when you don't know anyone

and are cut off and isolated and only have your elderly parents for support? this is me....i'm not looking for sympathy......but i live alone in a small flat...i have had mental problems all my adult life and never established any relationships.....my friends from my childhood, we lost connection, drifted apart....now i have ended up cut off and isolated...and i don't know anyone.

what can i do? i'm in my mid 40s now, so middle aged.

I would pick a hobby then join a group that does that hobby together. It also helps to start frequenting places like the public library. it could also be good to start attending a support group for your particular issues.

A shame you were never shown how to make outside connections as an adult. You need to work on this. Try googling "how to get to know people in my 40s", and try a few things. Getting to know people isn't as easy as it was when you were a kid.
