Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
The weekends are so hard for me. I never thought I would look forward to work, but I can't stand the emptiness of the weekends. I try to find something to do, but there really isn't. All my friends are married and some have younger kids so they are occupied. I don't want to keep bothering my family, I have one sister who is being great to me and I do call her all the time and I go over on Fridays, but she has a husband and even if she didn't I want to give her time for her self to do what she needs to do. So weekends are so hard most of the time I just cry. I go to the store CVS a lot and just walk around, how sad is that. I have looked into the library and school night classes, but most of that is during the week. I just wish this pain would hurry up and go away so I would be happy, or content at least to be by myself. Well thanks for letting me go off I just needed to get this out.

During the week I can work and see people. Weekends I spend alone alot. Occasionally I have something to do, but often I'm alone. My friends are all married, my family has their own lives, and it's difficult to meet new people (don't tell me about meetup.com--I've already tried--when you live in the sticks there's nothing to do). I live in a college town, but everything is geared toward the college age students, nothing for older adults.
I do belong to a singles group, but we only meet once a month.
Can't wait for winter to end so I can get out more--hiking, camping, kayaking.
Ugh, thanks for letting me vent. Didn't mean to hijack the thread.
Hugs.
I found some local groups to join. I go to bookstores and read, watch movies, and this weekend I took my dog to the mountains....it is lonely alone....but at least it made the weekend less weird.
Maybe you can find something to do ahead of time; an art show, a movie you want to see, an activity.....and then go and see what happens...
the ppl in your life want you to heal and you need them at this time. strength is asking for help..not hiding from the pain
I understand your sadness. I guess I am lucky that I work weekends as I am a nurse...
I try to get out and walk, go to bookstores, the library, museums, join a book club, a gym, go to the coffee shop...
I know that it is hard and there are no magic words to make the pain go away.
Hugs!
