More lonely than usual

Lately, I've felt more lonely than I have in a long time. I probably need to do more than just go to work and come home again, but I'm not sure what to do.

All my time at home, I'm pretty much alone. I'm feeling cut off from anything social. From any contact with real persons. From any friendly relationships.

By the time I get done at work, I'm just plain too tired to do much of anything else. I think that maybe I should join something or take Master Gardener courses or something. But rallying the energy to do something like that is beyond me right now.

My house is a mess and I look around and see so much that needs to be done, but I just can't muster the energy to do it. And sometimes I think, "Why bother? Who really gives a flip if the house is messy or not?"

I guess I'll get up from here and at least tackle one cleaning project. Maybe just doing that will brighten my outlook.

    Ann,
    Lack of energy could also be a sign of depression. Please be careful!
    When you get home try just working on the house for 15 minutes or even just straighten 1 drawer. I know for me, just seeing the "whole elephant" causes problems and I start think "who really cares".
    Love you muchly!

    Thanks, Marijo. I'll try your suggestion. I'm under high stress at work, for one thing, and I do feel overwhelmed at home these days.
