Loneliness Support Group

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation.

I try to do activities outside my home. Going for walks, church, out to eat, etc. I typically make small purchases at the grocery store because going every other day allows me to get out. I work from home so it gets very lonely. Sometimes distractions help. Then there are days like today.

My grandfather used to go to the grocery store every day to get a little something. Yes it gets you out, otherwise forget it, it would be a lot worse.
I'm in the same boat as you---my one friend who I have (or "had") is about to become a grandmother and she is more and more getting big time involved with her family, I haven't seen her in months and she's so overwhelmed she's not even nice to me anymore, such as she doesn't listen when I'm talking and asks me the same question over and over. I've known her for years. I wrote her and said we need a break. I don't know if it will ever be the same. I live with my daughter and god forbid when she gets older and moves out---Yes the silence is terrible. What an existance.

Yep you said it exactly..an " existence..
Hard to break out of it..thats to bad for u and your friend...same thing happened with me..she got married fell off face of earth..but hey be grateful you have your daughter.....

Turning on uplifting music helps me cope. I also like to visualize myself with someone else later on and look forward to that all day. I have back pain and so I don't work outside the home much.
