Isolation

Hi, my name is Rich.

I isolated most of the day yesterday and this has become a pattern for me. It leads to depression, feeling all alone with no one to talk to.

I am going to try and make some changes to my routine so that I get out and am around people more. I know this will be good for me.

Isolation comes naturally to me. I learned it early and often let my fear of people and social interaction rule me. But I have resources, including those on this message board, to help me out of the pit of isolation.

Thanks for listening, Love
Rich

I isolate a lot. But there are times when we need to be around other people. I do this when I go shopping and to the doctor. I do have some friends but I don't see them much.

I am glad you see you have resources. Keep up the good work...

Hugs, Karen...

Rich, Do you have a dog? I find that taking my dog to the dog park is the best way to socialize without having to make complex relationships. I remember once you said that you play online cards. Have you considered looking for a meetup dot com group near you with similar interests?
