I have no friends, my depression drove my partner away. I tried new meds and nothing changed. How are 30-somethings supposed to find new people when no one wants them???

Hi there,

I don't have any great advice sadly. But I just wanted to let you know that I can really appreciate the feeling of isolation and I'm looking for solutions to the problem too. I can tell you for sure that people are looking for you, it's just that finding friends seems to be tricky these days.

Here's what I'm trying. Firstly, I'm on here talking with people who understand some of the challenges. Secondly, I'm trying to develop some hobbies and interests so I can look at joining some clubs to meet people who share those interests. And I guess failing that I'm just going to try talking to more people and hope I meet some that I get along with really well I suppose.

Best of luck in your search.. I hope to catch you around here again sometime.

Cheers,

Bill.

Hi Catters,

You sound so lonely and down. Loneliness can be absolutely horrible...

I think Skary Bill wrote a lovely reply with some helpful suggestions, and a genuine sense of understanding. So perhaps you might like to consider some of those ideas...

I feel for you, and if and when you’re feeling up to, it would be great to hear how you’re doing.

Kind and caring thoughts,

Pepper
