Hi, I'm new to this group. It's 10 pm on Saturday night, but I'm at home- lonely, a most common refrain for most of my Saturday nights. My job keeps me pretty far from home for much of the week so I have an apartment near my job and my home here. Many times I travel too; therefore, isolation is ingrained in my routine. On the weekends, I'm just really getting caught up on the home stuff and errands that I miss out on throughout the week. I do work out and read to pass the time, but there are times I crave any human connection and feel nearly overwhelmed with despair. Just to know there are others out there who understand how I feel makes me feel a little more connected.

Hi and welcome. I've recently had to re-register here and join my groups again, but been on and off for a few years. From what I remember, the people here are very welcoming and supportive x

Hi, I really understand how you feel. As I'm typing this I'm sitting here alone with no one to talk to. I spend much of my time alone and it's hard. I hope you are feeling better this week.

I think a lot of us understand how you feel. Here it is Saturday night August 20th and I am sitting home alone on my night off hanging out with the Loneliness support group sending you this message with a smile and a HUG!

    The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

    Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety. I don't know if I should wait until it gets better or what. Everytime I've blocked him, it has tend to make me...
