I like being alone, except in the evening, then I feel better knowing my husband is home. But I don’t want to go out on visiting my children and grandchildren. I love peace and quiet. I love to read! I keep the house clean and that takes a lot of time. But if I could, I might just stay in my bedroom most of the day. I also overeat from dinner on. I’m on a few antidepressants, but they only work up to a certain degree. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks. ( I’m 73 years old)

I also love to read! Congratulations on your clean house; I aspire to be more like you!
I enjoy walking my dog twice a day in the neighborhood. It’s a great excuse to exercise and see other dog walkers, children, contractors, people in their yards and the goings on in the community. If you don’t want a pet in your home, I’ve also read that people suffering from social isolation volunteer at a pet rescue facility where animals need love, attention and training.
If pets aren’t your cup of tea, what about forest bathing? The purpose is twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to screen burnout and inspire people to reconnect with and protect the forests. Forest bathing is not just for the wilderness-lover; the practice can be as simple as walking in any natural environment and consciously connecting with what’s around you.
Just some thoughts.
