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...

I'd like to talk to you on a daily basis, you look like such a nice girl and I can relate to your problems - I have the same, but I am not your age!

Hello, I understand how you feel. I have felt like that most of my life. I don't understand why.

I have had associates, but never had female friends. I've tried, but end up dropping them. Im a lot of fun, am into some neat things. I have no issues socializing, just would be nice to have someone to socialize with like you stated.

You kow how you have people you connect with at work. They seem really cool, but as soon as you get a better job, or not there anymore it's out of sight out of mind. Noone wants to hang out outside of work..Makes you wonder what's wrong with you right?

Shockingly my feline friend does not fill my desire to have contact with other people *sarcasm* Ive had to push some destructive people out of my life and i think its for the best. Unfortunately it has left only a couple of people to talk to let alone have a social life with

Well this is a decent place to start reaching out and connecting with other people, which might help you out. But I would advise you to do your best to find happiness from within yourself, this is not something that can take place over night but a life long journey. I see that you have children so you probably don't have a whole lot of time on your hands right now. But if you can find the time I would suggest learning about and to start practicing meditation I think it would help you considerably. Also you should start working on your self talk or use affirmations on a daily basis, deep breathing or abdominal breathing would help you to relieve stress and help you to relax. Using a journal to get your thoughts on paper would also help. Something else to consider would be to start exercising or doing some form of yoga. I know this is along list to take in, but for someone who has PTSD and major depression it has helped me quite a bit. Anyways hope you find what your looking for, and God Bless.

Me too. I'd like that. I see work people hanging out on FB last night some were out at a bar having fun. Ive tried but gave up. I cant force people to include me or think abt me. Ive already made efforts to befriend them. Online is not the same.

    The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

    Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety. I don't know if I should wait until it gets better or what. Everytime I've blocked him, it has tend to make me...
