I am really unhappy what should I do???

Question

I am 33 jobless on disability pension freindless and oh so lonely any suggestions?

Answer 1

what's the extent of your disability? I have a friend who is disabled but can get around, he and I, attend Toastmasters on a weekly basis. Join a club, create a book club that could meet at your house. Start a home business to supplement your income.

Answer 2

Anyone would get depressed after being sequestered in the house for a certain amount of time. I don't know the extent of your disability, but there must be something you can do to feel useful and a part of the larger community. Take classes? Volunteer? Join a support group? You have to find a way to connect outside of the home, or things will remain the same - lonely. Chin up and best of luck to you.

Answer 3

Talk to your doc about a referal to a counselor. It sounds like you are in a viscious circle -- lonely, sad, not up to making friends, therefore lonely and feeling trapped. That's a tough one to get out of on your own. A therapist is a good place to start. With a good one, you can vent the stuff you need to vent and s/he will help you use what's inside to regain your confidences and sense of healthy being. As that happens, it'll be easier to find some group activities and being around more ppl while you're feeling better will lead to friends and relationships. It all starts with you. Good luck.

Answer 4

I agree with the volunteer thing, or joining an organization. Life has dealt you a tough hand, but no one likes a self-pitying grouch (those are the exact words my mom told me). Not that you are a grouch or self-pitying, but do you get what I mean? You have to demonstrate to others that yes, you are differently abled, but you aren't going to let it get you down. Find your best qualities and emphasize those. Do you have a big smile? A great laugh? Are you funny, kind, a good listener? Everyone is good at something, or several somethings.

And don't be hard on yourself.
