Depression Understood Forums

Anxiety and depression is a issue for me year round but this time of year is especially difficult for me. I'm under Dr. care and meds but that doesn't help with lonliness during the holidays.

Hi anx/dep-inkanas, welcome to the forums. Lonliness is a very common problem for many here. I hope you will feel less alone here. You should try our chat room and see if talking with others helps a bit. Chat is a great resource to meet peers and exchange thoughts and offer/receive support.
Sometimes I have found that doing specific volunteer projects can help with the lonely void. Is there any place you can visit during the holiday season?? My kids like to play cards with the elderly nuns that live nearby. I have found just visiting nursing homes or care facilities can brighten both sets of spirits. Local hospitals often have volunteers that read special books and visit kids.
Keep posting here and I hope things get a bit better for you.
Hugs
