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. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...
One time when I was living with a friend she went out of town. I don't drive, I have no money for a phone and I had no internet at the time. My parents lived in the same small town as I did, including one of my sisters. My roommate was gone for a week. I was left there for a week and my family knew. They never once came to check on me. And I was living in a pretty bad neighborhood. I am slightly agoraphobic as well, so leaving the house wasn't an option. When this happened my depression and lonliness got worse and I am terrified of being alone now, than I ever was.
The situations are still the same and I have headaches from the anxiety everytime I am left alone all day. I am truly afraid that I will be forgotten about, but even more so afraid of something horrible happening when there is nobody around to help.
