    Hi and welcome to DWD .

    Can I just check, you say your first wife - can I assume that you’ve remarried? If so, how does your wife feel about your ex contacting you?

    Why do you feel alone? Has your low self esteem been affected by your ex contacting you? Have you told your family how you feel? When was the last time you had a medication review?

    Sorry for all the questions…..
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I have not remarried, I have not even divorced her yet as it's all very recent; I was just expressing that she was my first serious relationship, I probably should have phrased it better. I feel alone because I don't have any (non-online) friends, she was my only real social contact. My medication was reviewed only weeks ago and I have an appointment tomorrow.

    I don't mind answering questions.

    Hey, some of my closest friends are online

    Love, I’ve been where you are and it’s hideous. But, and I know you probably don’t want to hear this, the pain and sense of betrayal does ease over time. In the meantime, we are here for you

    I'm not meaning to devalue online friends, it just sucks not having any face to face interaction. Heck, I don't even hang out with my online friends anymore. Used to play videogames with my wife and some other folk, now my social interaction is saying hello to my mum.
