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.

Through my life I have found myself going through situations that one might say are unlucky or crappy. I have lost my mom to drugs and alcohol, my sister is a current addict that I do not keep in contact with, my step mother had been emotionally abusive, and I am currently on my own as my family has chosen that I am not going to be a part of their lives. I am 19 years old and i'm still in college trying to find my way through life, yet I can't seem to get over the fact that I don't have that backbone in my life and that I am truly on my own. And there always are constant reminders of it from those around me who go home to their families for the weekends and have their parents call to ask how they are. I feel like no one really understands how I feel, or they give me sympathy which isn't what I want. I just cannot seem to come to terms with the fact that I am alone and that this is something that I am going to have to deal with in my life, but I don't want that to be the only thing people see about me.
Sometimes having blood family is an illusion anyhow. They may or may not be there for you. Sometimes you grow closer to friends that you have more in common with.
If addiction is the way to fit into your family maybe it’s good that you don’t fit in. College is a better place for you. Stay open minded to meeting new people. Use the resources available to you. Learn to depend on yourself. It’s a tough lesson to learn at your age.
I am just learning how to manage on my own. I sure wish i had leaned earlier in life.
