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...

My epilepsy is limiting

My family and I moved away from Colorado a few months ago after I graduated from high school. The sucky part is that I'm so far away from my friends and now it' harder for me to make new ones. I'm a musician and decided not to go to college, but I have a job to get out of the house right now. 


I think the unique part of my situation, is that I have epilepsy. I can't go anywhere by myself, live by myself, or drive. So I'm living in my parents basement until the day I get married. Where I live is so spread out, that nothing is in walkable distance. I have 2 friends back home. I guess that's my story for now...

my son's father had surgery for seizures, he continues to have them. He has a medical button for emergency. He lives alone. I'd suggest you to type where ever you live 'epilepsy support group and call epilepsy foundation for info where you live

Hi! I read somewhere that epilepsy can be treated with fasting. Before, people thought that ones with epilepsy are possessed so they tried to fear the devil by locking people away with no food, and "the devil" would go away. It is simple but hard, not eating anything for 7 or more days. I saw a guy on net, think he was fasting for 23 days. Look it up. And for the loneliness thing, don't know, maybe if there are some local things/groups that you can get into, church, volunteering. If you are not good in making friends at least you'll be around people which is better than being alone, and doing something useful (doesn't matter for whom -old, young, sick,animals) is good for YOU. You can give it a try, you got nothing to lose.

Keep on sharing hun, perhaps marry a girl from that home town of yours and move back then catch up with all your old friends in the future

It's not so great to live on your own

Appreciate you're parents company more see if you can make it more enjoyable

The majority of UK kids dont leave home till thirty now cos housing so expensive and they love the free care of parents

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...

    Has anyone heard from Jenn, she had an adult son with aspergers, Eric, they lived a long time with her grandmother, then they moved into an apartment. She had a funny little picture if I recall of a short dark haird woman as part of her name in a red dress.There are so many people who have dropped away from this room...I wonder where they are, and miss them. Wishing that DS could become what it...
