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.

    Today mom and I are taking Moo and Copper to the vet for vaccines.  I'm watching a movie having coffee while copper snoozes in between my knees.  What does Thursday look like for you?

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
