Wow, all of the above! You all are describing me and my life. I live in a rural area, and have ONE good friend. She works though, and I don't, so we only see each other when she has time off. I don't have a vehicle, so I sit here in my house all alone all day long. Even if I had a car, I don't know that I'd have the energy or the 'want' to get out and do something. I've thought about volunteering at an animal shelter, but without transportation it is a difficult thing to do. Glad to know I'm not alone, but I wish there was an answer for the depression and loneliness we are all feeling. *sigh*
