Its okay to feel lonely... I feel that way more often than I like to admit....
Its good that you are reaching out here on DS
I hope it helps, to think we are all lonely souls
keep reaching out, sending big warm hugs...
try to do something to distract your self, like take a walk, drink water, count your breaths.

No, it's not a great feeling at all. Have you always felt this way or is this new?
I often feel disconnected from the world and everyone around me.
Like there is no one I belong with.
Its always there but most of the time I can tolerate it.
I find keeping busy helps. Routine, making lists of things to do. Planning each day.
I hope for you this feeling will go away, but it might be worth learning some coping strategies.
Sorry you're suffering and hope you feel better soon.

Its largely due to a traumatic event and my work schedule being on 3rds is consistently rotating and theres never stability. That and my brain will not shut off when I need to sleep. Its been going on for about 2-3 months now

I'm sorry you feel like this. I've felt like this a lot throughout my life. I have went through several traumatic events and felt like I cant trust anyone. But this last experience I went through allowed me to find my life purpose and I have really found a lot of freedom in concentrating on what I bring to the world. I've given up on being accepted by others, and live my life in a way that I dont allow people's responses to affect my happiness.

I believe that you have so many great awesome qualities. Try to tap into what really resonates with you and find out what your passionate about and then take steps to do what you love and Love what you do.

Keep connecting with supportive people. You will get better.

Ive always lived for others putting them before me. Maybe its time I put myself first. First step is getting a hold on this sleep deprivation issue. Once I get good solid sleep my brain can be more clear, or in theory anyways

I think you're right. Time to take care of your own wellbeing. It sounds like you know the causes and know what will help. You need to sleep well to function well. Getting into a 'winding down to bedtime' routine might help. No tv, computer or phone right before bed. Bath, reading, that sort of thing. Do you see a therapist about the traumatic event?

Yes I will be starting Friday. I can try winding down but its hard to after a long shift

Chamomile tea with milk and honey does the trick for me.

I know the feeling. Been running alone for a good while now. Currently having anxiety issues (with good reason) and sleep deprivation because of it. I know it’s hard to settle your mind let alone getting some good sleep. I realize this may not even be an option but would relocating help?

Relocating atleast in the immediate is not an option but in the distant future absolutely

I feel so invisible to family and friends.
Hurts so badly.

i feel the same way ;ately i have always been alone isolated i guess but it is bothering me now i live in an adult complex and the people are older they do not come out much in the winter we would sit on the bench and talk in the summer but that has ended they have clubs but i just go to craft club maybe another club would help not much to do here i am lonely for the first time in my life and i do not have anything to do now that i do not craft much my disorder bipolar stops me from reading and looking at tv so not much to do i need another hobby and more people
