I fully understand your situation as I am in the same boat. Please do not be discouraged. I will be seeing a psychologist to help me sort out my problems, maybe you could try too. You are just wonderful that you can do everything yourself. Give yourself credit for that. Maybe meet one person at a time and have coffee and just talk. Since you are in a 55+ community, there must be someone in the similar situation. Go out for a walk on a sunny day, you will find it will cheer you up especially seeing people walking their dogs. I met some nicest people on my daily walk. Spring is around the corner, then you can really enjoy the days outdoor which should cheer you up. Please keep me posted!

Walking alone is something I cannot do yet. I can still here my mother screaming at me that I will always be a lone wolf. My sane mind sees others walking alone and I know it's not a big deal. But when I try to do that I feel everyone is pointing their finger at me and saying "Look at that lone wolf." I know they really are not paying attention to me but that doesn't help. I have a good therapist and we are going to try and rewrite my past life to see if I can erase it. The odd thing, though, is that I used to be a race walker and I did this every day after work. I was alone but I was in my zone and it didn't bother me. I firmly believe that all those years of race walking have helped me to be so old and doing so well.
