I'm pretty much alone too. I do live with family but I don't want to and I can't talk to them like I would a friend. I just can't afford to get a place on my own. I know just one person who I ever speak to on the phone but I don't know anyone I can meet face to face, other than that one person who I've met twice in about 4 years (they live a long way from me). I chat to my Sister on the phone and see her occasionally but generally she has no time for me and neither do other family. So I really understand how you feel.

I'm lucky in a way that I can go out though. I also have a bad back sometimes but mostly I can usually cope with it ok, depending what mood it's in. So I go for long walks most days and catch the bus places. I'm sorry you're stuck home a lot, and I understand the cycle of eating from being depressed then the more you eat, the harder it is to exercise.

I live on the south coast of England in the county of West Sussex. It's nice living by the sea, especially as I was brought up in a busy town.
