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.

I might be able to make it by myself but it sure would not be pleasant. I crave companionship. I want to share my life with someone.
Please stay strong, I pray that you will get the help you need to stay well and will have the strength each day to keep going. Take care.
First... take care of yourself. Eat well and exercise as much as you can. Step 1 is to be here. You can't move to Step 2 otherwise.
You have a start... your Faith and perhaps as Eli_Mom has done, your church can give you that sense of family and purpose that would help you.
But you're here... you are not alone. I'm brand new here... but this place exists for you to come and share... to type out your feelings and to get a catharsis. At some point we all will need to put our foot out the door and confront our fears and our loneliness.
When anxiety bothers you that means you're afraid of something. The big question is what are you afraid of? See, i battle feelings that if nobody is in my house and I'm not doing anything for anybody, then I'm irrelevant and what's the point of me. But that's foolhardy and a feeling I have to battle from my youth. What is it that you are afraid of? Liz Lemon, played by Tina Fey, was afraid of being alone and choking. I doubt that's you but something bothers you. Could be the fear that nobody will be there to comfort you when you need comforting. That's a good one too.
my plans are to surround myself with things and people which will at least fill my life. This forum is a place, an example, but certainly not the same as having somebody there whenever you need them. Unfortunately we all have to cope with our crosses.
