I am struggling with loneliness, and feeling very depressed. I live alone in a unit , and try and spend as much time out as if I go home I will probably just sleep, to try and stop my depression. There is not much room in a small apartment. If I had a house you could move around

Hi there @Palmie ,
Thank you for sharing. I know you mentioned you spend as much time out to avoid feeling so alone.
Are you part of any groups of clubs?
What are some things you are interested in?
I used to spend a lot of time at my local library. They have activities and groups there as well as craft classess etc.
I guess it depends on what you are interested in.

Quite a few of us live alone. I'm in Vic.
Do you have favourite places to go to?
