Loneliness

[Scigy1]

Does anyone have ideas on how to deal with the loneliness that comes with anxiety and depression? Other than this app, does anyone know whether there are penpal sites or other ways to assuage the isolation?

I’ve used Omegle before, but it can be weird.

Not to be insensitive to the original post but I wanted to say your name reminds me of this fried chicken place called cluck-u-chicken.

I think a live chat would be useful but am on metered data plan. Is there a place to call in for group support or group chat like a free conference call?

No I don’t sorry.

Depending on your level of anxiety you could join a group. Like fitness, books, volunteering.

Thank you all, I do get involved with a lot of activities but I think it’s also person-to-person conversation that I need more of.

Is there somewhere you can take non-credit classes? Like photography? Or cake decorating etc. Or a book club? Something that you like? And then you could bond over something you both like. Or over social media such as Reddit? And I’m sure there are other social media sites. I have actually met great people on FB as long as they’re friends of friends. I’m on numerous crochet groups and writing groups. Just a few ideas you can look into. 😁😁😁

Thanks so much! How do you know who to reach out to on FB?

Hi friend,

I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. I don't know any apps, but when I used to have those feelings, I eventually turned to God for healing. Since then, I've been seeking Him for guidance and support. I can honestly say that today, life has dramatically changed for me. I am so full of joy and others enjoy being around me. I pray that God will be with you and help you too!
