If you respond, I guarantee you will make a friend. Dear Abby is right: reaching out always helps one feel better. Like right now, I feel better for having reached out to you. I hope you feel a bit better. Hugs!

Thanks. I have gotten myself in a situation where I feel extreme loneliness. I left my previous job and moved to a more isolated area where there is less people and less things to do publicly. I owned a house here which is primarily why I moved and I have some family and relatives here which I thought would make me happy but it hasn't. I feel so alone some days I feel like I'm going to go crazy. No one in my life and few friends here makes it for tough going. I find myself hanging out in the bars but not making any friends or connections. If my sister didn't live here I would just get up and move. I'm not sure exactly what to do anymore.
