Struggling with Loneliness and Chronic Illness

Feeling so lonely and trapped inside. My body is always in pain and the frequency of the bathroom has become nonfunctional within the last two years. I miss my old life before I got so sick. Does anyone have any specific suggestions on how to feel less lonely while trapped inside???

Absolutely relate to being stuck at home. I’m sorry to hear you’re having a hard time. Things I personally have tried to do are to fill up a lot of my time with one-person hobbies like reading, playing cozy games, picking out documentaries that are very interesting, raising low maintenance plants, and opening the blinds to remind myself there’s other people just outside my window!

I completely relate. I feel like I am losing myself more every day. I try to text or call anyone who understands on the really bad days. Other than that, I watch a lot of tv, entertain myself with my cat 🐈, and if I am having an actual functional day, I try to get at least one household chore that has been eluding me done and then reward myself with crafts or baking, anything that is low stress and I can sit while doing it. Also, finding social media groups has helped a lot.
