I have suffered from depression since my 20's and have always felt pretty isolated but when my fiancee died 2 yrs ago I have been beset by a loneliness that at times is unbearable. I have two cats who have kept me somewhat sane in very difficult times. But I ache for the intimacy of someone who I can tell anything to. I am still enraged that he died on me. But mostly I just having someone there.

hi dee;

you are so right about cats. i have to type one handed because my 26lb tuxedo cat is on my lap. he's purring so loudly you can probably hear him. for the first few years i had hin he never purred or was a lap cat. but ever since my fiancee died 2yrs ago he has been alternating with my gray one keeping close to me.  Today is the first time i have been out of bed sice fri. very very tough few months. just started p/t job but i still won't be able to pay mt rent or bills. also no money for oil...i don't remember felling this hopeless in years, rolling pennies to get cat food.

hope your having a better day                            armaden
