Hi there @seven1164  🙋

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so isolated and lonely at the moment. I can relate to this, as well as your struggles just getting through each day. You mentioned that you have two dogs - I'd love to hear more about them - their breed, age, names and personalities. I'll also tag @Arizona who has a very photogenic pug as a companion. Welcome to the forum, RedHorse🌹🐴

I'm so pleased you have been so uplifted by the replies to your post @seven1164.  I know what you mean.  There have been times when I have been so very low and with just a few replies, I can feel my mood start to lift and sometimes even having a chuckle.  It's absolutely amazing.  

We really do care here.  Now you have our support, you must start to take small steps towards challenging yourself to do a little bit more each day.  Just a little is enough.

Take care of yourself and work on your surroundings a little too, if you can, because that can be uplifting too.

Sending best wishes.

Hi @seven1164 , I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so sad and lonely. I have a sore ear and a sore throat, and I'm feeling a bit irritable at the moment, and I have to go to bed now because I'm driving to Melbourne tomorrow. I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I'm glad you are feeling better after chatting with everyone here.

Hi and welcome, @seven1164 ! 

I'm glad you've reached out and got some support here. Am  wondering if you have professional support for your depression? Like a counsellor / psychologist / meds / a trusted GP to talk to? 

I also have agoraphobia too, so would welcome a chance to talk about it with someone, if that's something you'd like to do. 

Hope you enjoy the forums. A handy tip is if you type @ and click on a name in the drop-down box, that person will receive a notification and won't miss your reply. 🙂

I just wanted to say that I read your post @seven1164 

Welcome! There are always people here to chat to and it has made a huge difference to my life.

I wish the same for you.

Hi @RedHorse @NatureLover @Historylover @Arizona @Dimity 

Hope there's some joy in your day everyone.

I'm extremely tired.

Meeting a new gp this morning, as my trusted long term one has gone. It's not easy to find a mental-health friendly one that you can feel comfortable with but it's so important, so the search begins.
