Hi there,

I have been alone a lot because of my husband's work and hobbies. Even though I have friends, they have their lives too, and I cannot rely on them to fill my time. I have developed many interests in order to fill time, but at the end of the day, I have experienced a lot of loneliness. I think that being alone is a trigger for my depression. I do much better when I am around people, even if I am just reading a book while at my parents. I am not conversing with them during this, but I am not alone.
I do long for more companionship than I have. Thank God that I have my dogs.
