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...

Silent Scream

Screaming silently inside yourself and no one hears you. Wanting so much to have someone just listen to you. What is it like to have those things? When they are continuous with no end in sight. I see to many doctors who give me no time to breathe fresh air. Oh how I want to break this cycle. I would have to look up on Amazon how to find the right book for this stuff. Do they make it in book form? Stuff is coming to the surface now. crying....when will it stop. how much more pain do I have to go through? Life is part of negative and positive but when negative outweighs the positive all the time it sure gets to be hopeless making me cry all the more inside.

hello and welcome to the group...
it sounds like you're in a lot of emotional pain but you have taken a first courageous step in opening up about it.
Is there more? what are you tears saying when they come to the surface?

you are not alone in suffering and you can learn to breathe here my friend.

The painting The Scream a/k/a The Silent Scream by Munch is something I have looked at many times because I enjoy art class. What I discovered is Munch's inspiration for the painting and how he sensed a scream going through nature and felt he heard it. We are so much a part of nature that sometimes we are one with it and could the scream have been from within him??? I don't know. Read below. :

"In his diary in an entry headed, Nice 22 January 1892, Munch described his inspiration for the image:

'One evening I was walking along a path, the city was on one side and the fjord below. I felt tired and ill. I stopped and looked out over the fjordthe sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream.'"

Tom. i have to say much of what you shared resonated in me. I have recently had my best friend become quite distant when he moved in with his best friend. I had feelings for him, I couldn't share as our ages were so different. I am somewhat socially isolated - know a lot of people, but have only a few close friends. I try not to overwhelm them with my depression and feelings - so feel I am carrying this grief around with me everywhere. You are not alone - there are many caring people on this site who are there for you. I hope things get a little easier for you. Best wishes

my only understanding of the scream by the artist was when it was taken to be used as a statement against abortion...which is where I always had thought it had its origins so thank you to ATGB for telling me the reality of the scream,,,,it is an interesting picture for sure...

sorry tom that your hurting right now....reaching out to us helped I hope because your getting some responses to the thoughts.....hugs bill welcome

yes i am feeling rather hopeless today myself. I really don't look forward to anything. Daily I feel this. I been like this all week. I don't see an end in site. I am unemployed for like the 10th time. Seriously, tomorrow I join weight watchers and I am really not looking forward to that, but I know I need to lose weight. I have been exercising all week, but that hasn't helped me either, now I know something is wrong if exercise doesn't help. I was taking Paxil at one time and it seemed to help, I'm thinking I may go back on it again, along with my pill. It lowers my sex drive but at this point what does it matter how can my life get any worse?

    ((I tried to post this in one of my journals...but DS kept giving me an error message)))Decided to venture to Detroit. I rarely get to this side of the state since my father was murdered on the east side about 41 years ago. My mom and I rarely went to this side, but I recall she visited the Sommset (www.thesomersetcollection.com/) mall with one of her friends a few years ago. She talked about the...
