Guys I will like to make friends with anyone to txt or to talk sometimes or go for walks on weekends. If you too want the same or want to make a new friend give me a shout.

Hi Manish,

I felt just like you some time ago, the loneliness is awful.

I rang the local MIND charity and got involved in a drop in centre that they told me about in my local area. it's a good way of meeting people, they have art, snooker, day trips etc.

I don't live in your area , but they usually have similar things all over the country, if you telephone MIND and explain you need to make friends they may be able to make some suggestions to you. The number you should call for your area will be on their web page I would imagine

Good luck, having people around that understand and you can talk to is important I know.

If you decide to ring them lets know how you get on

Hi Jules, yeah it's been great for me, the drop in I went to have facilities to a course too, which I have completed recently, will find out in January if I passed , but they are indicating there's no reason why I shouldn't,If I have passed I can then work for them,mince the relevant checks have been completed and help others with mental health illnesses, it would be part time work and working with people who understand mental health , which really is helpful and it's part time, so a great way of gradually getting back into the workplace, so who knows what comes of going to a drop in or similar place :)

Hope your well Jules

Thanks for the comment

Manish I get so worried about people posting their phone numbers on here. As depressed people, we are among the most vulnerable, and I hate the thought that someone would take advantage of you. I've noticed you posting on here a lot more recently and I've really enjoyed reading your responses to folk. Message me on here anytime you feel like a chat, I'm nev far away from my iPad! X

Hi Manish,

Great idea to try and make more friends. I agree with Lucy that you need to be

More careful about giving out your private details here. Anyone could come on here

And we are vulnerable. Be careful who you meet and it might be better to privately

Message them with your info.

Have a good Xmas , and take care

Manish i would take sue's advice and join MIND . I might even do thé same in the new year. I have felt the sweet breath of loniliness the past few months and never knew what to do about it. So Sue's advice helped me as well. And I agree with the others, don't put your personal details on any forum based website, especially if you're in a troubled state of mind such as this.

Good luck with it bro.
