    Hi @lesleys1963 I am sorry you are not in a good place. Have you spoken to your GP to see what help he is able to give you?

    You could also speak to the Samaritans. You do not have to be suicidal to get in touch with them. If you need someone to talk to they will listen. They will not judge or tell you what to do. You can call them any day or night free from any phone 116 123.

    https://samaritans.org

    Please take care of yourself.

    unfortunately no friends but a daughter he's not that understanding doesn't quite understand Mental Health I guess ..

    i am practically a recluse and lived like this seems like forever.

    i am not good at making friends as i do not go out , plus i have had so many neighbours which i thought and hoped they were friends, only to find out they were talking things of me.
