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 live in a city where I have few friends. Moved up here to be near my sister and her family but they moved across the country. Had a fiancee up here, but he left me. While I do have a few friends up here, I rarely see them because they are busy. All I do after work is go home and sit on my couch and fall asleep.
I made the hard decision to move back home. It came after going to my friends wedding, So many people I knew were so excited to see me (even though I put on 50lbs due to my lonelyness) and were wondering if I was going to move back. While I make great money, the stress and lonlieness are no longer worth it.
I had also just met a guy at work. We havent gone out or done anything, but we really connected. Its hard to date some one in the patch because they are always away. He was at work after I told my boss I was leaving, but I couldnt talk to him because everyone is around (cant daye co workers) so I had to text him. Feel craptacular about that.
I know I should be exited to move home. But I feel I will be hurting my friends up here. I feel like I am doing something so horrible, and maybe its not the right choice. I feel that I am being selfish for wanting to be near my friends. I barely eat, wake up with panic attacks, and cry nearly all the time now that I have decided to move. Even my co workers are asking me if I'm sick because I look terrible.
Why do I feel like I am committing a crime?

Don't put too much importantce in other people, how friendly they seem, etc -- people are fickle, things change quickly. Also, and I kind of did the same thing - you should never move to be near someone. That situation, even if you are certain it won't - can change.
Wishing you the best of luck and hope you're happy with your choices.
Life is not etched in stone, you can make your way, you just have to trust yourself and your instincts. You'll always make mistakes, we all do, it's human nature, and they are life lessons, we can't learn without living.
Peace, my friend.
