So it's NYE, im in the bathtub getting ready for bed. 


As much as I'd love to be enjoying the night or doing something like most normal 20 something year old adults.  I can't.  


Number one, I have no friends. 


Number two, my fiance worked all day and is not feeling well, so he's gonna go to bed.  


Number three, I have crippling social anxiety and can't go out any where most days


Number four: I am also unable to work due to my mental illnesses ,so that means no money to do anything either. 


I'm always so lonely and bored, and it just seems like there's nothing i can do about it.  


I've tried making friends on the internet but that's not the same.  


And anyone local always wants to go out, or go shopping and I can't do non of those things 


All I do most days are sleep because that's all I have to do 


I live out of state so I have no family to turn to either ,its just a lonely boring life . I expected things to be better than this for me honestly  


But I guess not

Pray. Have you thought of going to church or how about volunteering? Ask SSI workers about at home work you can do. God be with you.

Well you aren’t alone that is for sure. Having mental illness can be a very very lonely road. I have a question for you I noticed that your pic has two cats. Are those your cats do you like animals. Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with my lack of life I tend to concentrate on everything I can’t do. I’m sure there are some things you can do. Animals can be a good place to start. Take care

Me, well I'm a mess most of the time....I do have some good spurts...my weaknesses are procrastination and lack of motivation....always fighting these two killers to live a full life. I slacked off over the last week or so...will once again get back off the floor, pick my self back up to 'try to follow a routine with the hope this will become a habit and behavior change'. I'm a bp woman who lives with her cat! :) I don't believe in 'New Year Resolutions" set up for failure for me...I Hope and I Want help me to find my way...Best of luck...

I too have social anxiety. I was invite to a party by my sister but being with people makes me anxious! So I’m sitting home with my parents and our collective three dogs. I want to be a normal twenty something and go party tonight. But I can’t either.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

    It's been some time since my last post...sorry. I've been going through a challenging time with the sale of my home, purchase of a condo and my adult asperger son that lives with me. I've had days where I couldn't get out of bed, days where I stayed in my pj's and days where all I managed to do was eat, drink fluids and take care of my Sweet Mia kitty. Sweet Mia came to me from a shelter about...
