I'm thinking the same. I havent been in a committed relationship since my divorce, But I try to think positive and do things by myself. we have to pray that we will get through this.

Wish I knew....there's no one I can talk to about this as they do not understand. When I have they all think get a job you'll be better. I have a job which I'm thankful for. Then it's why not go out...where to??

Exactly. Where do you go? Everyone tells me church... thst just doesnt work for me.

I'm with shelda.....after work then what? I'm an adult, I'm not busy after work so wth is wrong with me? What kind of label do I put on this disorder....I'm sure theres one out there

I wish I knew why it's so hard. I see the world socializing, having fun, having friends, parties, weddings, family gatherings, etc. I have none of those. Time stands still for me, nothing ever happens. I totally understand. It's not that we have bad social skills. I don't know what it is. Like mentioned above, what label should we put on this?

I can relate. I can go on and on, but I've told the story too many times. Long story short, this summer was the worst. I had about 8 seizures (epilepsy), depression and cutting, and the person who got me through it was someone I loved and who loved me back, and he disappeared without telling me why. I feel loneliness whenever I think of him. I think of how something that was beautiful could easily die. He's never told me why he did it, and it keeps eating at me whenever I would hear what he said about it. He's never told me, and I feel sick to my stomach. Everytime I would post something like this on Novni, people just made it into some sort of joke. It keeps devouring me. I started letting go, but it keeps coming back whenever I would hear about something he said or did, and this time, he said to his/my friend to tell me that things "just shifted" and that "he didn't mean for it to hit the fan". I'm lost. I'm completely lost in something that I don't even know.

I feel the same way. You described it perfectly.

I feel the same way. My girlfriend of 20 years left me just before Christmas. Since then I've been trying to learn to be alone. I have some good people in my life that support me but even around them I feel alone.

I van definitely relate. I just split us with my husband of 30 years and have no idea which direction to go. Since he is with my best friend of 35 years I know longer have my friend to hang out with. What makes it worse is I am 49. I am lonely but as an introvert I am not about to go out alone and how on earth do you make friends with people at my age when now I feel like I cant really trust anyone.

I know that feeling. When I think of my funeral, I know no one except my child and separated husband will show up so I told them that I didn't need a funeral. I don't why people don't like me and keep me out of the loop. It is hurtful, I am just tired of it all and not want to leave the house. Doesn't seem worth it at times.

Sigh... I'm just a waste of air. No one cares to help, even when they say so...
