Thanks everyone for your loving support! And thanks HopingTyring for remembering my picture! I will try and lose the weight, it has been a big hinderence for me when making relationships (with men) and even some with women.
I am thinking of joining NutriSystem once I start working again. I filled out 8 job applications this morning so I am happy about that! Also, I think staying away from drinking is the best thing for me. I am thinking maybe look into some AA groups to make friends? What do you guys think?
I have to definitely connect more though. Someone posted on another thread about
https://www.nolongerlonely.com/ I am going to give that a try and see how I do with it. I think I will join a couple of Pen Pal sites too to maybe give me a head start in making some friends.
I did speak to one of my long time friends this morning about all this and he was very supportive, but he is not local. I think I need to start looking into some local groups, perhaps to you know go out and have a cup of coffee or something. I think it's important that we interact with people. I have found that the more I connect the less depressed I feel.
