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.

Hello, I am really not sure what to say right now? I just feel very sad and alone. Ever since I split with my now ex-wife a year and a half ago, I have been struggling continually. Some days are better than others, but I feel like nobody ever makes any time for me. I just want to be liked and have friends who care. I really need support to make it through this difficult time and I just feel like I am not getting that support and kindness from others.

I hope some of you here on DS will understand and help me out please. I will answer any questions you may have. Thanks so much.

I do understand that feeling. My husband of 28 years left me 10 years ago. I thought my life was over. I wish I could tell you that everything is wonderful now but unfortunately not. However, time has helped. I still long to have a close group of friends and a special someone in my life. I spent the holiday weekend alone.

I don't have answers just plenty of well wishes.

I'm so sorry you are feeling so lonely. I can understand the lonelines of a lost love. My X left just over 2 years ago and I still miss him terribly.
I wish there was a magic potion to help us get through the grieving.
I'm sorry you are not getting the support you need.
You have friends here who care!

Loneliness is a challenge to deal with when it becomes so often in ones life. Have heard many ways to deal with it ( keeping busy, hobbies, etc). It provides for a short term solution. Best wishes to those who are facing this challenge in their lives. If anyone comes accross even the smallest way of dealing with this...please share...Thanks

It's hard when all the familiar things are no longer there.When you start missing her,remember why it didn't work out.Don't trap yourself w/the wrong messages.You are a worthy person,and there are many who will come forward in friendship if you smile & reach out to them.Be gentle w/yourself.
