs out.
Other than that, got my autism diagnosis and Amy trying to get my medical records that have gone missing so maybe I can get a medical cannabis prescription so I can sleep and do social things a bit easier.
My partner is displeased with me because my brain is so full I've not been a very good partner to her or father of late.
The diagnosis being off my plate and escalating my medical records issue to a higher power does make me feel like some of the weight is off, at least
Just trying to keep all the plates spinning, y'know?

Therapy helps a lot! I’ve been struggling for almost 30 years with depression, was having really stupid thoughts, but I’m feeling much better now, can feel joy & sometimes I’m even relaxed and don’t feel such a big weight. It’s a long journey with lots of ups and downs but I just want you to know that whoever you are, you matter and you deserve to live a happy and fulfilled life! I couldn’t possibly imagine, but my therapist has changed my life for the better, wishing the same for you
peehole spreading the wisdom xD

I recently bought a new winter jacket that I'm so excited about! My old one has been getting pretty threadbare, and the pockets open up instead of sideways which has been bothering me a lot lately. It's so annoying when I put my hands in my pockets for long periods of time and circulation starts cutting off because of how my wrists are angled coming out of the pockets.
Feel free to talk to me about your fish, I can tell you about my dogs!

Every bit of excitement, big or small, is valuable, cherish it.
It took me a year or two after moving way out of my hometown before I happened to make any new good friends, and I'm a fairly sociable person.
I'm heading on a vacation soon, really excited for that, and so I'll probably be on a Lemmy break for a few weeks.
That's lovely! Where are you going?

I am just about to get up and go to work, this week has been weirdly full of accidents on the E18, on monday there were an incident with a lorry my buss had to pass by, yesterday my buss got half filled with acrid smoke and we had to evacuate, also yesterday there were three lorries stopped on the side of the road as I headed home.
That sounds like a pain, I'm sorry. A lorry is like a rickshaw?
Stay safe out there today!

an albino fish is pretty cool. i also find it cool that someone else found it cool enough to share their cool fish appreciation on the internet
i think i am going to try to start looking forward to more albino fish moments. i don't share a lot of stuff on the internet because I fear judgment too much. but Lemmy is exactly the place people want to see others' cool little things they found. so, i think I'll try to recognize and share such things more, or at least engage more with others' cool things they post.
Please do! I haven't been here long but I've noticed that the most popular stuff on lemmy tends to be political or inflammatory (which seems to be true for other social media platforms too). I'm sort of making it a mission to try and share positive and wholesome stuff, or just things I generally find to be "cool" or interesting

México, plus some time exploring the Andes by train.

A lorry is the British word for a truck, specifically those large ones that haul freight.

Hi there! I'm home after 11 days in hospital following an accident and I'm actually enjoying a bit of solitude.
Hospital was full-on busy, day and night, new nurses and doctors every day, in different wards with a passing array of patients and their visitors, I can't tell you how many new people I met, it was crazy. Added to that were the constant queries from nurses about my bowel movements, being woken in the night to have my blood pressure checked, having my regular meds doled out like I was a child. I'm extremely grateful for the care, but I was champing at the bit to get away.
Here at home I have a big knee brace on 24/7 for at least another month, and have been assigned a carer to visit morning and evening to help me wash and dress. It's a great motivation to do as much as possible myself! A few friends have visited but I have long stretches of alone time, not able to leave the house. It's good at the moment, but I wonder how I'll feel in the next couple of weeks. I know the number of visitors will dwindle as I'm not able to join in activities and get sort of forgotten about.
Where do you work that you see fish?

I'm sorry. It's so hard feeling lonely, but at least we live in a day and age where communication is so easy to get ahold of. An albino fish sounds so cute! How many pets do you have?
I haven't been up to much lately other than cleaning!
