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.

I recently got reinstated to my old college so I can finish up my credits and graduate within the next two years. I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared. My anxiety with large groups of people still makes me freeze up but I've gotten better over the years. I'm proud of myself for how far I've come and so happy to have met so many new people along the way. Though I still feel dread in social environments, I still fall for the cruel voices in my head now and again when they tell me I wont be good enough, I've been building a support system to help me stay on my feet. I now know I can contact certain people when I have a panic attack and need a quick distraction so I dont burst into tears. I keep a tiny stuffed cat in my purse so I can hold its hand when I have to venture out alone. Plus I've decided to stop being a people pleaser and just worry about myself.
I'm excited, worried, scared, happy and nervous. I know I can do this.
Please keep us posted!
PS,,,I keep a small stuffed turtle in my purse to help with anxiety!
My college years were some of the best in my entire life. I hope you'll have the same great time that I did, and I hope you find someone that doesn't make you feel so anxious and let's you be comfortable being you.
