Absolutely true! Days seem to drag by and the hopelessness feels so oppressive. I understand that completely. Can I tell you what helped me with months and years going by where I felt consumed by that hopelessness. I didn't give up on other people. Always hoping to meet someone who could make a difference. I started initially being a helper, a volunteer. Showing up and helping other people helped me take full stock of my own situation and realize it was NOT as bad as I'd made it in my head. So that really helped me with that. Also I'm a pretty introverted, shy person so communicating with like minded people allowed me to make friends. Good friends, who could cheer me up on a rough day, or make me laugh. That ALSO has helped with that hopeless feeling. So my advice is find a cause you are passionate about and volunteer to make a difference there. You will make the world a better place, make your outlook brighter, and meet cool new people you may really like!

I will try that as soon as we move and get settled. We are moving back to my hometown. We will move on April 15th and I am very concerned about not staying busy and not become a recluse again. Thanks for your answer.I will add you to my team if I figure out how😆

I have found volunteering to be a incredible way to look past your own issues and give to those in need. Agreed, it is also a great way to meet like minded people.

Sometimes it feels that way. Some days go by kinda quick because I've slept half the day. Though I haven't done that in awhile. I've been trying to keep myself busy lately. I give rides to friends that don't have a car. People have been needing to go places everyday this past week.
