...See more Hey guys, I moved to the countryside around 18 months ago and don't have many people locally I can go places with. I'm 37 this month, no kids, and I work from home. All my colleagues lives around the UK and most of my friends have their own partners/families /busy lives. I'm a really socialble person but fully aware that my OCD and anxiety has got worse since moving here due to the lack of friends and hobbies I have. It's started to effect my relationship with my long distance boyfriend as well as my mental health. I've tried joining Facebook friends groups and the MeetUp app but everyone I've spoken to so far are still quite far out and we exchange message for a couple days then they disappear. I joined the local gym but it's tiny and never anyone in there. Does anyone have any ideas of hobbies I could do or anywhere else I could try make new friends?
