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.

Lost Contact with My Boyfriend

I haven't seen my boyfriend in months because of Covid.  We used to talk everyday on the phone.  He started working overtime and found out his mom has cancer.  The phone calle decreased and stopped.  I see he has no time for me so I'm giving up on the relationship.  If wants to talk to me he can but I'm no longer going to pursue him.


It's such a shame.  He was a good boyfriend.

Unfortunately, it's a part of life. People come and go into our lives. Enjoy their presense when they are near but when they are gone, just move on to someone else,

God Bless

We do feel loss and grief at these times that relationships kind of sink. Take this time to feel the loss but also work on moving forward. Figure out the things that make you happy and spend some time doing those things. What new activities would also fill your soul. Change is often hard for us humans. We struggle against it. Yet, you sound like you are being very wise and practical. Being alone does not have to mean lonely. Come back on here often and give support to others with your wisdom and kindness. Helping others can make us feel good about ourselves and less alone. All a member of the human club.

Good news! My boyfriend called last night. We had a nice conversation about everyday stuff and our lives.

I was just being paranoid. I've had the rug pulled out from under me many times so I on high alert much of the time.

I agree with urbangardener. Allow this time and space to be a time of healing for you and getting to know yourself for who you are and what your interest are and make that top priority in your life.

Many times we focus so much on another person that we lose ourselves. Its nice to have an intimate connection but if and when it doesn't work and that season is over focus on you and also use what you have went through as something that you can provide encouragement to others.

I believe when we build others up it helps us not to stay down and feel a sense of purpose even through our rough times.. Keep your head up and know that you are invaluable and deserve to treat yourself with kindness and love.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
