Feeling alone

[Emmajane1977]

Ok so here goes, firstly apologies is it doesnt make sense. So im a full time carer to my youngest who has asd, i myself have asd, adhd, depression, panic attacks. Iv tryed so hard to seek help and support from my doctor, mental health worker, social prescriber, citizen advice, ect and i dont seem to get any where, for the last 30 years (im 44 now) iv been bringing up my children as a single parent and with a couple of my children having additional needs iv not worked, iv had no help or support from family and i have no friends not even 1, so my question is how / where can i make or meet new people / friends in the community so i dont feel so lonely?

You meet nice people here. Post Questions and if needs be PM anybody you want to. Some will be nice and others, just want to be by themselves. Then you can stick to the nice ones. Success!

I feel for you, its really hard meeting new people and making friends as an adult.

For me work used to be how I did this, but now my work has gone mainly remote it's much harder.

How would you like to meet people if you could? And it what sort of situations?

Tbh i dont mind meeting for a coffee or over zoom which ever is easier for the other persons, im even open to going to do something fun or what ever really. Thanks for your comment dell

Hi Emmajsne1977, I know how you’re feeling right now. I’ve got FND, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and PTSD. I’m not getting support from my family and I have no friends. Maybe you and I can help each other through these conditions we have. I feel like we all could use support, instead of feeling like it’s us against the world.

hi don`t stop seeking support up here we have local groups who help with kids suffering autism and the likes and have helped us in the past.surely the school must know of places that can help you ever have a word with the head teacher.

hi kenster

iv asked through her school and apparently there's no one that can help , iv asked local autisum groups but they only help upto the age of 19, iv asked so many places for support of just a foot in the door to local clubs or groups but nothing has came back , il keep trying thou.

thanks for your reply
