I’m glad that the forum helps you.

Try to get on the habit of going for a walk every day.

Erhaps gofora tea/ coffee. Charity/ church shops are cheaper. And some times people will chat to you.

At the very least you’ll get some fresh air.

I hope you feel a little better tomorrow

Sometimes it’s just a day at a time. One foot in front of the other. Change is inevitable if I keep an open mind and love myself first.

You are certainly not the only one in that boat. I wish I could make it better for you.

Welcome. I struggle with depression and loneliness too. This is a good place to come talk to people who will listen.

Loneliness and boredom are the most volatile triggers for depression especially if you have been diagnosed with M.D.D. ( Major Depressive Disorder ) If you haven't been diagnosed it's time you were before this gets out of hand and believe me it will. It could be just an imbalance in your system that's easily treated with medication. There are numerous new generation anti-depressants that are very effective and quite safe with few negative side effects compared to some earlier treatments. You also owe it to yourself to get some professional counciling. You may be amazed at what you can discover about yourself with the proper approach and somebody there who actually listens to you and your concerns.

Also, You are precious and very special. Never lose sight of that. There is only 1 of you and I would bet that you are loved. Please talk to someone about how you're feeling. Don't try to go it alone. It never works.

I always thought that I was just a very shy person my whole life. I have been alone most of my life because I'm afraid to talk to people. Now I know why, it's because of anxiety. I think I will be alone forever. We have friends here now and it helps a little. I wish I could be normal and be in a relationship but don't think it would be fair to them because of my depression. I wish there was something I could say to help. You do have a friend here if you need to talk.
