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.

What would it be like to not be saddled so immensely with all the stuff I have to go through. Everyone in my family or friends and have said "later". They do not want to associate. Now, I don't know if it is human nature to fight this or want to change it. If change is the answer then who or what should be changed? I have been in therapy for so long it is sickening. Just a little bit of peace would bring about positive stuff. How do you get that?

I find it best to just accept what I cannot change and live the best life I can in the present day. Not always easy but the only way for me. Hope you find some answers and peace soon.

Start simple; What in your life would you like changed?

tehdreamer, Hhmm you got me thinking. What in my life would I like to change? Not to take over your thread Tom77 but I agree with you a little peace could bring about positive stuff. My family and friends have let me down also. My family is the worst and as far as friends I'm afraid depression has distanced me from them. Start small and livein the present like looney1 says. These are good tips for a place to start.

Have you ever considered group therapy. I think it's probably more
work for the therapist, but might be more beneficial to the paying customers.

I love quotes and find the two below to be great advice.

That is what I do; I make a list. A list of things in my life that I would like to be better/different/whatever. Admittedly, for me, the big things on the list I have failed time and time again at conquering. I have found better success in the smaller things. As much as I hate my life and as much as I complain about everything, I can't say things are 100% fail as I've succeeded in changing quite a few things on my lists through the years. Though I still wish I could get those big things changed, I still take my victories as I accomplish them.

The first step is figuring out exactly what's bothering you, so you have a clear idea of what needs to be different. After that, it's finding the right tools to change some of those things. And no one should feel ashamed at asking for help to make changes in your life, when you need it.
