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.

Over Christmas I decided to contact my ex and we started talking again. When the subject came up about trying a relationship out again he could not answer me. I decided to end things myself again instead of waiting for him. He is out of my phone now so it is a done deal. He is out of my life for good. This happened only last week, the day before my birthday. I have family but I feel alone and very empty. I know I need to give myself time to heal but it sucks. He was the only person I had so I feel a pretty big loss.

Hope you're able to move on, and be happy.

I understand, I know it's hard to disconnect, in time you will heal and hopefully find comfort here, too.

Did you contact your ex out of pure lonliness? I've done that plenty of times. He's an ex for a reason. I know you feel lonely, but think of ways to keep your mind occupied. Hobbies, clubs, exercise, etc. I've been alone now for several years. Although I don't like it at times, I'm used to it and not scared to be alone anymore.

Thank you.

I'm glad you are including therapy as that will help you through this much quicker. It can also probably help you deal with the reason why you don't have any friends too. Don't give up and take care. Many hugs.

For me, I have reached out to that which is familiar despite the consequences...

I have chosen to forget why a relationship ended, instead believed there was a possibility of re-attachment... I have done this not so much for wishing to be with that person again, but because I did not wish to be alone...

For me, it is so important for me to not pick up that phone and call, no matter what...

For me, it is about moving forward and taking in new friendships a little at a time as I have done on this forum...
