i hope you find a good group or two! yes it was a good experience. Having said all that I haven't got involved for ages, well not till before the last time I was unwell, but I'm feeling a bit better, so I will look at what is going on again. I find loneliness horrible, I get very lonely too, but |I seem to have felt lonely forever! Funnily enough more so in the summer months, I think its because the days are longer, so it feels like more time to fill, and everyone is out 'looking' like they are enjoying themselves out and about with family etc enjoying the weather and longer days and nights.
