Hello lostSoul

[Jerrym888]

I know this is an old post but It is very interesting to read, it is exactly how I feel right now. I could have written it myself. The only little different is I am 71 year old , has no friends or family member. How do I go on. I don't go out and hate to go anywhere. I have a lot of ache and pain due to old age. I hate to cook for myself, eat by myself, talk to myself.. God, life is hard.

Hello Jerrym888 and welcome to our supportive community.

I am sorry to hear that you are finding life difficult at the moment. Perhaps you could give a little more information about why you are not able to go out.

It sounds like you need some support. Have you thought about contacting Age UK, they offer a face to face befriending service in your home. They also offer a telephone befriending service.

Perhaps you may find some of their day services useful too, maybe a hot meal once a week. It would give you a break from cooking and eating by yourself. You would have company too. Why not contact your local Age UK to find out what services are available.

Jerrym888 we are always here to offer support.
