Hi I'm Jill I'm 26 from md and married. I have no friends and I'm not working right now. I deal with depression and shyness. Had it all my life and it has stopped me from living a better life. Im always sad and I'm so lonely. Wish i had someone to talk too and all I have is my dogs.
If anyone on here wants to email back and forth that would be great. I just want one person in the world to talk to and share with and i can't even find one that wants to give me a chance.
Thanx
Jill
Jill,
You are not alone. There are many of us just like you.
I am sure there are a few people who would enjoy being an e-mail buddy. If it doesn't upset your husband, please feel free to private message me for my e-mail address.
Also, have you tried to go out and meet new people? You might want to try volunteering for something. Then, there’s the website meetup.com, where you can find local groups in which you might be interested in joining.

hi jill!
i am sorry to hear about your situation, but i think it is great that you are hear to talk and we are here to offer support. I go through waves of being social then being very introverted. everytime i get nervous about meeting new people or trying to get out there, i remember what a friend told me a long time ago. He said that he will go up and talk to anyone (at this time it was more about girls), and he didn’t mind if they weren’t interest because he said he wouldn’t be any worse off in life, he would be at the same place, so he would rather keep trying. So i remember this when i go out and try to talk to people. sometimes its really hard and maybe no one will want to talk but there will be that one person that will become a friend.
Sorry for the long story, hope maybe that might help with getting out there. LuvsHeadMeds also has great ideas about volunteering to meet people.
Good luck! and keep us updated!
Jill,
Meetup is a great place to find group activities that may interest you. I have used the site before and had tons of fun with the group.
Jill feel free to message me anytime you want. I work from home, go to school online, and tend to my kids as well. I understand the feeling of loneliness....but you are not alone.
Keep posting....
Hi, my name is Christine. I am a new grad, Registered Nurse. I am very depressed since I cannot find a job, and my boyfriend isn't very supportive on me leaving to find a job elsewhere. He thinks that a long distance relationship can break us up. We have been together for 7 years now, and it's very hard for me to leave my hometown to find a job far away. I still live with my parents, and I'm almost 24. I am very lonely since my friends have their own lives and I am not as close to them as I once was. My boyfriend told me to wait here until I find a job. But how long should I wait? I know some people from my school who waited 1 year and longer to find jobs, since most places are only hiring experienced nurses. I am growing restless, bored, and more depressed as time goes by. I feel stuck. I want to start living my life, a life that I have always dreamed about. I want to be successful, independent, but most of all, I want to be happy. If you have any advice, please share. I am also open to anyone who would like to be friends. Thank you.
