Maybe this is a good time to find new friends. You don't mention what your disability is. But if you can get out and about still, why don't you look at joining some social groups in your area. I remember being very isolated and alone about 5 years ago, and I was fortunate enough to have a Support Worker at the time, who helped me get involved with local groups (I think my first one was Confidence Building), I've since tried a whole load of things, from computer courses and art classes to dance classes and Zumba!! It's really difficult for me to keep to anything, so there's been much stopping and starting over the years, and many gaps where I just couldn't do anything at all. But I've eventually made new friends, many of whom have the same illness and problems that I do. And I definitely feel less alone.

Good luck and take care. x
