How do you cope with loneliness?

You are very interesting, Wikid. I like reading your posts and have found your input on my threads valuable.

I was initially going to post that in addition to being lonely and not able to focus, you are wrong a lot -- in reference to your statement about not being interesting, but thought you might not think it was funny, so I lead with the nice stuff first.

Wikid - I find you interesting. Could you go do one thing out of the house a day? Go to a lecture or lunch with a friend or anything like that? Just to get out for an hour or two?

Wow. Talk about time healing things. I wrote the aforementioned post on April 11th. I had started titrating off my medications on the 8th. Since that was written I have only slept the day away a few times. I still rarely leave the house/yard, but have found myself painting again. I am spending a lot more time in the yard with the dogs. I also walk them down to the beach several times a week. I don't have any friends, but I have applied for several volunteer opportunities. One of them is at the wildlife center, I will have to take a class in the fall to help out there. So I now have a goal.
