Remember what your signature says about "instinct" -- keep looking inside for that and it will help lead you out of the depression.

I know what you mean about the wrong number thing; we have the same only they're charities wanting to "come by" and pick up old clothes, and tradespeople wanting to do work on our house; it gets confusing telling them "you have the right phone number but the wrong name and wrong address" :-) Some don't even check that, just keep right on talking. And we don't seem to have just one wrong person who had this phone but someone always asking for "William" and then the majority of people asking for those other people. And the salespeople don't care what your name is, they just start in with, "well that's okay, maybe you'd be interested in. . ." We moved here in 2005.

Get out of your house a bit more. Go to the grocery store and fine 1 item in the whole store, just for you :-) I use to play that game and it was fun seeing what I could find that I'd never known existed. Talk to the clerk on the way out too. I found that as long as I literally talked to any other human being during the day (librarians are good too :-) that I did better than when I went day after day just going to work and going home and holing up in my apartment all weekend, etc. Often I'd walk (if I could) to the closest convenience store (Wawa) and would do it often enough so the clerk would recognize me. I'd make up all sorts of "games" to play; often we'd have a Boy Scout or other canned food drive so I'd walk down there each day for 4-5 days and get 1 can at a time to give away. Another time when I wanted to lose weight I bought a "box full" of canned items, one at a time and added up their total "weight" (15 oz. can + 8 oz. can, etc.) and mailed them to a food bank and decided that would be the amount of weight I'd lose that week or whatever :-) But I invent my own "charities" and also have worked with Volunteer Match and their virtual charaties (you don't have to go anywhere, just you and your computer):

But occasionally touching base with other people instead of isolating helps me most.
