Feeling alone

[Unicorn]

I am 59 and feel all alone. I have no close family or friends. I suffer anxiety, panic-attacks, depression, to name a few. At am at a loss at what to do. I don’t drive, I don’t have a job, it is so hard to meet people to form a friendship. I am hoping by reaching out here, I may find others that know how I’m feeling and wouldn’t mind commenting.I do have a husband but it is hit and miss when it comes to him giving support. I feel like an old lady with nothing. Thank you for reading.

Hey Unicorn. 

Firstly, you should be really proud of yourself for having the courage to reach out to people for support. 

With your husband, is he a social person? Why don’t you try and do little date nights , even if it’s at the comfort of your own home? I appreciate when your anxious and suffer from panic attacks and depression , going out can be daunting. So why don’t you get a blanket , your favourite snacks and drinks , and do an activity or simply just talk, laugh and reminisce! There’s paint by numbers you could do, you could play a board game or cards - what did you both like doing and connect on before you were married ? If you feel open to it you could go for a picnic somewhere - even if no one’s around but fresh air can do your mind, mental health and relationship wonders ! 

what hobbies or activities take your mind of things when you’re feeling low or anxious? Reading? Craft? Walks? Talking to others ? Let’s write a list and start getting you in a place where you feel less alone. 

we are all in this journey together, you are not alone ❤️ 

I’m excited to hear from you to see how I can help. Xx

Hi Unicorn,

Hope you are feeling better. Really appreciate you for reaching out here and expressing your concerns.

I understand it is very scary to meet new people especially when you are feeling anxious. You can start small by going for short walks or going to the local library if you like reading books, that way you will be out of the house and slowly build your confidence. The first step is always difficult, but you will feel nice eventually.

If your husband likes to drive, you can try going on long drives, listening to your favourite music that will help calm your mind.

Please always remember you are not alone, we are all here to support you.

Take care.
