Hello people,
I'm a male in my 30s from the greater Sydney metropolitan area.
A touch under a decade ago I received a physical disability which greatly altered my general mobility, the activities I can participate in and has left me with quite serious chronic pain, from this I developed secondary depression which officially I was told was classified as a 'severe clinical depressive disorder' or some such.
Being in such a position I cut myself off from friends and social contact for many years due to reasons a lot of people here could probably relate to however now I'm managing things a bit better but find myself with a desire to meet new people but no real method to do so.
In some ways I feel like I have forgotten how to make friends.
In an effort to extend my social circle I took a trip to a local "Men's Shed" and whilst they were nice people and there's the ability to talk about common interests (DIY/etc) I found the generation gap immense (30s vs 60/70s).
I think one of my biggest obstacles at the moment is that I do literally nothing of a day and many of the things that I think would interest me (certain volunteer roles, etc) are unavailable due to my physical limitations.
In addition to the above I also suck at choosing usernames when signing up for websites.
Well, yeah, I guess that's my rambling disjointed introduction.
