please help me

Hi guys I know this isn't what this app is but I've been really struggling with my mental health recently and I could just use some one to talk to or some positive feedback if you can. I've been raising chickens since I was 10 but then i ended up losing compassion completely but I'm trying as hard as I can to get back into what used to be my favorite hobbies. I'm trying not to cry right now but I just really miss having the comfort of something I love. I miss this community and using everything I've learned about poultry so I guess this is just me reaching out asking for some support. Thanks.

I've been there and I'm sure many of us have, where it can feel like everything is just falling apart. It does get better though. If xxYO me could have seen where I am today, she'd be shocked, rocked, and over the hills with joy.
I love your pizza shirt and your little chicken there. Do you currently have chickens or other pets?

I remember having a tough time at that age. Changing schools and trying to make new friends was really hard.

It’s ok to lose interest in one hobby and pick up new ones, and this site has lots of people who have other interests. I am getting back into reading and listening to audiobooks. What are some of your other hobbies?

Absolutely! Try lots of different things to see if you like them. There's probably a thread here on BYC about nearly any hobby/activity you can think of.

Same here. It was hard, but it was SO WORTH IT!

Hi Taylor, our crappy weather sometimes effects us here in the dark months. Things will turn around. Dont wordy. I've been noticing more daylight than usual and that tells me the solstice is earlier than Dec 21st.
My family here and abroad raise a really old lineage of fowl. If you are in the area or would like a pair I'd be glad to gift one.
I wish poultry clubs were still around . Pandemic screwed everything up. Nice to meet up with club members and chat and have events. Something to look forward to always. There is a banner online that has all the poultry shows and buy sell trade days as well. It's nice to get out, see what's for sale and meet others.
Hope you had a great xmas and new years!
