Hello everyone, sorry for the rant/advice thread but I’ve seen so many wise words come out of this forum I thought I’d try too lol
So basically I’m not in an amazing place at the moment. I moved to bournemouth last September to try and become a better person after getting involved with naughty people and running around behaving like some kind of gangster for the last few years but I’m really struggling to meet people. I had a huge wake up call last year when I nearly died in a stolen van and since then I’ve given up all drugs (except weed and beer) and have been trying to start a career in social work to help young people avoid the same path I went down but unfortunately due to the criminal record I acquired after the accident that isn’t possible and finding any job seems really tough so I’m really very lonely right now which makes the stopping of everything much harder, all I do is watch the hours go by and look forwards to Saturdays when I do community service so I can see people lol
So really I’m just looking for advice on how to make friends in a new place and if anyone’s ever had similar experiences id love to know how you got through it x
