I'm depressed.
There is no doubt about it.
I have no energy or desire to do anything.
Why? Can I blame it on Lupus? I dunno.
Partly, I guess.
It's such a vicious circle living with a chronic debilitating illness.
I am so very lonely.

I look forward to your alerts, but this one makes me very sad for you. I think we all have been there and understand what you are feeling. I'm always online if you need support in any shape or form, I'm just on the other side of your screen.
Love Kathy

I am beginning to understand where you are coming from. It's long journey to get to here.

I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. There are people out there, through AOL and elsewhere. Hope your loneliness will be made bearable soon.
(((((((((Lu dear)))))))))) depression is a monster, I know. And part of its damage is to make us feel isolated and alone, which grieves and hurts us even more. I am praying for you dear.
When I am depressed, I find myself choosing to be alone rather than to reach out to others. I don't take advantage of the opportunities I have to be with dear ones or friends. Instead, I want to crawl into a deep hole and pull the edges of it down around me to be invisible and alone. So I make the situation worse for myself. I tell myself that there are so many things I cannot do -- and it's true that there are many things the lupus and fibro limit for me -- but I also do not look around and see the other smaller adventures where I could be a participant.
Are there perhaps choices you are making that compound the effects of the depression and loneliness?
loving you

Luanne, is there a support group you could go to to share your health troubles with others and in the process also make caring friends who can be a support for you and help with your being lonely. Wher I live in SC, we have so many support groups listed every Sunday for you name it health problem, they have a support group. Trust you have discussed how down you are with your Doctor, he could surely help with the depression. Feel badly that you are going through all of this, know we care. Arlene (AJ)
((((Lu)))) I have been having the same problem - and no internet until yesterday at home. Can you blame it on the lupus? If that works, let me know, I'd like to blame it on the lupus also.
Miss ya,
