Hi! I am from WI where it is way below zero today. Attending a partial hospitalization program currently. In my 50's, I am worse off than ever, mentally. Don't know if I can go on. Went to church yesterday and can't control my crying anymore and it is very embarrassing. Things are so bad I don't think I even like people at all anymore. God help us all.

Welcome to the forum Neardeath. I'd love some below zero temperature, and I can relate to the feeling of disliking people in general.

Hope posting here allows you some relief.

That sucks, nd. Our thoughts are with you. I hope you pull through. I'm from a cold, miserable state, too - lol - and I say this half seriously, if you have the means perhaps moving to a warmer climate might help. I've read various things (general articles, studies, what not) that make an argument for warm climates = better mental health.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

I'm in Door County, WI - it was three below this morning, with a windchill of -18

(that would be -28 in metric)

Yikes, 'yote! Better put on your cheese gloves, cheese boots, cheese coat, cheese hat and wrap yourself in a cheese blanket. :giggle:

thanks everyone. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar years ago. No meds ever worked. Now I will see someone Friday for meds to treat the anxiety. I have no hope they will work. Maybe just move to a legal state? Anyway, I am pursuing solutions to the biggest problems and hope to gain some relief. I don't know what my story is beyond that. Miserable life with this social anxiety. Living becomes nearly impossible. I have two grown kids, a pug, and a cat. Just made up my mind to move to a building with a view of Lake Superior. I don't really connect with anyone since I lost my partner to pancreatic cancer almost 5 years ago, so I will give this a try as a social outlet. Thanks for your support and thanks for listening to me babble.

P.S. Yeah, Packers - lol. MMMMMmmm cheese. And, they have downgraded the weather from a warning to an advisory because the windchill will be -40 or less instead of -50!
