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...

I have been feeling so lonely. I have no one to talk to and i feel like no one understands me. I have a hard time having anything more than superficial surface contact with people because inside I feel like no one will like me, or they will criticize me. I am alone every day, my job requires little to no interaction. My husband is never home and constantly ignoring me. I have no social life. I over think everything and stress myself out beyond control. I hate myself. I want to say out loud how much I think about ending  my life but I can't find the courage to say it out loud. I would never do it because I don't want to hurt my family, but I think about it all the time. I'm isolated from my family, I hold resentment from the past. I am trying to have a better relationship with God so that I don't feel so alone. but, it's been hard for me to understand the religion concepts  because I'm a very concrete scientific thinker. I hate feeling so alone, I hate who I am, I wish I could be a social, happy, loved person, but I feel like it's impossible. Is anyone there?

Have you considered therapy? Sound like it would help. Just for you not couples therapy. At least not yet. Can you do any volunteering? You could work in a soup kitchen, hospital, animal shelter, etc. Or take an exercise class or other class.

Reerose, I'm praying for your friend and her husband. I think we need to keep reminding ourselves how things could be much worse. I know we are both probably blessed in many ways. I'm trying to focus on the good things, and how this feeling we have is just temporary. I hope it will get better for both of us *hugs* thank you for the comment.



Tired, I have tried therapy on my own but didn't pick the right person for it, she never remembered anything about me, and didn't seem to care to help me. It just wasn't what I expected.. Actually kind of made me feel more alone. And it sucks because my health insurance only covers 4 visits, and I used all 4 on that crappy counselor. Volunteering sounds like an idea, I might look I to that today, maybe something with animals, I love animals and they can make anything better. Thank you so much for the advise!
