Staying connected

Today’s rating is Positive.

I realized that I haven’t reached out to any of my friends or family most of the week. It’s important to stay in touch with people especially when going through a tough time. I’ll send a text to one friend, call a family member, and post a message on someone’s wall on Facebook.

Living in isolation is bad for your health. If you feel lonely, call somebody. I promise you will feel a lot better. In my opinion, we all need each other. God created us to be social creatures not hermits.

Current Struggle

Today’s rating is Positive.

Currently, I am struggling with relationships. I will text, email, facebook, or call a friend or family member. Sometimes, I don’t hear from that person very quickly. I would like it if people responded right away or at least the same day. I feel ignored when I don’t hear from people. That’s probably not how I should feel, since any logical person understands that we are all busy. At the same time, I also know that sending a quick message or text takes so little effort. I don’t understand why this is so hard for me and for my support group. I work hard to stay in touch because I know the importance of relationships. Is it really too hard for everyone else?

I probably don’t want to know the answer to that question.
