i am desperately lonely, what am i going to do

it's getting pretty desperate for me really...i hate to sound like a 'stuck record' - but i've lived alone 20 years now in a little flat/ apartment....i live with mental problems, a personality disorder which affects my emotions/moods....i have no social support network apart from my elderly mother and father, but mainly my mother, and they live far away...so i can't just pop round for a cup of tea and a chat?.........i lost touch with my childhood friends.......i've never had a girlfriend or been in a relationship , because of the sheer amount of problems i've had.

what am i going to do? i'm in my late 40s now.

Try finding old friends on Facebook or other social media sites. Go to the park, bowling alley, library, and if you see someone your age then just introduce yourself.
