Isolation and Trust Issues

[The People]

We hear ya. Going through a lot of this ourselves; especially since moving to the city. It is a hard place to make friends so we spend more and more time alone. Especially since we stopped working. We have also realized that, due to the dark place caused in part by all of the physical stuff, we pushed old friends away as well. One was quite rude about it when we called her on stuff. We try getting involved in things but it turns disasterous or expensive in most places. Church helps although there have been a few run ins there of late. We have never felt this alone in a long time. I think it is because we are not working which really sucks. I wish I had warm words of wisdom. I know you have volunteered in the past. Is that a possibility again? Something small with little noise? That is what we have done. We have been at once for over 2 years but we think it is time to move on. The other is trade off for yoga time. That is a quiet place as we have to go before classes start. We do cleaning which has had an amazing impact on our home life. We are actually working on cleaning our home. We used to get really overwhelmed by it but we just do a bit at a time and because we clean in a place where there are usually a few people around it feels safe. And actually meditative. The yoga room is long and we spend a long time just running the broom up and down. We play music on the IPod. It helps a lot.

Anyway, giving you a whole lot of nothing here. I do hope you find an answer that works for you.
