I'm currently recovering from a knee surgery. This time of immobility and boredom makes me realize how depressing my situation is. I have no one taking care of me, only few people actually inquiring about the surgery and how I'm doing. I feel alone and hopeless. It seems impossible for me to form meaningful relationships and live a normal life. I have to go through everything alone. Why is it so hard to make friends?

Hi MountainBoy—
It’s difficult making friends, but just starting with talking with people helps. On the other hand, if you’re stuck at home unable to freaking move then you get the added pleasure of going stir crazy with cabin fever in complete solitude. That right there is a recipe for depression that no amount of TV or RPG can fix... Anyway, there are some very smart people on these boards—certainly smarter than I am...and what they say might actually be helpful and useful. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
