Ottawa chatrooms:

XMPP: empty
Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#ottawa:matrix.org
Telegram: https://t.me/chatottawa
Discord: https://discord.gg/TrCHrucmqJ

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

Just checking in with others, making sure everyone's good and happy, or if anyone needs any help with anything.

Rewiring myself to be more outgoing, and accepting of everyone so why not start with Ottawa.

for me, I was stuck in a negative feedback loop. it was horrid. it's been months like this. My emotions varied like our weather, everyday was different and could change in an instant. it was horrible and I knew it.

I ended up seeing my doctor, revised my meds, working on fixing my insomnia which was compounding all the other issues I was experiencing

things are now looking and feeling great. I am starting to put myself back out there one step at a time as I never fully recovered/re-entered society from the COVID lockdown.

I plan on volunteering my time to somewhere, I haven't found anything yet. so if you have any recommendations for volunteering opportunities outside of normal bankers hours, please let me know. pets/animals would be key, but humans are probably where I should focus on to build my confidence and get back into that small talk which I'm bad at.

Thanks for being a great city and rarely letting me down (you don't count octranspo... lol)

I'd love to hear how everyone is doing, and if you need any help with anything that I might be able to assist with. I know, online people scary. The offer is there though :)
