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.

I was in a hurry to start the day. I rushed to the Laundromat at 7 am to wash two blankets and four loads. To my surprise, lots of people were there when doors opened! I started feeling overwhelmed. Couple of people wanted to talk , but I felt it was too early and looked the opposite direction. So overwhelmed, I went home afterwards and got back into bed at 930 am. I woke up at 2 pm
I stayed in bed once I woke up. I started scrolling and looking at a MI lighthouse map. Then I looked at a list of MI coffee shops. Then I looked at a list of malls in Michigan. My hope was to find a places where I can find an in person friend. BUT WAIT, I have family and acquaintances in my actual phone contacts. Guess I just have to be willing to reconnect. My point, maybe some of this loneliness is self inflicted isolation.
So, I'm finally dressed, 3 pm. Going to Noodle and Co, then the library, and end with my daily walk
P.S. Why haven't Travis (another mall walking guy) and I exchanged numbers? We've had a few short convos and have been waving at each other for almost 2 years. Maybe I will be brave the next time I see him....

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance.

Good for you getting a nice long nap in
It sounds like you still hsd a full day
I'm sorry that you're feeling lonely
Maybe Travis would like a coffee???...xo
Maybe when you see Travis there, you can ask if he wants to get something to drink... Could say "because I was just heading over to the food court...."
Maybe that would be easier than thinking of a way to ask for numbers exchanged? You could ask about the phone numbers when you two are at the food court :)
Good luck! Sounds like a great idea to get numbers exchanged.
