i think you and i are in the same boat lol i have try to make friends but it seems they either dont have time for you or they dont want to become friends with you.that is what i found out over the past few years it seem like people have there own set of friends or they are married or they have there gf,bf,and they dont want any one else in there life.i to have a serious illness and i am a single father.and some time i feel depress like you do right know and i start to feel sorry for my self but you cant let your self do that to your self you need to keep your head up and stop feeling sorry about your self may be go out and volunteer and meet new friends that way do what you can do to get your self out of the house the more time you get out the more change you have of meeting that some one special in your life.
good luck

I know what you are going through from personal experience. It's possible to reconnect with old friends. I have. I took a risk and contacted them after many years of absence, and they amazingly wanted to be my friend despite my illness and limatations. As far as new pals go, that's more difficult. Maybe you could find either an online or in person support group for your illness.(Or maybe if you can't find one you could ask one of your doctors to give your name and contact info to someone going through the same illness.) You could find people and their families who truly understand what you are going through. Also church is a great place to meet people who tend to be less judgemental and more patient. Just be careful what church you join. There are some strange ones. Most of all be patient when you do start talking to more people. Friendships take time and trust and don't happen overnight. If you are up to it, maybe you could join some sort of club, like a book club, scrapbooking club, etc.

first off, go to a public place and either join in an open discusion and the intoduce your self or network through people you know already. they will know some one who knows some one who is related to some one else who could just be your best friend. just get out there and limit your time online. it really just encourages depression.

Just start up conversations with people. The best thing to do is to just be yourself.
