@DoctorHouse who may strike a bond with you as he'll relate. Perhaps you can help him become productive, get in shape and diet, energetic and accept certain aspects once more. It's great your disciplined with working out, it really is proven to help in several ways. I can imagine the depression as yesterday I was talking to one of my favourite members over PM yesterday and we discussed Christmas plans of our families and I was thinking how life can be hard without this, not to mention every day feeling so good in their company. However, the plan was also to invite extended family, as you mentioned having siblings and parents, it goes a long way towards beating true loneliness and having a social network. It may not be the same but it's much better than true isolation and they do love you like family.
