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...
My kids are moved out. I have no immediate family in my life. I have no friends...seriously not one. My husband doesnt acknowledge I exist. I live rural and work from home. Somedays it's hard to keep fighting to exist. I would like to make friends but in your 40's and isolated it is impossible.
I don't think it's impossible, but I can see why it might be difficult for you to make connections with people. This may sound stupid, but do you have any hobbies? Ones which you can find a group in your area you may be able to share with online? I say this as a person who has a hobby, but whose friends involved in said hobby are all virtual. There are meetups with others in the area, and not just to discuss the hobby, but just for companionship. The rest of the time, all our interactions are online. It does help one to feel less lonely when there are forums to discuss anything and everything, even if there isn't any face-to-face.
Why do you feel your husband doesn't "see" you? What in your marriage has changed?
Whether or not you choose to respond, I truly wish you the best. You're not alone--in your loneliness or in the world. :-)
@maria My husband I haven't had sex in 3.5 years. Hes just not attracted to me.
Like you I try to keep busy. I learned to Tile (youtube) redid the while bathroom by myself. Redid the spare bedroom. I think after I stopped finding things to do I crashed.
