Environment and surroundings are a main cause of depression. You sound completely clueless about psychology or even human health and relationships. |
well yeah! and a homeless shelter or tent camp would give even more opportunities! For reals girl! |
| One of the best things you can do is exercise. It makes you feel better mentally and physically. You also get better looking. |
Are you seriously comparing an apartment to a homeless shelter or camp? 😳😳😳 Most of the world outside of America lives in apartments with less of a “loneliness epidemic” so I don’t think apartments are the issue. |
Apartment life is worse really. |
You are weird. |
DH grew up in an apartment and I think his childhood was so fun. The whole building was like one big family, they would visit with each other whenever, their kids would all play together, it was just a lovely and idyllic childhood. It’s not the apartments. It’s the lack of community. |
Great. Cool. |
You don’t even know where OP lives. Apartment in the city > a house in the middle of nowhere. |
More people = more stress, less humanity. It's a common occurance and anyone knowledgeable about psychology knows this already. Squeezing people close together increases feelings of helplessness, loneliness, and increased occurance of depression. Sounds like you are trying to hurt the OP rather than help. What kind of person does that? |
Assuming OP lives in this apartment by herself when her kids are with their father, it doesn’t sound like she is particularly squeezed. |

OP, get outside and talk a walk. Make sure you are getting outside for a walk at lest 30 minutes a day.
Join a gym. Do water aerobics classes. You might make friends with some middle aged women that way. Are you in DC? Go to some museums. Make plans with friends (I know it's hard at this age, since so many people are involved with their kids). if you want to date, sign up for some online dating sites. Get the HPV vaccine and use condoms, though - the OLD dating scene has made dating very slutty. |
| Maybe hobby classes? I take a pottery class and there is open studio on Saturdays from 12-4. It’s a very social activity and you can chat while you work. |
Nonsense. It's evident that you know nothing about psychology. Equating density with “helplessness, loneliness, increased depression” is like saying every party is a tragedy because there’s more than five people in the room. Plenty of studies show social connectedness actually reduces loneliness and depression. |
Incorrect. Study more and quit relying on getting your info from Google.
