How do you deal with loneliness?

I’m so sorry I turn 70 in less than weeks. No friends because I was in Australia for 20 years, after husband passed away I came back to the USA and went to work then I had my very first flare and going on 2 years now still a daily battle and depression kicked in. Yes I have family near by but I feel like I am intruding on their lives, so I sit here along

Do you have access to a primary care doctor? Asked for a visit and go over your depression with him. There are excellent medications out there to help with depression.
And there are many things you can do lifestyle wise to help you also. You are 70 do you have access to a senior center? If so they have a lot of actitivies and consulers to help you.
Maybe consider writing your family and let them know how you feel if you think you are intruding on their lives. You may be surprised but they will never know of your depression if you do not reach out to them.
