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...
Hello, I am new to this place. I came here because I feel like I really need some help or advice.
Lately I think I've been suffering from depression or anxiety. There are thousands of things in my life that don't seem to work out the way they'd supposed to. My father died 3 years ago, he was killed, and even thought it was hard for me I thought I handled it ok, but I've never talked about it to anyone, how I felt at the moment, how I feel sometimes. From this I had to start working to take care of my family, and it's so overwhelming sometimes, I wish I could change my life but I just can't or don't know how to.
On the other hand, I haven't been in a real serious relationship in a long time, I feel like I'll never find someone, like I'm not good enough, or I'm too weird or complicated to be with. There was someone very special to me (my ex) who I kept in touch and continued to be friends, but lately thigns didn't work out and about 3 days ago I decided to cut him out of my life, and it's been terrible, not much the fact of not having him around, as the fact of thinking he will not be in my future, in anyway. I feel lost, and alone and like no one would understand me because all my friends are getting their lifes together, getting married, having kids, getting engaged. And I'm alone and afraid that I will never find someone for me. Is it normal to feel this way?
I feel hopeless and scared of the future, but at the same time I have no idea what to do to change things, or to change the way I feel.
Please, help me.

baby in my mid-twenties. All the struggles, plus the loneliness. It
was so difficult. It's better to be alone than with the wrong guy. After
about 3 weeks, for me, when I would stop seeing this one male that
I really cared about, I would begin to feel better. Also, if I did not think
about the past and the future, and just did my best in the present, I was focused and able to get things done, at least feel that I was accomplishing things.
It is normal to worry about finding the right guy, how things will
turn out, but it only stresses you out. From the Bible, "Be anxious for nothing" whether you are religious or not, is great advice.
Hope good things are coming your way.
