Lonely and depressed.

Scorpion0x17

I live by myself, and though I have two PAs that I see three times a week, and go out to clubs and events related to my hobbies and interests, I lack, and therefor crave, companionship.

Does anyone else feel this way?

And does anyone have any tips on how to cope with the feelings of lonliness and the depression that brings?

Also does anyone have any suggestions for practical solutions to this problem?

  • Hi, and welcome back! I have been missing your posts.

    Yeah, I can feel anxious when I am alone for long periods, and because I also struggle with making friends, let alone finding a partner, I cannot offer much advice on that front. However I do have a pen-pal who I got to know via Asperger United (do you receive the magazine?).  I also volunteer once a week at Age UK - volunteering helps with loneliness, as does reading books, visiting Internet forums like this one, and ensuring I get out and do something most days of the week so that I have a routine.
