Having lived alone for 12 years,due to divorce I have become
anxious,panicky and lonely.I am 75 and in good health.I love the Summer and there are lots of activities for me to do,but now I feel bereft.I pace around my house and flit from one thing to another.Yes ,I have been to GP,had talking therapy,which was hopeless,and I joined WI,U3a,and still can’t find my niche.This is a result of Covid pandemic,I’m sure.

That’s wonderful news, thank you so much for telling us. You sound brighter already! Well done, it can be very difficult to motivate yourself to make changes I know! Hope you stay on GN. ?

I would like to thank everyone for their great ideas and advice,empathy and support.I do not feel as alone now. What a wonderful bunch of friends we are!
Some of the suggestions I have done already…I researched my family tree,which was fascinating. I have taken up crown green bowling, that’s great fun, and I have applied to be a helper at the local Red Cross charity shop.My dbs check has been done so I can go back into my local primary school to help there (COVID permitting!) .I am a retired teacher and went into school to help before lockdown. I will keep reading your messages ,refer to them ,and take your advice when I can.Thank you all…Oh,my daughter has a new puppy ,so I can walk him during the day. I am ticking off the list of activities and keeping up with reading and phoning friends and family who are some distance away.

Excellent news
