hi Karen sorry was just thinking about when i used to run but i can't now i'm struggling with walking, when you have been on your own for as long as i have you get scared to go anywhere for the feel of being let down or rejected by people you think are your friends, its because i'm feeling depressed at this moment in time take care speak to you soon look forward to tomorrow your friend Alan xxxxx

Hi Alan, Sorry you are feeling depressed, I've never been able to run but I've walked a lot better in the past. I understand being depressed and not being able to do a lot of the things I once could. I am thinking of you and hope you feel better soon. Take care.

Hello there, thank u for joining the Forum. When I run I always thank God I CAN run because many people don't have the ability to move around. There are lots of sports now that are accessible to people of all abilities. Are there any sports u could try?

hi there many thanks for your reply, i used to play football, rugby, but when i was told i'd got osteoarthritis in my spine, hips and knees and i'm only 48 years old, i know there are my different things i could do, but the rest of my illness stop me from doing things any normal person would do, i think the main reason i don't bother is because i don't mix well with new people i'm not shy just a bit nervous whilst i'm face less i'm ok but its when i have to met people yet again no problem its just being in someone company that let's me down, plus the amount of times i've been reject for friendship it take a long time to recover, but then its to late you feel like your inprisoned in your own home with no friends. take care speak to you soon Alan
