Hi Lee

I suppose going to the MIND center nearest to you, to, which you can self refer would provide the opportunity for making new friends. Perhaps they can be made through Facebook. Also. Going to church groups meeting during the week just for the opportunity to make friends or interest groups might help also. Some people go to evening classes for this purpose. I hope and pray this does work out for you. Meanwhile keeping the mind busy doing things will take it away from feeling lonely and sad. I live in Northern Ireland. Take care. Have a really great week. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
