Feeling lonely and crying

I’m in a nursing home with severe neuropathy unable to walk anymore and have no family and some times cry all night from pain and loneliness. I sometimes wonder if I’m beyond help or if I can just find someone to talk to. I wonder if anyone else has it progressing over 40 years.

Foxylloyd, I am so sorry you are in that situation.

Are you able to get out at all?

Since you are able get online, do you at least interact with others via social media?

Can you share your experiences with others, on Mayo Connect, for example? There are many people here asking questions that you may be able to help with.

I know that helping others reduces my own sense of isolation.

Here's a way you can help me. Have a look at my YouTube channel videos about my stroke recovery. I would appreciate your comments and insights.

I'd tried this service here but I'd think there are similar services in the US and possibly even more so and for diverse needs. https://www.nicenet.ca/

I know neuropathy can be quite bad, isn't your info/help desk able to give some directions?

Doesn't some relaxation starting with deep breathing often has helped me to get thru my tooth pain. But that was a one off pain. No luck with Mayo Pain sites? Maybe start one? I'm sorry for your pain and hope you get thru it peacefully.
