Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people.

Hi Iam new here although I do spend a lot of time at the depression group. I already recognize some people here from other groups so it's nice to already see some familiar faces. Here's my situation: It really doesn't take much for me to feel lonely. Ilive with my husband and son but as soon as they are gone to work and school I start feeling the loneliness set in. The thing is, some of the loneliness is my own doing since I tend to avoid people due to social anxiety. My family is very supportive and I do have friends both in the non-virtual world and online. And I think that sometimes depression and loneliness go hand in hand. So I am looking to connect more with others and to give and receive support.

So glad you have joined this wonderful family of friends that can understand what you are going through. I know exactly how you feel. I just went through a 2 week depression from hell and along with it, comes Agoraphobia and not wanting to socialize with anyone unless it's forced upon me, i.e. my mother's nurses, etc... doctor appointments, or having to grocery shop for my mom. My friend and neighbor Tom goes with me to keep me from losing my mind. So please know that you are not alone in how you are feeling. You are a wonderful lady and will meet many wonderful friends in this group. So glad you are here, I just wish the circumstances were different for all of us. Hugs Gramybear
