Feeling lonely

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Hi all,

I've abandoned all social media apart from a handful of contacts on Instagram, cut down on day to day social interaction and generally I'm very happy with this, feeling much more relaxed. I'm happy with life being just me and my wife and the dogs.

But I must admit I'm feeling lonely, especially with my diagnosis due to arrive over the coming days or weeks.

Feel free if you want to message me or reply here?

  • Have you and your wife considered dressing up in unusual clothing, going out, talking to people and pretending to be other people? I do that by myself sometimes but it's a lot harder to do on your own. I wish I had a significant other, but then again, sometimes they don't want to do the same things as you, so it may not work. Just an idea. If you pretend to be someone else, you don't have to feel the usual anxiety you have.
