I had a dr visit today to arrange an outpatient medical test and realized it all hinges on whether or not my husband can take off work because I have absolutely no one I could ask to take me to or from the hospital. That is just freakin sad. I didnt realize I had isolated myself this badly. I'm not depressed (now) I just havent gone out and made friends. Guess there's bad things about being a loner.

I've never been very good at making friends. I don't have any that I can call on either.

Im in the same boat. And I know its my own doing. I have a couple of friends that could take me to appointments if we planned it in advance and they wernt working, but it is extremely hard to organise since they all do work and it would be a huge ask on my part.
I am no longer depressed but I just havent been bothered to see much of my RL friends. Its tiring and uncomfortable and its so much easier to stay home and talk to my online mates (who have been there for me far more than any real life mates). I know if I can be more social if I really try but I am focusing all my energy on not being anxious about work and leaving the house, I dont feel I have the energy to do much more. I dont see the point of socialising if I dont enjoy it and am struggling the whole way through it. Much easier and more comfortable for everyone if I just dont go out.

It doesn't have to stay that way. There are people you know that would like to get to know you better. I'm sure of it. You just have to let it happen.

It's the same for me. My car is broken right now and I depend on my boyfriend and his family for transportation because I have no one to get a ride from outside of that small circle. My closest friends are online friends, and the people I work with remain acquaintances.

I don't have my licence (I'm not stable enough
 ), so my husband has to drive, I have neighbors, but all my friends and family live 600 mile away.
