Feeling alone

I had my first dialysis treatment today. It is so overwhelming. Several friends called to chek on  me. Now I am sitting here alone trying to process this. It is so hard to be alone at a time like this. My daughter lives several states away. I know she is concerned for me. It is not the same as her being here. I am struggling to be brave about this but i can't stop the tears.

Sorry you have to have dialysis. I think there is nothing more lonely than being sick and alone. So glad you have your daughter even if she is not physically present, you know she is emotionally present.

perhaps you might exchange numbers or email address with others at your dialasis location

Oh I know how you feel. I was seriously sick years ago for a very long time, and many people I knew dropped out of the picture. I became all alone, and since that hard period of time, have not met new people to comfort me. I am still very lonely and only have one daughter also. Dialysis must be hard to go through, and it's harder going through it alone and sick. I hope the people that work there are comforting at the very least. So many lonely people out there and on this site. The world can be a cold, hard place.
