    Depression and lonliness

    Depression Mental Health
    I have struggled with depression for many years. leaving a trail of bad decisions and consequences behind me. I have moved to a new area with my wonderful husband, son and daughter. beautiful home but so lonely and depressed. Every day comes and goes like the last. I cry in private when i am alone, which is all day every day. I just want someone to be my friend.

    Hi my name is Ally and I'm hearing you as I'm exactly the same way. Every day I wake up and have the shakes, can't breathe properly and wake up shitty before I even get out of bed. I sleep for at least 10 to 12hours a day, I hate myself  now can't find  much that makes me laugh except Mrs Browns Boys can't wait for season 3. When I do laugh,it's very short lived then back to being sad.May I say that you have already made the first hurdle, Don't give up on life you now have a friend . hope to hear from you when you get a chance. I will think of you every morning so please know that you are not alone,.from your new friend.xxx

    My research interests include immunology and the mechanisms of amyloid formation. The latter has implications for people who are dealing with Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease … View Profile

    It might help if you reflected on activities which you have enjoyed: reading, cooking, playing bridge, gardening, whatever…

    Then check out where you live for groups who share those interests.

    A commonality of interests can often lead to the development of friendship.
