Hey Beth Covid has really turned everyones life upside down in the worst way. Have you checked with NAMI to see if they have opened up any meetings? I mean there is ways to social distance. You can bet AA and NA only stopped for a short while. People need support of all kinds. Telehealth while it isn't nothing but for me and I think for you it doesn't really do much of anything positive, More negative if anything. Has your clinic started any kind of group type settings? I'm sure someone would have said something by now but maybe maybe ???

I don't know if you would be interested but a friend of mine has a grief group at her church that she's been going to for almost 2 years. But they also started another group that is for people struggling with depression due to freaking Covid. She said there is some religion involved but honestly very little ( she actually would prefer more) I don't know your feelings about any kind of religion but I am wondering if there is a group near you that would welcome you and would give you a place to not " feel alone"

Is your Library open ? Maybe they had a board of community things going on? I found out recently that there is a group of people who walk in my town, its a walking trail so they are able to space out. Maybe your area? I dunno I am just flinging out ideas.. This is dumb I am sure but I see lots of movies in California and most have people jogging all over and of course the outdoor yoga.. I doubt that is true and I know your limited with your foot but ????

I really feel for you Beth I hope something is available for you to just connect even if its not on a deep type level but just another human being that is probably feeling like you are.

I'm really glad you are here. You offer such wonderful kind advice.. You I'm sure have been a bright light in many peoples lives, You have for me many times
