Completely alone

[Downinil]

We as humans need others to interact with, we are social creatures. I have no one. Help! I need a friend.

Hi Downinil, you're never alone. You can always chat to people in here.

Does your local community have any volunteer groups?

A great way of meeting new people is by reaching out and helping others that need help. Can be very rewarding.

[Downinil in reply to sobreviviente]

Thanks for your support. I have volunteered many times in the past. Unfortunately my physical limitations are influencing my ability to leave my house so I would need to find remote volunteer work.

[davidthecoder in reply to Downinil]

Hey Downinil,

I have had some physical issues as well, plus anxiety. I've got a hernia that I need to get surgery on, so I get how that can complicate things.

So anyways, I don't give advice but I am happy to chat and share my own story with you. I am looking for friends as well.

[Downinil in reply to davidthecoder]

I appreciate that David.

[Downinil in reply to davidthecoder]

Hi Davidthecoder! How are you today?

[sobreviviente]

Sorry to hear that. What physical limitations have you got?

[Downinil in reply to sobreviviente]

Herniated disks in my spine, scoliosis, bone on bone knee pain as well as chronic pain syndrome.

[sobreviviente]

That's a tough ride Downinil. You've been through a lot.

[Downinil]

It’s extremely challenging to take care of my own needs.

Keep chat or post to us and when got time people and me will start responding - yes I'm going to doctor because think did something to arm but sorry to hear about your troubles. Mine is old age and something happens to back or leg and now arm

Keep you in my prayers

[Downinil]

We’ve all been through a lot. This isn’t self pity only desperation to improve my life with the limitations I am dealing with.

[LadyZen]

Sorry to hear about your physical limitations. Fortunately, we do live in a digital age and there are outlets like this to communicate online. Another hobby that has a lot of online interaction is the writing community. So that might be an option.

[sobreviviente in reply to LadyZen]

These online communities are great for people that have difficulty getting out and about and meeting people. It gives us an opportunity to really connect.

I can be a friend. We need others to interact with. Tell me about yourself. I am divorced with 2 adult kids who both live a little over an hour away. I miss them. I work as a home health aide for my mother. I was with my ex for 36 years. He cheated several times. We divorced in December of last year, but I still love him and am moving back in with him to try once again. I suffer from severe depression. Hope to hear from you.

[Downinil in reply to raisin44]

Hi! It’s nice to read a message from you, and thank you. I took care of my elderly ill Mom for 8 years. My husband of 20 years passed away two years after I moved in with my Mom . I’m sorry your ex was unfaithful. Unfortunately I hear of that happening quite a bit. I’m trying to get back out into society after a couple of years not leaving my house. It’s a lonely existence. I want my life back.

[raisin44]

so sorry about your mom and husband. A lot of stress there. Hope you can figure a way to get back out there.

[Downinil in reply to raisin44]

Thanks. I try and at least sit outside almost everyday. My doctors have been kind enough to work with phone call appointments. I’m going to have to get over my fears of society because I’m going to have to go in for a physical soon. Do you have any hobbies?

[raisin44 in reply to Downinil]

No hobbies because of depression

[Downinil in reply to raisin44]

This depression is a real menace. I know.

[Downinil]

Thank you so much. I thank God Himself for my faith.

Do you not have clubs in America, you don't say your age, but we are pensioners, we are rarely on our own. I call people in my area that are ill or housebound for some reason. We belong to three pensioners clubs, we even have Karioke once a month.

[Downinil in reply to san_ray70]

I have agoraphobia. I have limited mobility due to back injuries.
