hey still on a massive downer that came from who knows where, stayed off here for 48 hours but had to come back, some of my problem is down to lonliness pure and simple, mostly other peeps on here have boyfriend gilfriend husband wife family or indeed friends, my life is destined to be alone it would appear, from being a child on a remote lighthouse to now in my little cave, bless you all for your words of comfort and wisdom, advice and making me smile making me cry, life's a bitch then you .......... pass wind and hope tomorrow is a better day!!!!!

Do you find making friends difficult? It's always good to join groups, sports, music, reading group or anything ...... sit on the sidelines, watch if need be ....... there's always someone to talk to, someone else who's quiet maybe, or a chatty person ... anyone. There's people out there .....
Yep, tomorrow is another day xx 
one problem kate is my location, have you heard of slap bang in the middle of nowhere? aha, that's me, a beautiful place with sea views, unpolluted air, but more sheep than humans. most of the time my own company is ok, but now and then we fall out.... x
Iv got to say I hate been alone with my thoughts. It must be hard for u but u seem to b doing so feel. Depression freezes u too where u can't be bothered to get out. Maybe u have family u can visit ? A hobbie u could try? I found playing on brain training games helped pull my mind out of the fog x
sorry Jenmasu Mr Moderator has removed your email address, I will try send mine via the link shown, fingers crossed because I'm rubbish with this laptop!
Ah, see what you mean. An absorbing hobby of some sort, online groups .... Beautiful and peaceful to be in the middle of the countryside though ;-)
Awww david, maybe getting a dog would help, I know you mentioned before you had thourght about it. It gives you a purpose to get up, and out.
there are lots of rescues about if you dont want a puppy.
its good you can identify that being on your own makes you feel down, so now I guess its looking at how to solve it. Going to the gym? Joining some sort of class? Getting a hobby? Or a dog? Join online groups?
sorry your feeling so down.xx
I did join the gym, they got a new machine in recently which I managed an hour on before being sick......... I mean just how many Mars Bars, Twix, and Snickers can you eat in an hour?
xx
Hi david
It does sound lonely up here, im sure its idyllic when youre feeling ok but depression itself makes you feel alone (even with people around as you dont want to burden them or feel guilty that you're not the life n soul) so your situation is hugely magnified :-(
This forum helps me lots too. Maybe like kate said you could get involved in local groups (conservation,walking, maybe even darts or something?). There maybe some volunteer work you could get involved with (depending on your health). And there are lots of online chat rooms (that arent the dogy kind!) Or online gaming (chess even?) where you can interact if not directly chat.
Its worth a try. Hope that dark clouds blows away soon
Take care

ha ha, i have thourght about joining a gym, but after walking for a few hours on the moors, or taking puppy through the woods, i dont think i would have the energy, so have given up on the idea for now. any more thourghts on getting a 4 legged friend?
xx
hello 
a 4 legged friend? do you mean 2 girlfriends?? I do'nt think I could handle 1!! no seriously I have done a lot of thinking regarding a pet, and believe it or not the nearest I have come to buying anything was........ a baby owl. Although taking the owl for a walk would have its own problems, great big buzzards flying round here for instance. Perhaps when I get a bit better at looking after myself I will consider a dog, I'm not into small breed dogs, Great Dane, a big shaggy Irish Wolfhound maybe so glad to hear of your daughters continued improvement Karen, gradually easing the burden on your mind too. Anyway, have a nice day and thankyou for messaging me xx
A baby owl awwwwwww :-)
I agree, a dog would be very helpful. I even asked my son if having his own dog would help. I love animals, though I'm not a dog person. I've always had cats and have 2 at the moment, but am happy to get him a dog so he can have a responsibility, go out walking etc and know they'd be best friends. But he says no it wouldn't be fair on our cats. I'd buy him an elephant if he wanted one and it helped his recovery :-)
hello Kate, a baby elephant hahaha yes I could see potential problems with dogs and cats under the same roof, but having said that, it does work for many people. I'm still in love with the thought of a baby owl, watched loads of stuff on you-tube etc on them. ooops my writing has gone sideways and I have'nt a clue what I've done, dangerous with this laptop 
Actually a baby elephant would certainly get him lots of friends, and he could ride it into town ..... save on fuel. Any traffic queues he could just stomp over the top of everyone :-) Parking would be a problem though lol.
You should seriously look into owls. Is there anywhere relatively near that has birds you could go visit?
