I have been on disability for a couple of years now. I have a son who is a freshman in highschool. I am not legally married, but my significant other (man) and I have been together for 8 years, so "common law" is kinda there. But, since I got sick in 2007, I had to give up my carreer, and hobby (bowling-league). So now I have no life. I have NO friends. And my ~husband~ has always gone after work to happy hour to unwind, which brings him home around 730-8pm. I'm ok with that most of time but would like to be able to have someplace for me to be able to go and meet some people and get to others and hopefully get some friends. I can't do anything physical because of my illness but would like to get out of the house and have a friend to talk to now and then. I am 35yrs old. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear some. Thank you.

dm1kim,
I am sorry for your situation. You need to reach out, (as you are doing here), locally. There are tons of things to do in the area. First, think about what you like, then find a club or an activity in that area of interest. Go to the library, join a book club, there are many free clubs and activities.

Volunteer someplace. You will be so blessed! There are also many church groups and activities......many that are well within the comfort zone of someone not used to church. Check out the activity section of the newspaper.

You may not hit a home run the first time, but get out there and try. Life is an adventure and there are people all over just like yourself that are looking to get to know you.....

Good luck! Frank
