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...

sad, lonely and anxious

I woke up this morning filled with anxiety and today is my day off. I was anxious yesterday too as I was preparing dinner for my moms birthday. my darn dog ate a large chicken breast that was only partly cooked, I grabbed him by the scruff and tossed him out the door. luckily the temps had moderated, I let him stay out there for awhile. danny decided to clean out all the food he had left to spoil in dishes right before they were coming, I asked him not to as I didn't want the dishes in the sink, he told me to do them then, not! I had done my own dishes as I was cooking. ever since this new job he has been more disrecptful then he had bee, yesterday at work I texted him if he could pick up ice cream on the way home, he texted back, hello, don't you work in a grocery store, right? I texted back I wanted a different brand wise ass. he drives right by the store coming home. he is planning on moving out in june, it is definitely past time but I will so miss the extra income, it is stressing me out badly.
I am very lonely, yet am allowing myself to stay in that situation. I belong to meet ups have never gone, to afraid.
my eating disorder is playng games with my mind, I feel so gross and ugly, it is a fight every day. work has been okay with my knee, better every day, still have to ice when home and later. next week I am going to be up to my max hours of 35, that is as high as part time can go.
I am generally sick of life, the winter is dragging me down, we are supposed to get another storm late this weekend, I am sick if it.
blahhhhhh

just even sitting outside your door helps a lot both physically and mentally

I wish I could sit out but it is way to cold. someone suggested one of those artificial sun lamps, you get the benefits of sun.

Hopefully, the very cold days will be gone soon.

Everyone is different -- the sun lamp made me irritable.

A good movie or a great book can take your mind off your worries for a while.

It seems like no trouble at all for your son to run in a store and get the specific ice cream that you want, but it probably makes him feel like he's sixteen again, running unnecessary errands - only now he's an adult, working for a living, paying rent and utilities.

Hopefully there's something you can cut out, or cut back on, a yard sale in spring - some way to make it so that you can live on your own, and not have to give up your home.

My youngest son is like that too. Sometimes the things he says cut deep. Thing is, he doesn't even realize how much he hurts me. He's just talking to me like he would to any one of his friends and that's how he sees it. I don't engage, I just complain about it to my daughter or someone else. Just want to let you know I get what you mean. Rotten kids.

I have never used a lamp, and I likely wont spend the money on one, just try and get exercise when I can, that helps me. I watched a good movie last night, so that was good. I have to stop engaging but it is very difficult at times when I say something and he doesn't get it and I repeat it over and over, and it is not things I want him to do. my feeling is that as long as he lives here I want the respect I deserve, he was not brought up this way. he makes things more difficult and straining by doing things that he knows piss me off, like leaving dirty clothes piling up in the bathroom, sink of dishes, clothes scattered, if he wants to live like a pig do it in your apartment. yes sometimes I feel rotten kids. I vent to my daughter a lot.
