"I don’t have a job at the moment and
find it hard to leave the house these days or even get out of bed...”
I live alone, don’t have many friends and am not close to my family so I often spend long periods of time not speaking to anyone. I either can’t sleep or sleep all the time. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through another day.
