have been depressed and feeling lonesome a lot lately. Most of my friends have left me because I have multiple sclerosis and I can't go or do a lot of things that I use to do. Now I find myself sitting at home or when I do go out I have no one to share the day with. My family tries to help but they have their own lives and don't include me in them a whole lot of the time. I have started eating a lot to pass time and have something to do with myself but I know I have to stop that. I need someone to talk to to make the time go faster or just a friend period.

We are here whenever you need someone to talk to. Sometimes it may seem like no-one is around when you need them, but the problem is we all live in different states so the time difference makes it harder to connect. When I get on around 2:00 in the afternoon, most people have already signed off which makes it hard. A very big welcome to you also!! Hugs

Alethia, welcome to DS and the group. Feel free to contact me if you every need someone to talk to.

With your MS, do you have the ability to get out of the house, even if by yourself? Do you have hobbies or interests that you can share with others in order to make some connections?

Hello-sadly people without even an physical health disability get left out by their own family members too..so even though it isn't pleasant,we have to go out and get involved with what we enjoy doing and what interests us..hobbies/crafts and perhaps even volunteer work

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
