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
I am new and just found this board. I have had a lot of times in my life when I felt lonely, but I am really struggling now. My children grew up and two of them don't even like me anymore. My husband and I have drifted and although we don't hate each other or anything we just don't really even talk anymore.
I work, but I am the boss so don't/can't really have friends in the office.
All my friends I met through my children. We have drifted apart or mostly moved apart as we moved 5 years ago. And I don't know how to make new ones.
I just don't feel like I have anyone to talk to. I really miss having someone to vent to when life is not going well.
I feel sad and depressed a lot too so sometimes that is most of my life. My children in particular hate my negativity, but I just don't know how to turn it off.
Sometimes I wonder why I am even here.

Tomorrow is National Relaxation Day but seeing how we already had a Moment of Zen this week and today happens to be a Friday, how about some relaxation jokes instead?! Namaste... enjoy! Happy Friday!

If you only know one thing about me, it should be _____________________.
Welcome
As people get more openly hostile and aggressive, particularly in packs, and as tv gets trashier, I find there's plenty to be negative about. I can turn off the tv, and most of the time I do, but it's still
just depressing how low people are sinking and how desperate
for attention people have gotten, seriously - similar to a small child, and not just the teens. Why does everyone want an audience for everything - even when they propose?
Grown kids are often pretty negative about their parents, these days, if not since the beginning of time --lol
I really hate counseling myself, but do you think counseling might help you and your husband get close again? There's so many things you could do and places to go... lots of adventures to share.
As for friends - I am learning that people are very difficult and picky. If anyone has friends - good friends - I wonder how they really feel about them or if they are hanging on and pretending to really love them because of insecurity. Sometimes it really baffles me how much people love each other and constantly say it......kind of weird and maybe there is an underlying reason. ?
But regardless if anything - if you want to be around people - make friends, etc you know you can join a group- at church, a book club, the gym, etc. something.
I wonder why I'm here too. Maybe we both can learn together how to turn off the negativity? I am your age too.....and I'm even scared that I will die alone. So....what do we do to fix these feelings? :)
