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...
I have no clue how to get past the loneliness. I just feel empty.
Yet when I think about any type of future relationship with someone someday...Im not sure if I would want that. I'm afraid of being heartbroken again. It's happened too many times and the last one I just cant' get over. I just feel broken. Im a single parent and my kids are at a tough age one of which is a teenager. Im raising them on my own. I have a few friends and a wonderful family. I'm so grateful for them. But I'm not sure that anyone really understands how I feel. I'm not excepting anyone too though either. I just want to feel alive again. The other night I was trying to remember when the last time was that I felt happy. Outside of the birth of my children.....I can't remember. It's been that long. I thought about joining some type of group...but childcare for my youngest is tough.
I just dont have anyone that could help watch him. There is one group in the area that is geared towards single parents and their children but they do alot of things that cost money and I'm on a tight budget. So most of the time their events are out for me. I know that they say time heals. I would really like to know who "they" are so that I can talk to them and ask....how much time ? Im blessed to have what I do have....my children, family, friends, a good job and a roof over my head. That is alot more than others have. I never take any of that for granted. I just wish I could feel whole again instead of feeling like in pieces.
Im sorry to anyone reading this because I didn't want to come across as complaining or that I"m the only one with issues. I guess for me sometimes just talking (even though I'm not really talking just writing) helps. OR it helps to know that others feel the same way. Its just so hard to feel upbeat and happy about anything.

that very tight budget and the pressure of having things come up
constantly, especially once they were teens, with no way to afford
any of it.
If you can not worry about meeting someone, you're better off. That's difficult - we were made to have a mate. I was lonely much of my twenties and thirties, but not the whole time.
I can relate totally to wanting to go out and not having a baby sitter.
The group of singles with kids - maybe you could suggest a picnic to a state park or a hike - we did that once, they really should consider that plenty of single parents have little or no
money for entertainment.
When someone you don't like talks about their problems, t-h-e-y
are complaining. We just discuss things :)
Sending you good thoughts and wishes.
