I am alone all the time. Don't know where to go to meet nice, supportive people. Sometimes the loneliness is all-consuming. I live in Woodland Hills, CA and it would be nice to find someone to do fun things with. I like to hike. Just having a phone buddy would be lovely. I don't like to bother my friends.

Hi Really Rita,

One of the nice things about the site is we always have people who know how we feel and will jump in to help.
Maybe someone on here lives near to you. When you feel lonely post just like you did and others will talk through posts or private messages.

I too am alone a great deal of the time. I live in the country, don't no anyone as we moved here and are 2.5 hours away from family. I have 4 rescue dogs to keep me company...thankfully. It's not quite the same as having human company but sometimes it's better. I love everything around me and keep busy on the site and working the program.

Have a great day, be kind to yourself.

Hi Rita, I know the feeling of being alone and feeling lonely. While I was in college, I had a few close friends and we were always together. It was great to always be surrounded by people that had similiar interests and I always had smething to do. When I graduated, I moved away and got married and have felt pretty lonely ever since. It has been 5 years since I graduated and I still feel lonely although it is not quite as powerful as it used to be. The one thing I have noticed since entering adulthood is it is much harder to make true friends. I also find most adults very boring because all they talk about is their job and kids. I am an adult now and that is okay, but I really miss the days when people were just people and we all could just talk about things other than chores and kids. I too love to hike and be outdoors yet my wife and I haven't found anyone who shares that love. One of the toughest things to deal with as an adult is knowing that you would love to go do something, but not being able to find anyone who is free to do it with. It is a real bummer to get older. I can remember in my younger years, I couldn't wait to grow up and become an adult, now I am here and have had a heckuva time adjusting and really miss the simpler days.

Hi Rita,

I am near Disneyland and you can email me if you like. I also like to hike and be outdoors. I belong to a club www.outdoorsclub.org which is free to join. I have not done anything with them recently, but they do have quite a few events, especially in
So. Cal. My email address is angieodc@yahoo.com I would enjoy having a friend who understands about dep/anx.

I am always up for phone buddies!! It would be nice to talk things over with people who knows what we're all dealing with. Let me know anyone

Really Rita, I know just what you mean. I would love to have a phone buddy as well. I enjoy getting on here but, sometimes you just need to hear a caring loving voice on the other end. I am in North Carolina. I do have family here but they are not helpful at all. They put me down....(ALWAYS).......So I am here if you ever want to talk. I have unlimed long distice with my phone service. Just let me know. Thanks

Hi ... I am always up for phone buddies too. Not sure if I replied to vanitykills because it says Lonely at the top. I'm confused. Thanks for writing and your wonderful quote not to worry about what people think. Would love to hear back. Maybe you could tell me how to reply to your post. Just click on that little icon next to the yellow triangle?

Thanks and warm regards,

Rita

Hey everyone! I would love to be a phone buddy also. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada but maybe a positive text or something would be good!

I understand how you feel.

I,m lonely too. I have a home, a husband, who doesn't understand "depression"or wont. I have two little dogs, pomeranians that stick to me like glue. I had three, but one little girl, Josie, died in Dec. She was only two. Vet couldn't find why? Maybe because of my depression I did something, or missed something, and I agonize over this every day.

Yeah I feel lonely too. Looking for a best friend to hang out with. I have been feeling a little down lately. I hope I can get past this.

Hi everybody!
Like the rest of you, I feel lonely too. I'd love to have someone to chat with by personal message and over the last 3 weeks, have invited 3people to chat withme but no one seems interested. Not so good for self esteem especially when its sorely lacking anyway. I told my husband half-jokingly I felt like I've been blackballed and I don't know what I've done! I really am a nice person, very caring and I love animals. Like the rest of you I am working the program-currently on session7 and doing ok with it but I have had some recent setbacks and I would love to have someone to talk to one on one.

Hey every one I love this topic I am up for a panic buddy too lol. I live in Citrus Springs Florida. If any one wants too chat by phone or e-mail or hang out drop me a line at aaronjhuff@yahoo.com Hope to find some panic buddies Sincerly Aaron

Hi Louis, I too live in California, near Anaheim. If you want to email me I am at angieodc@yahoo.com Also there is a hiking and activity club which I think is still free Outdoorsclub.org and very active here in So. Cal. You might want to look into it.
