So I'm new to the website and area. I have become very lonely and depressed. I have no friends, and my husband is not stationed here so there isn't any frg or anything like that to get to know people. As I said my husband is not stationed here. I came here to finish school and its been tough for me. I have no kids and I'm always alone. So I was wondering to all the people here. Where can you go to meet new people. And how was your time adjusting to this new area.

Thanks A 

Welcome to HU ashahada! And welcome to Fort Hood even though I'm not there anymore.

To meet new people without using an FRG, I would suggest heading over to ACS. They have a waiting spouses group for those who don't have their soldier with them. They have many other classes and groups, check out what they have that interests you.

I would also suggest heading over to the Resiliency Center on Battalion Ave. There is the meditation pool, gym, chapel with Chaplains that can talk with you and offer you suggestions and hope. You may run into someone just like yourself while you are there.

You can also get into contact with an MFLC (Military Family Life Consultant), sorta like a shrink but way cooler and helpful! There office is located inside ACS I believe....but they may have moved to the Resiliency Center.

There is also the Spouses Clubs. Not sure if enlisted and officers are still 2 different groups or not.

There's always women meeting up at the gyms too.

I'm not sure what times your classes are but a job or volunteering (ACS, Red Cross, etc) is always helpful too.

I hope you find what you are looking for.
We are always here at HU, but mostly cyber friends as many of us are no longer at Hood. 

Welcome! I keep in touch more with my HU friends then I do with friends from any other base. There are a lot of very great people on here even if we now live far away. Kelly gave you great suggestions for places there. You can also just become friends with people on here and through FB! I know I can count on all of my friends from here to be there for me when I need to chat even though most of us have moved away. 

Welcome Ashahada,
I second what Kelly and Janelle said. The ladies on this site still in the area are pretty cool. I am also not in the area anymore (fort lewis, Wa now) but I was there in 08-09 and miss my friends from there. What school are you going to? 

I am at ctc. i work there part time, and I also am in my transitioning phase of going back to my old job on post. I keep myself busy so i dont think about being away from my husband, but i have hit a brick wall. I am always alone, and if i just want to go get my nails done, or to the gym, im always alone. I'm very unmotivated to do anything anymore, because my husband was my buddy and we did everything together, and its just hard re adjusting to be by myself 24/7. he's been deployed before, but this just feels worse because of the circumstances were in at the moment. 

I totally know how you feel. I'm actually still here at Hood and most of my friends have left **hint hint to those above**. I met almost all of the friends I have here from this site although it is absolutely nothing like it used to be. I've met a few people through my business but nothing like the friends I had a couple years ago... I, on the other hand, do have the FRG I could turn to but because my husband and I are separated and getting a divorce, I don't get the feeling I belong (even tho he is deployed and I still take care of everything on this side).

I wish you luck and you're welcome to send me a message anytime. Maybe we could get coffee or something sometime ;)

And BTW, the MFLC is located just off Old Ironsides and 31st Street. Next to the Resiliency Center. 

I miss the gathering at starbucks.. sigh. I swear sometimes I wish I worked just so I could get out and TALK to people! 

so start them back up someonesangel.

nothing saying you cant.
