The only person I really have to talk to is my husband but he works all day and when he gets done he is tired and doesn’t want to hear my nonsense. I don’t know where to turn to to make a friend. I just get so lonely sometimes.

Sorry you’re feeling lonely.
The disease seems to affect people differently. I don’t really have a desire now to be with people.
Does your husband know anybody? Like, could you invite people over for dinner or something?

Are there any clubhouses in your city for adults with mental illness? Those are great places to just hang out and make friends.

Try asking your mental health team if there aee any social groups you can attend.
Join a class or a group outside mh team.
Can also look online for people.

This site can tell you if you have a clubhouse in your area. I liked going to the clubhouse
Sorry to hear that.
I don’t have any close friends
So I understand the feeling.
Now that I live on my own instead of with family.
I feel somewhat more isolated than before.
And I don’t have the confidence to join an art group or meetup. Com but if you do it may be worth a try?
I’ve got @LilyoftheValley @anon61987434 @Zoe @Montezuma @StarCrazy @everhopeful @Owl82 just to name a few and so do you to keep me from feeling so lonely. Thank god for this place.

There is a club house in area but too far for me to get to and I don’t have anyone to drive me. Too expensive for uber.
Who am I kidding. Even if I did go somewhere to meet people, I don’t know how to talk to people or how to act around them.

If you have Medicaid, you can get free transportation there
I’ve noticed a lot of people here don’t have anyone in their lives, or very few people, myself included. You’re not alone in being alone.
I’ve never heard of that website, but it reminds me of a website that was mentioned in an outpatient group I was part of at the local hospital called https://www.meetup.com where you can form groups for anything and meetup, but I don’t know if I would feel comfortable going. I checked out your website and there isn’t a clubhouse all that close to me. I never did a meetup either.

My best friend loves going to meetups. She’s made lots of friends that way.
What about taking a bus? Google can map you the route.
If you want human interaction it sounds like somewhere you could at least try.
Also could look at volunteering somewhere?
Sorry to hear this @Owl82. It must be hard being alone all day, then wanting to talk to your husband but he’s too tired. Do you get any comfort talking to others on this site?
I used to take the bus a lot when I lived in my old city. I liked it, but we moved to the suburbs and now here there is no public transportation at all sadly 
I thought the other day about volunteering but I’m not reliable enough too do so mentally. Thanks for the suggestions:)
