I'm sorry. I don't have anyone either, except my dad. it sucks when you have little to no one to care about you, help you, or even just talk to. :'(

So many things were hard and challenging to understand long before COVID19 came about. Thinking that things could not get any worse at times soon faded as our lives were further turned upside down with isolation. Many of the small but important joys were taken away. I hear your pain and feel your worries as it must indeed feel like a hopeless outlook on having a happier normal life again. With only a few tangible things in common, I still share the feelings of fear and loneliness in a world of uncertainties. As I've read your postings, I offer all the best wishes and to say you are not alone. I encourage you to stay strong and focused on making a plan that helps you begin a journey of comfort and peace. The one thing I know for sure is that we all deserve to breathe in a refreshing sense of being and belonging to our own happiness. gentle hugs

I feel alot like that. No body seems to care about anyone else these days. We are not all in this together. That is a farce put out by the media. We are all alone and isolated. At least you can get out to a job. I lost mine. Mom isn't well. Life sucks right now.

Yes it sucks, especially if you don't have much of a family and don't see them, to boot. I notice everyone I knew in the past are all involved with their big families now, and some of them have grandkids too that really adds to an already big family. Before COVID, I'd keep the lonliness in check by keeping active, working part time, going to the gym, volunteering....now I can none of those. My friends are always busy with their families, and some of my small family members are just certifiably odd. I was also thinking of taking a trip/vacation on my own to get away, but now we're so limited w/the COVID. I don't know what the answer is, or how long the problem will last, but it has definetly changed me. As soon as I can, I'm going to take a trip that's for sure. Hang in there, that's all we can do.

Deleting my social media has helped me immensely with these exact feelings.

I am over my life. I just want to move to the Netherlands where euthanasia is legal. I freaking hate everything. If i have to be lonely the rest of my life i am done. I am over and done. This is not a threat for me to do anything but i am over it. In my profession we euthanize things that are suffering- I am a vet. . I feel that NOBODY has the right to tell a suffering human that they need to just hang on unless they have the means to improve that person’s life.

I'm trying to figure out how to word this question because I don't want to upset anyone. Do you think covid will be permanent and are you blaming covid for being lonely or just people in general? Also what do you think needs to happen for your life to improve so you won't want to have yourself put down?

i'm totally alone 24/7 365 days a year except when i'm at work. we wear masks 8 hrs a day 5 days a week. i risk my life every day just going to work. my friends don't give a crap about me and my family thinks i'm overreacting. so i too go to work and come home. that's it. i'm lonely too but not to the point where i wish i was dead. we are all having a rough time right now because this was so swift and so overwhelming. it's naturally going to upset our lives to the point where it's pushing the boundaries of what we can tolerate. i try to keep busy and not worry about it. i hope things get better for you.

Hey all of you— none of you are truly alone! You’re NOT alone. There are people everywhere going through the same thing. And no matter how bad your situation, you can almost always do something to improve it.

Please, start journaling, see a therapist, even online, and just as important— join meetup groups that share your interests!! Those of you saying you don’t have friends or family— make new ones. And if you do have anyone you can talk to currently, then call and talk to them every damn day if you have to.

My wife of 20 years left me during quarantine. I was devastated. I felt like I could barely breathe most days. But I have been doing all those things above and I feel better about myself now than ever, and I have met so many great people.

Also, work on yourself! Take up a new hobby, learn a new skill, get those projects you’ve putting off taken care of. Forward progress in life, in my experience, has been the number one killer of depression and loneliness.

Just hang in there, keep moving forward— you will get through this!

By the way, ‘just keep moving forward’ was my mantra for 2 months straight. Force yourself to move even if you don’t want to.. And speaking of moving— take walks daily. I forgot to mention that earlier.

Wow a vet. You help animals. You matter. That makes you worth more than most people in my eyes. I’m sorry you are missing human connection though. If you come from a dysfunctional family it can make it so hard to know how to connect with others. I hope you can find a new way of looking at life and some good friends. You deserve it.

I am sorry you are feeling alone. I think everything with 2020 has created so hard isolation challenges, especially because we became so dependent on technology and the human touch became weak. Even though I do not know you I am here to get to know you and maybe become friends. It is such a blessing to have a job, but I know we all need that friendship and companionship. What do you like to do for fun or as a hobby? I love to dance at my house, read, and listen to music.

I feel like i get a lot of advice on this page but all I want is for someone to listen to what I have to say.

Your friends are overseas. Its tricky when communicating with someone that far away. All you can do is use social media. i use face book.
