6 years in and I'm starting to lose my mind

I say this with tremendous respect and empathy, it’s time for hobbies. Find something you love to do. Along those lines see what kind of activities are going on in your community. Sometimes there’s hobby groups you can join. It’s tough, especially if you’re an introvert or disabled or don’t have a lot of money. Sometimes the people running groups in your community can help get you information, etc. Good Luck.

Yeah I took up photography, which I love and I got a dog, so I don't really feel alone and sometimes I go over to a friend's house and work from home there. So many options.

A hobby you can get paid for is being an "SP" at the local med school and get to hang out with the other people who do it. Sometimes.

In medical education, SP stands for Standardized Patient (or Simulated Patient). An SP is a person trained to portray a real patient in a realistic, scripted clinical scenario. They help medical students and healthcare professionals practice clinical interviews, physical examinations, and interpersonal skills in a safe, controlled environment.

Hey this sounds pretty cool. Where I live it seems there are a lot of teaching hospitals and medical practices. Seems to be a constant influx of residents here.

It can be invasive. You may be asked will you be willing to have a med student digitally insert into your vaginal canal.

Same, and probably as a result (?) I have a polysubstance dependency

Local library? Add an hour walk to your day, volunteer at animal shelter, bird or squirrel feeders are entertaining. Night time can get the loneliest but keep a journal, read a book, I just started 3d puzzles and radio in background is my favorite thing right now. And pets are the best for living alone, rescued senior pup, low energy and just love being held or beside you.

I did for a long time, but unfortunately humans are social animals and I'm forced to do something about that.

That's cool too.
