I’m 50 my children are almost all grown up my husband is a work alcholic and I work from home.
I’ve never really had my confidence I’ve had a huge weight problem my whole adult life and chronic ibs I’ve tackled my weigh and lost 6 stones but I can’t travel far as ibs so it’s made me withdraw into my own world which is lonely.
I had a childhood friend last year we fell out as she got angry she was taking drugs and drinking lot nd kept having ago at everyone and saying horrible things behind everyone’s back to me. We parted ways after 48 years friendship.
I have a friend she’s 15 years older than me but she always wants to rush back to her husband when we meet.
So locally there’s a friendship group meeting up tomorrow mainly women 30-60 a coupe men it’s to make new friends I always plan to go but never do. 6-8 are constant meters and are all close and there’s 2-3 new ones going I just feel daunted going and don’t seem to manage to brave it :(
It’s so hard when you have a health problem to make friends esp as I can’t travel who wants a friend who can only meet locally ?
