Glad you’re having a good evening.😀👍🌈
Dear kfab2015,
You have Friends, on here.... No really. We ARE a 'Friendly' lot, who you can 'Talk' to.
However I won't probe You, to much, about yourself I'll instead tell you a 'bit' about me.
My name is Andrew, I live in Supported Living, on the East Coast. I have ANCA Vasculitis, that has Attacked my Brain, Heart and Kidneys... I had a Kidney Transplant- way back- in July 2013.
I am a Confirmed Christian, but unfortunately- due to Covid- I have been unable to attend Church, since Lockdown. I DO still stay in Contact with, my Church, via Emails, Phone Calls and the Newsletter- that I regularly Contribute to.
I see my Mother on a fairly regular basis, we have been going out for 'Drives' and, literally just recently, Meals Out.... at a Tea Shop that we both know well.
Ordinarily I attend the Stroke Group, for an Art Class, on a Monday and Headway Essex- A Brain Injury Support Group- on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Necessarily these haven't 'Happened' for some time. The Stroke Group, is considering re-opening.... but for a few, VERY basic '(Wheel) Chair' based Exercises, followed by a Chat... All over by about Mid Day. (They don't Start until Ten).
Anyway, he's Me 'blathering on', and I haven't even asked you about yourself.... Are you a Boy, or Girl, what sort of age are you? I don't need to know to the 'second' (I'm Patricia and I'm in my Thirties, will suffice). What sort of Condition, if any, do you have..... This isn't the Spanish Inquisition, just some, 'New Found' Friends, answering your Call.
Finally, and I should have 'Done' this, right at the Beginning.... WELCOME kfab2015, to our 'Forum', please Feel Free to ask us Any Questions, that you, might have.
We all, very much, look forward to Hearing from you.

Hi Andrew thanks for sharing. I’m Kendra, 29 and struggling with major depressive disorder and anxiety. I also just went through a break up which triggered those things and has left me feeling alone and isolated. I’m happy to be here and hope to make some new friends
Hi Kendra. We’re close in age; I’m 31. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I struggle with depression and anxiety as well. Break ups are the absolute worst I am so sorry! I have been struggling with loneliness lately so I could use a friend or friends also. Reach out to chat whenever!
Your friend, Jess
Dear Jess and Kendra
Jess You might, very well, be a 'Better' friend to Kendra than I can be. I'm much Older than the both of you, I'm Fifty- Eight. Please Don't 'get me wrong', I'm NOT, in any way, pushing Kendra away- I've only just 'Met' her, after all.
I have also been through a 'Broken Home', but as a Young Adult.... it still 'Stinks!', Ok it was a, very long, time ago- about the 1970's-80's, and yes we DID have Brontosaurus Burgers in McDonalds, before you ask!
We only had BBC1, ITV and latterly a, very 'Shaky' BB2- that came Only From London, no matter where you were in the Country. I remember my Grandfather having, what looked like an 'Outside' Arial/ Antenna INSIDE the house..... If you could Get It, on occasion anyway, BBC2 was in Colour!, So you see what I mean, about You being 'Better Placed' to Support Kendra- your Childhood experiences, will be 'the same'- or very similar.
Kendra, if you are reading this, you have seen my comments to Jess. Please DON'T think, that I'm 'Running Out' on you babe. I'm Still 'here' and am, very willing, to Converse with you. I just, in all honestly, feel that you 'need' someone nearer your own age. I Don't know, the Modern, Music Scene, what's Trending (I, only just about know, what 'that' is) and although I Do have a 'Presence' on some Social Media, it's Not Something that I use much.
I Hope that both, of you, DO understand, what I'm Trying- however badly- to say. However if you want, or need, 'Grandad's' opinion, on anything, then please Do ask. I promise NOT to be an 'Old Grouse'!
Sending my Very best wishes, to you both.

Hi Kfab. Welcome to the forum. You have come to the right place. There are a lot of very active lovely supportive people here. I don’t post much myself, but there is always something of interest to read. Watch out for Bazaak’s jokes. They always put a smile on my face and I read them out to my family, sometimes they grown and sometimes they laugh!
This is also a place where you can have a good old rant, get stuff off your chest and receive support while you do it.
Wonderful people.
Enjoy
❤❤❤
Hi my name is karim welcome to our group.just keep posting .all good people are her to listen to you .wevare all her foeceach others .
Hi. Welcome to this group. I know that things are very tough just now and Covid is taking its toll on us all but especially people who are alone and lonely. I know talking to people online is not ideal but we are always here. Please post on here whenever you like. You can talk to us, have a moan, say what you like as long as it isn't offensive or controversial. We can just chat. We are friendly and want to help each other. Try and keep your mind active too. There are lots of quizzes, games etc on line. It is important not to dwell on your worries. Speak to you soon.
Hi welcome to our group I get where yr coming from with the loneliness but on here there’s friends and lots to do
I’m an older member a carer to a young lady who lives with me she has lots of probs including anxiety so if ever you wanna chat feel free x
Hello
There are loads of people on here that will keep your spirits up and also give you a laugh.
Looking forward to your posts x
Hi kfab2015
Welcome to this community. I find it a very positive and friendly place, and I post here occasionally, and also participate sometimes in the Brainworks challenges, which Activity2004 does, they are fun.
I hope you'll enjoy participating here too.
Zest 
I’m also an oldie. 68 to be precise. But happy to chat to you if you feel the need x
Hi, I am Tanya sorry you feel so lonely! What part of the country do you live?
Welcome to group x we always here to chat x
Hi kfab2015,
I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling so deeply alone. Not feeling that you have friends or anyone who cares about you can make you feel very low indeed.
I do hope that you'll find some online friends here anyway. Just having someone to share your thoughts and hopes with, can help a lot.
You'll probably make more friends if you take the time to post here in the community regularly. It doesn't have to be anything specialist. Your comments, hopes and dreams are all welcome, or just reaching out for a friendly word or two will usually bring results.
At the same time, maybe you can think of some other ways you might be able to interact with other people. A faith-based group, or adult learning, a lunch club or even volunteering can all bring us into contact with other human beings and it's from those initial contacts that we eventually find others who seem to be on our own wavelength and who are also looking to reach out and make new friendships. Wishing you well and please remember we are here for you at any time!👍🙏😊
Hi, kfab2015 I am also alone.
I am more than double your age - and I am glad you are now in touch with people your age.
I was an endurance athlete (I cycled Paris-Brest-Paris in 87¾ hours in 1995) and I was disabled for about half a decade throught heart problems.
As you are young, I hope you are looking forward to getting back to full fitness?
Most of the Help organisations I know about are for the elderly in England - where are you?
Thanks everyone for your kind words of welcome, I am excited to be part of the community ! I’m about to start online teaching - I am a teacher in Colorado
