    I'm in a similar situation in that I'm usually alone for 7/8 hours a day, but for an extrovert like me, it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't know what changed or how to change it. I do my study, my cross stitch and I perhaps see a friend 1/2 times a week, but I'm ok. Maybe Its the dogs?
    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 think because as christians we are taught that you are never alone with God. I know prayer can be a great comfort when your alone it can help with negative thoughts, but it must still be pretty bad paula with the pain you go through?
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

    You stopped me in my tracks there. You're right, I am never alone. I talk to God all the time and didn't even realise it

    I'm a very practical person and, although I do have pain all the time, I manage it practically. I've learnt to manage and look after myself. My pain consultant recently wrote to my gp that I was managing daily life well .and he's right. It's when my depression and anxiety takes over that I struggle to cope
