Re: Isolation and loneliness
Hi there Kimba
You are very brave to share your true feelings here with complete strangers. That's definitely courage!!! Im new to this..youre the first person to respond to for me. Im also an empty nester and I can so relate to isolation and loneliness however my experiences are somewhat a little different. Happy to chat.

Re: Isolation and loneliness
Your honesty @Kimba27 is inspiring and a good sign you are trying to do your best. Well done for reaching out.
Maybe a good first step is finding a Telehealth service either on the 1:1 peer sessions with Sane's Recovery Club or a Video Telehealth service where you can have regular catch ups with a qualified Nurse Practitioner for guidance and understanding. Seeing you love the TV it could be a great way to gain that confidence in the comfort of your own home. These little steps can have big movements forward.
There are some great people out there who dedicate their lives to helping people for whatever they face. Find someone that makes you feel warm and comfortable, it could take time but there will be someone out there that you match with. Along with here and the great advice received so far creates a nice web of social interactions you can find what you are aiming for.
