Anyone have any tips on how to meet new friends. I’ve lost a lot of mine and I’m very very lonely. I spend most of my time at home. Need to live a little. Please comment suggestions. Really need some help.

I have two suggestions: First, try your local church. See what groups there are looking for people to help with various activities. You'll find some nice people there for sure.

Also, try volunteermatch.com and find places nearby that are looking for new people to help with their programs. You'll find very nice people there also.

Try MeetUp as well. It's a website that allows people with shared interests to connect in person. In my city, there are MeetUp groups for anything you could imagine!

Hi there, I m in the same boat as you, looking for friends. I’ve lost most of my friends because of not everyone understanding what depression really is.

I'd be happy to connect if you are up to it.
