lonely

There are many days when I see no-one apart from the husband. Part of this is because we live too far from friends for me to walk to see them, part of this is because friends don't seem to visit us. This leaves me feeling fairly lonely a lot of the time. It doesn't help that I find talking on the phone to be quite tiring. Some people are good at sending texts and emails and such. These help me feel a little less lonely. I think a little of what doesn't help as well is that I go to bed alone and get up alone, as my bed and waking times are different to the husband. I've found from talking to others at my CFS group that they can feel isolated and lonely as well. It's not a symptom of the condition, but it does seem to be a by-product.
