Re: Slowly going into depression, Christi hang in

[Guest guest]

Christi-

You are not alone! I have been homebound and lonely since 2000!

Thank goodness I have a wonderful supportive significant other. But

all day - I'm alone, no friends, no support - just me, myself and

I. I try hard to entertain myself not to get too depressed.

I have called disability linkage line, churches in the area and no

one seems to have time to come and visit - just to talk. I can't go

to church so I don't belong to one - but I thought there must be a

stephans ministry available and someone would come and join me in

fellowship here at home for one time a month. But to no avail.

Part of it may be our ages.... I just don't know.

I finally qualified for a grant to get some cleaning and cooking

done in my home 2x a week. Praise God! So, that will at least be

someone in the house a few times a week.

But, again Christi, as Sharon said. Hang in there. Come in here...

chat and let it all out. It is good for you and it is good for

us. We need to know we are not alone either.

Respectfully,

wait for him to get home. Just to have someone to talk to.

Sharon, thank you for your kind words and in my medicated brain fog I did not

think to let them know I would like visitors. Oh well, live and learn. I am

doing 100% better today and want to thank everyone for helping me last night.

it is much appreciated.

Re: Re: Slowly going into depression, Christi hang in

Christi- Just wanted to share with you, I feel for you, and wish your church

was more supportive then just dropping a meal, have u hinted to them, that maybe

u would like someone to sit and visit once in awhile. I don't know what the

matter with people are today, but the bible does predict there will be a cooling

off of people caring about one another. I know when my g. mother was diagnoised

with terminal cancer, her church which she had been devoted to for yrs and yrs.,

cleaned the priest home, had him to dinner, fixed him meals and brought them to

his home, g.pop and her, were at church every a.m, and always volunteered for

bizarres etc. Well the priest did nothing for her, did not come and see her,

support her with her illness, and unable to attend church, it was very sad.

That year my brother also was dying from cancer they died 15 days apart, he said

to make sure that priest did not have anything to do with his service. Mom did,

but he

showed up and had the

nerve to get up and speak! I know this doesn't help with u feeling alone and

isolated but do know it can be the ignorance of others, that bring on uneeded

depression, when we aren't feeling well. I have been homebound since Dec. and am

not yet depressed, I have not seen anyone though except my husband, who is

great!, my family all lives away, but friends are to busy, and it does wear on

me sometimes that I have only this, which I am sooo glad I found to communicate

with people. Take Care, and hope u get to go back to work as you hope to find

at least company there. I am sorry your church does not know how to be more

compassionate, sometimes I think they just don't want to get that involved, it

is a shame, I had it happen to me years ago, and never went back there.

Thank you CJ. Sorry to hear you are having problems finding someone to visit

with you. Glad you have a cleaning person coming in, who knows you may even

like this person and strike up a friendship with them. Thanks for the kind

words.
