i am also isolated but see a doc and t. i have no friends left in the neighborhood i live in-they all moved away in the past 2 years so im stuck here with my husband and son on literally a dead end street. i tried several hobbies, i can't go anywhere to far because i get seizures, but for some reason i do enjoy being alone alot, probably because i suffer from schitzophrenia and bipolar. i use to feel hopeless but not so much anymore. i like to play piano, knit, and read. i know how you feel about your husband, i wish to God i didn't need mine for every little thing he drives me where i need to go, does housework, cooks etc... but sometimes i can almost tell when its too much for him. i try my best not to be too sad so i don't upset him, but he says its not bothering him, when i know it is. he is a Godsend!!!
