I'm lonely but not depressed. I just don't understand how I can be so lonely but not desperate for company. I'm a single mother of 2 boys. I'm with them everyday. They are the only communication I have. Ive considered dating but I can't find a reason except I miss cuddling with someone while watching shows after tge boys go to bed. I have no sexual desire and don't want them around my children. I miss communication but can't find interest in talking to people. Idk where to turn I guess.

Maybe get together with other single mothers? Join something
where there are adults around but you can also bring kids?
Take kids to children's library programs and maybe you might
make a friend? Join parents without partners if it still exists.
Maybe you just need to be around other adults.

It is hard to see ourselves. But if we know ourselves it can help us to do many things. I do not see anyone but my parents. I am not lonely. I just need touch. So I get masssages.
Reflex things you do. Ask yourself questions like how do you feel about it. I think that can help to know yourself.

Just let yourself have this time. Call it 'me' time. Just hang out with you. You don't have to have friends. You don't have to have anything but your boys.

But maybe you could join some groups. As part of your me-time. Quilting? Motorcross? What are you into?

    It's bedtime but I heated up some coffee to take my pills with and made a fresh pot so I can have some as soon as I wake up tomorrow a.m.  I've been on a roll for 2 days with cleaning and getting other stuff done.  I bought a new cell phone about a week ago and I've been having some issues.  I stopped at Verizon and a nice young man jumped in to help.  As a result, I was able to get an iced...
