You're one up on me. I don't have TV. All I have is DS and I'm just a Lurker. What I wouldn't give to be able to have the courage to post what I'm really feeling. Maybe I wouldn't be as fucked up as I am.

I'd love to hear what you're really feeling - send me a message anytime Cammiecat

Half a hermit here.... I like some pretty weird shows as well...I lurk more then post to Cammie... I post on other peoples topics but seldom start discussions...x

I only half watch TV usually because I am online chatting with someone or browsing the net or listening to music on Spotify

I've been immersing myself in NetFlix mini series....most of them have 12...1 hour episodes, so I am on my sofa for hours, but my brain is distracted.

well I am a hermit then.. my days consist of only going out if I have a Dr appointment or if we need food. and besides just not leaving the house much , I spend more time in my room in the bed now than anywhere else.. I now that the surgeries I have had this year are playing a big part in why I am in bed alot often it feels better to just lay down than to try and sit up .. post what your feeling isnt that why we are here to support one another .. Hugs

OK Heretic, enough of this shit. I am not happy with you spiralling downwards into depression and isolation.

I know you live in a shitty city that gambles, drinks and whores, but there must be SOME decent people there. You had 3 friends, that proves decent people live in LV. I know you are suffering and grieving the loss of your friends, and I empathise, but you are not going to find new ones watching TV.

There must be SOME place you can go to meet new people. I know you are going to hand me a list of excuses and I don't mean going out to bars or casinos.

To have a friend, first you have to be a friend. I'd like you to take an enormous leap of courage and put yourself back out there in the world. Find one new place to go to where you can be with nice people and be nice to them. Focus on helping others. Reach out and care for others, rather than isolating and wishing someone would reach out and care for you. It doesn't happen that way, we have to offer something in return for people to want to love us and care for us. It starts with friendship.

I am not meaning to sound like a bitch, I can imagine I would feel exactly the same as you in your situation. But you know logically that you have to go out in the world and mix with nice people to have even a tiny chance of making a friend.

Are you up for the challenge?

I have four TV's. Only use one in the living room most of the time. Then have a few computers which can watch more TV.

Lol SimonCross - you got me beat!

i know the feeling if i am not at work i am alone doing things read write music tv football but i think i could be missing out on life but at the same point there is no chance of having things go wrong and if they did it would hurt which i would have trouble handling

yes morrisbeal, I feel the same way, staying home with the tv is safer

I used to be pretty obsessed with the teev, but med change in april rather bizarrely made me quit watching it.

Which is a bummer in some respects, cos I'd just blown a wad on a fine new one, only a couple of months earlier... Dedicated to 'The Wire' on friday nites, I missed the last few eps rounding off the series- WTF is up with that!!?

Yes, now I have reconnected with my 'inner' Gyro Gearloose, all things scientific, etc. But still a frikkin' hermit.

Us farming types of yore, scoff at the socialising partaken of by the 'townies'...Competitions to see who could go the longest without going into a built up area over the years, has made me the bird loving, talks to myself, spiders for pets weirdo that I am today! lol...

Since beginning to head into an anxious depressed episode, I tend to watch TV for hours and hours and I NEVER watch TV. I can't get enough, its like taking a mental vacation
