Purely surviving

Hello everyone

I was wondering if anyone lives alone and is on disability with little contact with family or friends? I have just found myself in this situation and am feeling a bit miserable. I'm quiet and introverted so I don't have any fulfilling or meaningful relationships.

I'm hoping I can survive all of this. How does anyone in this boat survive the loneliness and boredom? I can't seem to enjoy life.

Thanks.

I am living on my own, but have some degree of contact with my family. Just today I took Gran to the Family Grave for the Cemetery Service in a fortnight's time.

I feel the same way, pink. Some days I just find myself going through the motions and wondering when the day will be over.

I'm sorry you're feeling down and out. Are you feeling depression coming on? Talk to your T or pdoc. I hope you feel better (((hugs)))

I don't have a lot of contact with the outside world other then the computer and the phone...I have a social anxiety now

DS is a really good way to be in touch with friends here...I don't know where you're from but in the US people are using Meet Up a lot now as a safer way to go out and make new friends... They're all over the place and people "Meet Up" for so many different reasons from just a cup of coffee and discussion to movies, dances, bowling etc....Big hug...x

    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.
