I have moved home 23 times, I feel like I don't belong anywhere.
I lost all my family in unbelievably tragic circumstances - I have no one. I am long-term unemployed due to ptsd. I have a couple of friends but I feel so lonely & out of it. Getting out of bed is a triumph for me. I hate my life. No meaning, no purpose, nothing & no one to belong to. Therapy is my only highlight. I wonder why I was put on this earth? Aibu?

Just come across this. I don't know about you beliefs but you right church could offer you a family - not all (some are full of happy families), but where I go is full of life's misfits, we've all got backstories and we are accepted unconditionally, some are religious, others have very little faith but like the community. I work there are my merry band of volunteers are lovely people but they really only have each other. We are a really eclectic bunch and are fully inclusive

I'm sorry to hear this. I would definitely think about volunteering even just a couple of hours every other week or something, maybe at an animal sanctuary walking a dog or somewhere. I found my depression got a lot worse when I was unemployed and then I struggled to find work because I didn't want to see people so it's a vicious cycle. If volunteering is too much right now I would try and do what a PP said about doing a daily walk around the local park or something. Also as the poster above said a lot of religious people have a great connection with people from the same church etc

And you can always talk on here too. I see lots of people posting about tv series or asking other peoples opinions on something in the news, so it can be just small chit chat.

If I was in your position I would adopt or foster a cat or dog. Animals IME are totally accepting of the person who looks after them and give you a structure to the day in that you have to get up to feed/ clear up/ walk them. The also bring you in contact with other similar minded folk and increase your social interaction. Otherwise volunteering would give you a purpose that you are helping others by your efforts.
