Hi Cala (& a wave to all),
I’m glad you saw your doctor the other day. But the whole issue with your meds does sound very challenging...
Oh Cala, I feel for you. The loneliness and feelings of monotony must be crippling. It must be so intense for you...
I think, & I’m sure you know this anyway, you really do need sustained/regular face-to-face meaningful contact with someone in your physical community. If not, at least a phone call...
Sigh, I think connection is the real antidote to your loneliness. I‘m not saying anything groundbreaking here though...
I believe restrictions are lifting in your state. So perhaps you can maybe start to slowly venture out again. I know it can be a tricky balancing act of social distancing/covid risk management versus our need for human interaction, but perhaps there is a middle ground?
For example, visiting a local cafe for takeaway coffee and a chat with the baristas then sitting in a park to enjoy your coffee?
I also recall your 2 city friends who seemed to be keen to chat with you on the phone last time. I wonder, would you consider reaching out to them again, and perhaps even proposing regular phone calls e.g. once each week or two?
Sorry, I don’t mean to overwhelm you with ideas and I’m not trying to tell you what to do. It’s just that I feel loneliness is at the heart of your struggles, hence my going on about trying to increase your connections 😉
Kindness and care,
Pepper
