I'm sorry to hear that you are not well and feeling lonely. Do you live far from your family? If they are close, I don't understand why they don't want to visit you. There was a time in my life when it was like that for me. I had been recovering from surgery and it felt very lonely when I was at home.

I'm in pretty good health but I do struggle with loneliness myself. I feel it more on the weekends. Yes I do have people by phone and email, but it's not like being with someone. I only have one good friend. He's old and has limits. He can come and visit me but it's hard for him to do it. Sometimes I forget how it is for him. I can visit him but I don't feel comfortable at his place. And then I have my sister who is 3000 miles from me and we don't talk much.

I hope things get better for you.
