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.

Having a hard time with this snow

Edger

Trying to clear off the snow from on top of my car sides and around it. Its berried halfway up the car doors. No were to put the snow. Its two feet right next to the car and allover my lawn and neighbors. Husband car in front of mine not much better. Went out four times yesterday to shovel in the blizzard. Just came back inside from working on digging out cars this morning. Lots more trips back out today to shovel and dig. Plus mom in baltimore. Brother with her but doesnt help alot. I will have to make arangements to get her snow cleared. The physical therapist for her pain will probably not get ther monday. Dont know if even tuesday. The good thing is we didnt loose power mom or me. But i was stressed out before the storm. Now I'm getting even more stressed. And adding physically tired to it.

I live in the tropics so i can barely imagine what it is like for you except for what I see on the news. Hope it all goes well for you. The extra worry about your mother wouldn't help. Good luck with it.

I heard about the evil snow storms from hell that has plagued the east coast, I assume thats where you are located as well. Look, when you get that much snow, you really need to invest in a 2 stage snow blower that can clear up to 25 to 30 inches of snow in depth. Yes I know snow blowers like that are costly, but sure can save you from a lot of back pain trying to work a shovel. I recommend you invest in a snow blower, and just use the shovel for right up against a vehicle or a set of steps.

ashley is a woman with smarts.....snow blowers are great investments....I would have one but cannot really manage it....so costly....I would need it one time year here really,,,,at my moms only....my house is just sidewalk in front of house and to the curb from door....

I'm having a hard time with this snow as well. Shoveling was mentally and physically draining. I am thankful I had a neighbor who did a lot with a snow blower, but I still had quite a bit to shovel with all of this snow.

Right now I am just debating on whether I should go out or not tomorrow. I told my mom I'd see her tomorrow, but I am terrified of going out on these roads. The side roads where I live aren't very good. There is so much snow the road is essentially a one way street at the moment. It's going to be a while before things go back to normal. It's depressing.

I'm depressed also. This storm is adding more stress to an already stressed life. It has complicated things more than than they aready were. Its making me sick.

perhaps a neighbor teen would like to earn alittle money by shoveling snow for you

this is my first time commenting on here so here goes...really struggling with loneliness and depression. Being stuck in the house for the past 4 days with the snow has made my depression and loneliness much worse. Looks like others here going through the same...just kind of looking for some support Thanks

Nancy can you go out, for say half-way around the block? Getting away from cabin fever sometimes doesn't take very much. IMHO

Oops I guess going half-around would leave a person stranded. Um, we can't leave someone shivering out there, so.... ) /Well say a block out +! a block back. Just fighting the snow a little way -- then making a bee-line back could do some good. IMHO

Th' snow here -- last of it disappeared yesterday. The winter was hard on me

Hi Nancy. I am sorry you are struggling, too, but glad you can join us here. Welcome to DS!

I made it out of the house today and visited my mom, but my anxiety off the charts while I was driving. I don't think I will be visiting her every day until the snow clears because I can't deal with so much anxiety, but it makes me feel guilty. I'm just so upset over this much snow. It's screwing everything up for everybody.
