2 sides to this OP, yes you need to make some friends but your OH sounds crap- checked out of family life and your relationship (from your brief description).

Yes, I agree your OH needs to help more. That might help improve your mental health. Do you have family close by that can help?

I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. Maybe you can do a hobby which isn’t too physically taxing? Preferably one on a drop-in basis so you can go when you feel well enough and don’t beat yourself up if you can’t. It does take effort and it’s hard to make the first step but you can do it. Social contact is important and if you make a friend from it, well that’s a bonus.
