Not only do I feel lonely I am so depressed because I feel all alone.I dont have any friends who I can call but you know what I need some company to make me smile and laugh, Being lonely is awful.I dont want to be a burden to anyone and sometimes I feel like I am a bother to people.

Hi carol. I see from your profile that you lost your mum recently. I'm so sorry. This time of year won't be easy but you will get through it. When i lost my mum in 2007 it was as if someone had put their hand in my stomach and pulled out a lump of flesh and i had a hole there. i was incomplete, lost and numb. This lasted for a few months. It hits people in different ways. Don't isolate yourself, talk to people it helps. Coming up to Christmas there will be all sorts of opportunities to talk to people. Look on meetup.com and see if there are any groups you fancy. Look at what's going on locally. Maybe there are things you could go to. Dinners, church events, christmas concerts, whatever. Maybe use the lelplines. Like i always say to people on here feel free to pm me. I will always answer. Best wishes.

I am unable to go out I have server agoraphobia ,lucky for me I have a friend who comes and sits with me twice a week.I love her so much
My mom lost her will to live two weeks before she passed away she wouldnt even talk to me or anyone else for that matter.She hasnt been right since my dad died ,she starved herself to death I heard she was nothing but skin and bones,She wouldnt eat,drink or take her meds.All she did was sleep all day long I knew right away that was not a good sign and now she is happy because she is with my dad,I lost both parents less then 2 years she was so very sick they wanted to do surgery but my son said no he didnt want to have to suffer like this anymore,She was 91.Her and my dad were married over 70 years.Mine would have been a lot more if my husband hadnt passed away at 51.

So sorry you lost your mom and dad and husband. I have lost all 3, too, and find this time of year hard. I try to just take One Day At a Time and get through it. I was watching Christmas movies for awhile and they are nice but makes me think of what I'm missing with no family any more. I will binge watch some series to get myself occupied and my mind on something else at times. Do you have any pets? I have birds and a dog. My dog has helped me not to be as lonely yet still I am at sometimes more than others. I don't have any friends off line either. Well, I have one I speak to on the phone at times and I also call a telephone support line but it often is busy. Many of us with mental illness are lonely and have no one or next to no one in real life. You are not alone if that helps any.

I used to go out to movies alone but then got shamed about it and stopped going. I think I am over that though and may go back to see one or two in the future.

Anytime you want to chat I am here or will be. I stop by PC a few times a day.

You know what else I fear elevators if I have to go on one I make sure I am not alone Here we have Comcast they are terrible half of the time the remote doesn't work then sometimes u can't change the channel it gets stuck sometime but a lot of people have problems with there remote.I also hate it when the pix freezer,The last time this happened I had go to the back of my tv pull out the plug for ten seconds and go through the entire process of waiting for it to work.I am elderly actually will be 66 on Christmas day.I can hardly stand and yet we are expected to unplug the tv .What really gets to me is when they try to walk u through the problem half of the time I dont understand what they are talking about.

CAROL!!!!! 66!!!!! YOU NOT ELDERLY. 60's and even 70's these days isn't elderly. You don't know MacD on here do you. He thinks like an old man at 63. Sorry Mac, but you do. Sorry carol if you are incapacitated. That sucks. But you don't need to think old. Do the best you can with what you've got and accept the things you can't change. That's all we can do. Best wishes.
