I decided to go play Bingo a few days ago because I thought it would be a fun, low-impact social activity for me. We sat in a quiet corner away from the crowd, and things seemed promising.

Then the lady started calling out numbers. If you've ever gone to a big place to play Bingo, then you probably know that each sheet you receive has like 10 Bingo boards (I can't remember the exact number). I became really overwhelmed and couldn't keep up at all during most of the games.

I ended up winning a game, but only because it was a regular Bingo. I couldn't keep up with the weird patterns (windmill, baseball diamond) or the "fill your whole sheet" Bingo games.

Who would have thought that Bingo would be so insanely difficult? I've been feeling better lately and thought it would be the perfect way for me to have a fun evening. I was very wrong.

I don't need advice or anything. I guess I just wanted to vent to a group of people who would understand.

It is always interesting to see what you can do and what is overwhelming. It's something to journal and note. In a year, this activity might be just fine or OK.

I think you are on a great track. Just keep noting it all and trying it again in time if you want to.
