It seems life never stops stomping on me. So i disconnected from the entire world, withdrew for almost a year. Nearly a shut in now. I don't know how i let this happen. Getting out feels terrifying now. I feel like ive nothing left to contribute .
Im 60 now and tired of being alone

CBT has some real science behind it- that the way you act incidences the way you think, not just the other way around. Doing the things you want to do, may force your brain to change. Start small and see if it works.

if all you had was a smile you have something to contribute.

@Sharkymama I wouldn't be surprised if there's a laugh on the back shelf somewhere. 
You are not alone, there are a lot of people here , who will value your input. And if things get really bad message some of those near you and meet up. Most of all if you are isolated think about travel, there is a whole world out there, and we live in the first age when travel is really easy, and you can meet people. And if none of that works do not be afraid to see you doctor mental health is a real need, and there is nothing to be ashamed of in seeking help to attain it. If you are retired, think about charity work to give your life purpose, there are lots of charities who need all the help they can get.

@Sharkymama Everyone, on line or not, always has more friends than they think, we always underestimate how much people care. Kind words don't always solve problemsbut sometimes they are the best you can give, they come with good wishes.
