    Sorry you are feeling low 

    I know how it makes you feel when you are lonely.  Have you tried making the first move to contact family ? 

    I have the same issue I contact my mum most weeks but if I dont then she never contacts me . It's been 12 years since my dad passed away and my mum has called me only twice. 

    I just accept I have to make the contact 

    We are always around yo chat to and try do something to distract you from the loneliness

    Hi @lexidredge

    I'm sorry to hear this, hopefully the community can help cheer you up :) 

    It's certainly a hard time right now and I hope things improve soon for you. Have you received support from your GP so that you can effectively manage your mental health?

    So sorry to hear this.  Have you got your support network in place? I am manic so perhaps we could level each other out xxx

    hi @lexidredge

    not been on here for awhile. but popped on saw your post and thought I respond. I don't have much advice for you but sometimes its just nice for someone to stop and say HI, so here I am. 

    what sort of music do you like? I have taken to watching music channels on twitch it has a good community and best thing is you can just be you. it really depends on what music you like though as there is a lot of the same on there. I think it good as most of it is uplifting music so makes you feel good. 

    anyway just thought I say hi been long time reader of this community but rarely post. 

    all the best 
    Mark
