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...
Im currently healing from a major surgery, and Im starting to feel restless. It has been 3 weeks, post surgery and I am starting to feel alright, but I am anxious because though I feel okay, my body is still vulnerable. The docto said it would take 6 to 8 weeks to feel completely normal. But who knows, how long the inside of the wound would take to heal. I dont know, I guess I just wanted to have some sort of connection as Ive been feeling lonely... just being at home, I am feeling bored.
I found myself feeling torn between taking a walk or not. Before surgery I walked every single day... but of course after surgery I needed to rest. And Ive talked myself out of taking a walk today =(
I do feel paranoid, about the surgical pain, and being outside. It takes so long to heal. And I dont want to be stuck with my thoughts as I do struggle anxiety
has anyone else out there, experienced something like this? Having to rest, stay home for medical reasons. What did you do to distract yourself? I need a cure for boredom, Maybe I am just restless
I wish I felt confident to start taking walks again... I love taking walks, though since the surgery I feel Ive lost some confidence, always having to be "careful" and catious. Sigh.
I dont know what to think anymore, Im quite relient on what the doctor may say about my condition, though Im not seeing my doctor until march 11, so I feel stuck, just at home idling.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
Just start out very slow and increase your distance as you build confidence and stamina but if you are feeling alot more pain then normal, you should then call your doctor, but personally, I think you will be doing your body a big favor by walking.
God Bless
