Looking for Company
Watch this postI am new here...66 years young, most of my family and all of my friends have passed....Covid has been difficult, being home for almost 6 months now alone....
I have two grown daughters, they are my only conversation. They have lives of their own and I want them to live them....but the isolation is getting to me now...

I am in the same position, hence me joining SS today.
I had to sell my home of over 30 years a while ago , so do not even live in a familiar place - trying to remain positive and forward looking but it is hard. The isolation is now getting to me now, it feels never ending.
LOL ..I get that 66 going on 26....and love every minute of it....I was dx with PTSD many, many years ago..it's under control most of the time, but I can still be triggered....anxiety has bitten me too...but I was sick with the Epstein Barr virus for 10 months before Covid and was actually only up and around for 2 months when we were told to stay in again...so I'm sort of used to it now...yep...my house is as clean as it could be. I had to stop thinking that because of the virus I had plenty of time and got moving...trying always to stay positive...
Hobbies? that's a tough once, I have spent most of my life, married, raising kids and working.......so really haven't had too much time on my hands until now...since I retired , I have volunteered, taking a few classes, gone to lectures, have met a few guys who turned out to be good friends...they are all gone now....for different reasons.....so I really have only my two daughters to talk to...my oldest is very private ...and my youngest is really having a hard time with Covid..she has a 4 1/2 year old who she is trying to keep busy..and is in a really depressed place ...so I don't bother her ....anyway..there is my life history..share some of you sometime...
