Im a regular in a few pubs but i end up drinking on my own and its pretty boring.
I have beaches nearby and a small park with a duck pond but its nothing i havent experienced before.
I just cant seem to find anything that interests me or that i enjoy. It feels so bad that im like this
I get it, sometimes its hard to fill the day. Iāve been off for 2 weeks and Iāve been doing a lot of walking. Usually around 3 hrs a day but I am blessed to live close enough to a few walkable great walks but I tend to stick to the same one that is a tough walk.
There are a lot of groups popping up for people to meet other people for days out etc (Wild Wanderers is one I follow).
Have you got people in your life? I am really anti social and very introverted but I do like a bit of company every now and again.
When Iām feeling down the sea or the ālandā is where I go to feel better. I must put some pics up.
It might seem obvious, but thereās a friendly community here, and youāre always welcome to take part in the games etc. Or just chat in the lounge.
Have you spoken to your GP about how you are feeling? What youāve just written sounds very much like you are struggling with depression. I would recommend speaking to a counsellor if you havenāt already, itās up to you but Iād suggest talking to someone about how you feel.
Donāt feel guilty about feeling this way, I often feel like this and then make it worse by feeling guilty because I have a lot of good things in my life and donāt seem to be able to appreciate them.
I have been suffering with depression for a while but nothing seems to be helping
I understand buddy but i can only do it for so long
I know the feeling, Iāve lost interest in a lot of things that used to excite me, the motivation to do something drains away very quickly. The main recreation Iāve always enjoyed is exploring the world around me and Iām still discovering new places to visit by looking at maps and the internet. England is very fortunate in having a lot of public footpaths one can wander around. Mrs S has been doing her own searching recently and weāve been going to a few new parks in the Manchester area, went to Boggart Hole Clough for the first time this morning. I find it very satisfying when driving about to recognise places, know whatās down the different roads and across the fields etc. I suppose it makes me feel more at home in the world.
Each to their own and whether that means staying in, saving money and binging box sets or hitting the high street and binge drinking beer in a bar ā¦ itās entirely up to you!
Lockdown has certainly changed many of our lifestyles, we donāt tend to go āout outā since Covid hit not because of the virus but more because we are aware just how expensive āhalf a pint of lager and a packet of crispsā is in a bar these days compared to a six pack and a take away shared from the comfort of home whilst we Netflix and chillā¦
Itās each to their own, my only concern would be if you start feeling panicky about leaving the house then I would suggest pushing yourself to do soā¦
I personally could stay at home forevermore but I know itās not good for my mental health so we do try to get out now and then.
I do however find myself scrolling through the dreaded social media and comparing and contrasting our lack of social life to that of others around us but I realise social media is just a snippet, not the big picture.
Itās hard to say really but Iād suggest maintaining a HEALTHY balance and so long as YOU are happy , who cares ?!
My anxiety is terrible. I want to go out, but when Iām out I want to come straight home again 
I canāt win 
And when Iām out, I donāt like leaving hubbyās side, itās like heās my security blanket. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest, and with my autism, I donāt like being out of my comfort zone. I must get on his nerves, cos I get on my own bloody nerves 
But he is so understanding, and knows what to do to calm me.
I love going down to the coast, I donāt know what it is, but I just find it so calming being there. Wish I could go all the time, but hubby takes me when we can. Heās taking me next weekend, for the weekend just us 2.
I have to push myself to go out, even though I donāt like it, otherwise it wonāt do my mental health any good, and Iāll drive myself more crazy 
than I already am Without having hubby by my side I donāt know what Iād do, or where Iāll be.
I understand and im sorry to hear others are struggling too.
Im being forced to take my holiday days this week and half of me is annoyed as i know my colleagues wont do the jobs i do and when i get back there will be even more stress for me.
I dont feel i can win these days. I cant find anything to do and everything im my life has lost its point.
I think you may need to speak to your GPā¦ it sounds like you are struggling with depression,
Nothing is working for me.
People dont seem to want to know me, im pretty much alone in all things
If I was on my own Iād go on some coach holidays, either abroad or places in the UK I donāt know. My parents find them pretty cheap, there are other people on the holiday to chat with and usually a number of outings are organised so you donāt need to work out what do to or how to get to the places yourself. There might be some last minute bargains.
I just had a look and the Spice UK group is still going. I was a member for a few years in the 1990s and it was well worth the money. They arranged loads of different activities each month, sent a booklet with them all in, and I just picked what I wanted to do, paid and went along. There were all sorts of things, some adventurous and sporting and others more social, at a range of prices. I remember enjoying caving, sports car, go kart, off road and tank driving, pistol and clay pigeon shooting, archery, orienteering, holding tiger cubs (scratchy!), theatre visit (comedy), group meal out (with Chinese Elvis), canoeing, archery, abseiling, treasure hunt and assault course round coal mine. It wasnāt intended to be a singles club and my wife came on some of the events, but was very easy to talk to other members.
Wow, this sounds so like me! I get really anxious if I havenāt left the house before lunchtime (no idea why!) but once Iām out I often feel too anxious and want to go home! I find that open areas like the coast (although I live as far from the coast as itās possible to be) or lakes, nature reserves etc where there are very few competing noises are much better for me. When I visit the coast I feel like itās more open and I feel less trapped, I think itās something about knowing there is nothing but ocean on one side 
My husband is also very understanding thankfully, I think I annoy myself more than I annoy him!
I do find I feel more relaxed with no people in sight, donāt need to watch for what theyāre doing or how to interact with them.
Im really struggling. Got time off work but feel worse then i have. Really dont know why i exist.
Havent heard of that before
Look them up, youāll get support from them. x
