@Eve7 I'm reading two great achievements in your statement:
@Oaktree would you like a cuppa too? There's an unlimited jug being poured by our good friend @Former-Member 😊

Thanks for understanding @Former-Member @Former-Member
I have one almond finger left @Former-Member and I’m sorry you’ve had a hard day.

I love to help people @Former-Member
Energy levels are low though, unfortunately.

Amazing @Former-Member, me too 😊
Could you start maybe by writing a list of the reasons why you love helping people? Sometimes it's enough to just organise our thoughts and feelings, you don't necessarily have to jump to action straight out the gate.

Thanks for the invite guys. Do you have hot chocolate in your pot? I don’t drink tea or coffee.

I'm on the chamomile tea over here as I don't drink caffeine @Oaktree, but I would love to pour you a cup of hot chocolate...

That doesn't sound silly, not even close @Former-Member. Sounds like you might have some boundaries in place that are self-protective. When we open ourselves to opportunity it can involve a certain level of risk, and that level is felt differently by us all.
I wonder if the benefit in the risk can sometimes outweigh the discomfort?
