It's not a dumb question at all. I also feel pretty isolated. I have a few close friends, but ever since my divorce it's been pretty lonely. I try to meet new people, but my anxiety gets in the way and i feel like i have nothing to say. I can talk to coworkers while we are working and it's fine, but social time outside of work is difficult. I've gone on a bunch of dates from plenty of fish, and i always feel more depressed once it's done. I used to have a lot of friends, but i lost a lot of them due to my mental illness. Now i feel like my illness and my medications are a big secret that keeps me away from other people. I've been spending a lot of time alone, and too depressed to do anything about it. I miss having a social circle to do things with. I just joined this forum, and it's helping with the isolation feeling. So that's something.

Do you have access to an in person support group where you could meet people? There isn't one where i am, but i think that would be a good way to make friends.
