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...

some breif history been on this site along long long time, used to post in the forum alot been dealing with things and havent been on.

i am gettign a divorce wife of 14 years had multiple affairs before xmas, so we seperated she moved out since she had somewhere to go, and i stayed out our house. i am still there struggling with everything. two kids they are 12 and 9, they are with me 5 nights a week because of their mothers work schedule.

so while school was going on i was always busy with homework and all that stuff . now school is over and they are spending less time with me and more with their friends so i am alone more which i now spend my time thinking and being alone and its depressing. i dont have friends earlier in my life i made bad choices and the friends i went with where not nice people and i had a bad outlook about myself so the things they did byulllying me i felt i deserved. i since wised up and kicked thenm all out of my life but now i have no one but the dog, and at least he lays on the couch and listens to me.

Ever thought about joining a church, club or volunteering in a field of ur interest?

It sucks that the world has billions of ppl and millions are suffering from loneliness.

Everyone seems so self-consumed with their own lives. I guess one can only benefit when there is give and take.

It seems the younger we are, the more friends we have. There is a reason for that. Kids are involved in more activities & clubs which exposes them around more ppl. Maybe we should try to do things we did when we were young. I was such a happy 14 yr old kid. We didn't take life so seriously & didn't worry like most adults now do.

Just remember that things will get better. It is so hard to be alone right now,but the lonliness you feel in your heart right now will not last forever. Praying for you.

I'm glad you came here, and I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I would focus on healing and eventually venturing out to make new friends through meetups or whatever other interests you might have. We have two dogs ourselves and they are the best, glad you have yours to help bring you comfort.

I know exactly how you feel. I dont have alot of encouraging words to share other than to say take things one day at a time. I too have never felt more alone than I do right now. I was married for 19 years - divorced now for almost 3. Feel like all of the time was for nothing except for my two children. My ex even says that he has regrets about alot of things that he did and does realize how good things were. In a sense I guess that makes me feel better in a small way. But it still doesnt help. I would never want that relationship back by any means....but I missing having a relationship. Someone to share things with, to do things with, to talk with, to care about, etc. I miss all of that terribly. Alot of friends from during that time have all faded away. I tried to keep in contact and to keep the connection there....but it failed. I have two close frields - one is busy with work all the time and the other has a very busy social life. My children are with me 99.9% of the time. So I bascially have no social life. So I understand about being alone totally. Its very, very difficult to handle most days. It is depressing. I'm sure you have alot you want to share with someone....to have that companionship, etc. Its as if there is a huge gap that needs to be filled. I don't know how that is suppose to happen either. But they any time heals and good things come to those who wait. Well I'm giving it time and I'm waiting. Life is what you make it be. At this point in my life....I think Im just meant to be there for my children right now. I strongly believe that I will have "my time" when things will be better. I think that will happen for you too. I really do. So just take it one day at a time. Find something that you like to do...even if you do it by yourself. You will start to feel better.
