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.

Been feeling alone in a room full of people.

It's been exactly 3 years since I've felt this way. You could say it's my "anniversary" if you will. I just feel so alone. I always get intrusive thoughts telling me I'm not good enough at the worst moments. I just want to be able to talk to someone about it.

I went through something similar. I would still feel alone if I was with a crowd of people I knew. That feeling became like an addiction...so I was always looking for something to make myself feel better like a drug, or with food or with sex...just anything that would get rid of those horrible feelings of loss and isolation, if only for a few seconds.

So I had a life of addictions to mainly drugs and alcohol, but I didn't start to feel better until I went through counseling and treatment programs. It was there that I learn that those feelings are based on past, untrue negative beliefs I had about myself and I went through a one year course to get rid of them. That was when things began to change for me and now, every day is worth living because every day is a miracle. Every day brings something or someone into my life that makes me happy, that is a blessing to me.

Getting rid of the blocks in my mind that were holding me back, was alot of work but when I look back at where I have been and where I am now,,,,,there is no doubt in my mind that it was well worth the effort.

God Bless

I have the ame thing but mine has been going on for about 25 years and started with stuff that happened to me as a child. Ive always been leas to everyone and find little acceptance or acceptance that I can recognise since I'm so damaged. I know what you are going through.

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...
