So here I am, in my 40s, have a pretty darned good life, in good health, have a positive outlook on life, but I have no friends and no way to make any really. I've worked at home since moving to my neck of the woods over a decade ago. I left family and friends many states away in pursuit of a more quiet life and that is what I have gotten. No one from my past ever visits here because it is just too far away and everyone has their own busy lives, and even if they were to visit every now and again, it is still a very lonely place.
I have great neighbors but everyone works and they have their own lives and I am lucky if we see each other for a brief wave and a honk of the horn as our paths cross.
With gas as expensive as it is, and me being so rural (the nearest town is 20 miles away, one way), I don't have any incentive to get out there and even connect with anyone...not that I would know where to start. I do occasoinally go to a gym in the winter months, but there are no connections there to be made, as everyone is plugged into their music and you can tell they want their own private time. I have my husband and very young daughter and they are my world, but it would be so nice to talk to someone else about nothing for a change ;)
I can't believe how excited I am getting at the thought of visiting a therapist next week! I have OCD, kind of bad, and I'm looking for coping strategies. But mainly, I think I'm just looking for someone I can visit with, even if I have to pay them! How sad is that?!
