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.

Lonely in the Mornings

Good morning to anyone who is up at 4 a.m.  I get up really early and I find myself to be so lonely.  I've already watched Dr. Phil, wrote in my diary and listened to music.  I'm drinking decaf coffee with pumpkin spice creamer.  I recently switched to decaf because I was going to the bathroom a crazy amount of times.  I joined a dating website and had some disappointments.  Now I'm having a dry spell.  I do have a crazy busy day today.  I sometimes follow true crime and a case I'm following keeps getting postponed.  I love watching trials.  I've been on jury duty and loved it.  I'm just rambling.  I feel like I could fall back to sleep.  Everyone, have a good Sunday!

I was up early also thanks to the dogs needing to go outside and do their duty. I might go back to sleep, not sure yet.

I think you have to be lucky on those dating sites. Match.com is one of the best ones. I know people who met on that one and are still happily married, years later.

Thanks Bob! I finally fell back to sleep for which I am glad. My cousin put me on Match years ago for a month's membership. I had to deal with so many scammers. But I know that Match does work for some. I'm on POF. My best friend met her boyfriend of 4 years on there. I'm being patient.

I am not sleeping well myself, after surgery, and I am thinking I am getting into a bad pattern of poor sleep that I will have to figure out how to break. I wake up early, too. I go pee and lay back down and listen to the news with my pillow speaker thing. So as not to wake up the husband. Often I fall back asleep. Sometimes I lay in bed thinking of how nice it is to lay in bed and not have to get up at 5 am like when I was working.

GreenEyes, I also feel in a slump or quiet spell. Sometimes this happens. I went to the library yesterday and got several great reads. I am halfway through one about a family in India and couldn't stop reading it yesterday. Try reading real books, the trip to the library is an adventure, walk through the shelves and find the true crime section. One of my personal favorite sections in the library!

Remember this saying "This too shall pass."

Thanks hasty! Sorry that you are having trouble sleeping too. I had a very eventful day today and already nodded out for a few. I haven't read a book in years. I used to love the library. I moved 17 years ago and don't know where my local library is. Something to check into though. I will ask the folks in my community on Facebook. Thanks!

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
