Simply yes,,

I worked late and went to bed early for a while. The thing that has brought less stress to me is walking. Try a treadmill or a walk and add to the strength you have within

Absolutely a hard transition. It has been six months for me and here I am still lonely. It will pass and god willing someone wonderful will enter our lives someday!

I feel the same way. I want contact so badly and I'm finding other connections. I'm glad I'm on this sight. We can all moan and groan together.

I agree it's a very tough transition. I live alone but that's fine with me..I don't mind it...it does get lonely a lot. sometimes things simply are what they are. My advice is to not make descisions based on lonliness. It's the worse thing you can do.

i know what you mean, except i'm still living with my stbx (not by choice) ..but he's away on travel. (I'm still lonely with him right next to me) i chat on here because i don't want to chat anywhere on line, don't think i'm ready at all for that however, i want to be wanted. this place keeps me involved, by helping others too.

it is tough, but the longer time goes by, the sooner we realize we dont need another person to complete our lives, that that emptiness and space can be filled with things we coulda been doing while we were wasting time on the person who didnt deserv to have us in their lives.
i find that talking on the phone helps me more than online tho, i have a wonderful friend ive come to know who is expericnes close to the same things as I am so we can relate.

One of the things I find so useful about this site, is the ability to connect with others and to do so freely and in leisure. I'm probably not so willing to wander into Starbucks in my jammie's after work and just start talking to people..but I can do that here :o)

At first, I was glad for the X to be gone. There was so much drama and erratic behavior, that I welcomed being alone. Loneliness does come on occasion, but I've learned that the more I heal, the more I love myself, the more I accept things the way they are, the less lonely I am. The times that I am lonely....DS helps a lot!

I was lonely in my marriage to begin with. So when we finally seperated, it only took about a few months for me to adjust. I would go over and visit friends all the time and avoid going home at all costs, but with time I started to enjoy being alone since I realized that I could do whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it.

I still have problems sometime s being home along but usually when the kids are gone. Got surround yourself around positive people and open yourself up for what will be will be

It has been 10 months for me and I can't stand the quiet house when the boys are gone.

If it wern't for internet I would have little interaction with adults. Even at my job I am surrounded by children.

It took me a good year after my ex left to be okay being alone. My kids live with me and it used to kill me on the weekends when they were with thier dad and his girlfriend and I was alone. I would go out with any friend I could find or get on the phone with anyone to not be alone.

After about a year I learned to enjoy the alone time. I could watch a movie or just turn on the music and enjoy being alone. It does take time. You have to have a full heart to be okay being alone.

I dont think there is a guage for how long it takes. i spent a lot of time with my mom and grandson. It has been a long road. 3 months now. still lonely at times. This site has been very helpful. Dont beat yourself up for taking what ever time it takes to heal.
