Making friends can be hard. I'm in a position right now where I don't want any more than the ones I have b/c they were the ones who stayed with me during mental illness. I have to get out there too.......right now I'm house bound because I have five kids...but they'll all be in school next year!!! So I'll have to take up a hobby. I'm thinking of showing dogs, or something. It would take up a lot of my time, and make me happy I think.
