loneliness...

So I suffer from depression and various anxiety disorders. One of my biggest problems is that I'm lonely. I've never had a boyfriend or anyone remotely interested in me. The thing is - I'm not super ugly, or lame, or boring (although I tell myself that's why I'm alone...). I have a lot of friends and would consider myself well-liked but that's as far as it goes.

How do you deal? Is there something I can be doing to make myself more appealing?

Don't know. I've just cut ties with someone who alleged to be my friend. That's two people in as many months. I figure I don't really wanna know right now. If you ever figure that one out though I'd love to know cos right now I'm thinking I'm better off alone.

If that is your picture, then you are darling. My brother, age 44 just got married last month & it was also his 1st girlfriend. He met her online, but he finally put himself out there in cyber space. He's not attractive, is on disability but has a good heart. It took him 3-4 yrs. but it happened.

Believe me if it happened to him, it will happen to you.

There are million things we can work on to make ourselves more appealing.

Good luck!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
