Hi

I can understand what you mean

I no your older kids have their own lives & we have to let them get on with it , but could you ask them for Sunday Dinner or tea on Saturday or something ?

I no money is tight for most of us , but does your son like the pictures , you could plan going there & we sometimes need something just to break up that thought of been alone all weekend & something simple to look forward to can do that

I have a meds fear , so I am the last person that can really say what someone should or shouldnt do when it comes to taking meds , but maybe as this is what I do when I have to is , say I will take one today & if I dont feel like taking one tomorrow I wont

That way I feel in control & not pressured & slowly I can find my self taking them

You can come on here & tell us when you have took one , members have felt just like you with this & they have & it seems to help knowing people care & are there willing them on

Hope you can find a little something you can do at weekends to break up this feeling , you can come on here , someone will always be about

Love

Sorry youre feeling lonely, I think anxiety and depression can make you feel like this, even in a room full of people you can still feel alone.

I know what you mean abuot taking tablets, they have recently given me some meds for anxiety, started me on some but then said you cant stay on them long term, so had to wean off them and start some new ones, I was brave and took them, but I took it and sat there scrutinising myself waiting for something to happen,,,, nothing happened!! So I do understand how you feel!!

I also know what you mean about winter , I have always hated it but strangely this year im loving it, getting all cosy, putting pj's on early.... Im loving it!!

Maybe you could try get out with your son, even if its just a liitle walk??

Anyway were always here for you!! So youre not alone!!

Be nice to yourself xxxx

What about getting lost in a really good girly novel while your son is on his xbox. Ive just started reading one called 'The first last kiss' my niece recommended it, but shes warned me its a weapy, so maybe not that one for you!! Jenny Colgan novels are good reading!! xx

Novels and walks with your son is a good idea. I can understand how u feel because my bf works at night and I have no family here so I feel lonely quite often. the few friends Ive got are too busy.thank god for my cats!
