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...

Feeling kinda down

Hi All--I feel kinda down today. I lost my job that I had for 3 weeks about 3 weeks ago. I went to my hairdresser today and she asked about the job. Of course, I had to tell her that I didn't have it anymore. I could have lied but that's not the kind of relationship i have with my hairdresser. It's just so embarrassing to me. but like I told her, maybe God has other things in store for me and it just wasn't what he wanted for me. I just don't know. I don't feel like eating healthy food; I just want muffins. Big, fluffy muffins. I can't eat them though because I'm pre-diabetic and that will cause my blood sugar to spike. Or at least that's the way I understand it. My knees hurt and I don't feel like exercising. I'm just a pool of self-pity at the moment. I just want to be cozy with my kitty cat. That's all for now, Suzi

I get it. This afternoon I just decided to lay in bed for a few hours because I just felt like sh$&.

Dont be so hard on yourself. If you want a .muffin, treat yourself to one that is very healthy and chase it with milk. Also you can watch a good comedy or play a fun game on your cell phone.

There's life after a job loss. I've lost a couple over the years and, at the time, it was a pretty devastating experience. However, I always eventually found new employment. When I look back at those times, I'm often grateful for the job loss because what happened next happened to be a better experience.

My knees hurt...so I share your pain there too. Just do what you can...keep moving/stretching them and hopefully the pain will subside. Take care!

you really think God somehow took your job away?

sbjn--No, I just meant that perhaps there's another job in the future that's better.

Muffins aren't that bad. A whole cake with icing, or a couple dozen cookies with ice cream, is what I call unhealthy. I do enjoy them though. Recently substituted carrot cake for regular cake 'cause it sounds healthier.

You all are making me hungry.

I like you. You sound a lot like me. Big, fluffy muffins, pool of self pity, wanting to curl up with the kitty...so much in common!

I'm sorry to hear about the job. Something better is definitely out there. Don't give up!

You should have heard my knees as I walked up my stairs tonight. Sounded like Rice Krispies.

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
