feeling so lonely

i hate this feeling of loneliness. it's like a deep hole inside of me. I feel like a 3 year old kid that never got hugged and it hurts. I just cry at nights and that is when it really hits. I am super depressed because I feel so lonely and my family is of no support at all. I'm all alone.

Tammy, I'm sorry you are so lonely. Many of us here feel the same way. It's very hard to be alone and not have any friends to confide in. I know first hand how hard it can be. Please feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk.

Sundays are bad days for me. Nothing to do anymore. Family not around like they used to be and the long dark days don't help. Tired and want to sleep.

Wow your first three lines really hit home with me because that would accurately describe how I feel. I am sorry you are feeling so lonely, too. Just know that you have friends here.

I know that feeling...it is an emptiness, deep, gut wrenching, and painful.

I live with it always, and I am not sure how to not feel that way. Someone told me that volunteering for nonprofit organizations can be very helpful and worthwhile. I am considering that because I would be around others and I would be performing service.

Do you feel alone or lonely? And believe me when I say this. You are not alone at all. You are missing something in your life, that is obvious, but there are many things you can do to feel happy just being with yourself. Please feel free to pmessage me if you want to talk. Hugs GB
