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 sit here alone again and in the depths of my despair I finally decide to reach out to see if anyone else is there.
My ex husband cheated on me 6 years ago (after 20 years together) and just walked out in a whim one night leaving me as a single mother.
I truly feared that I would never trust anyone again and never thought I would open my heart up until I fell hard for a guy at work after he told me all the things I had always wanted to hear, he wasn't even my 'type', it just happened. Probably my low self esteem i would say. A year down the track and he won't commit to me (it's a whole other story). Anyway I don't want to dwell on that now but he's showing me all the same signs of losing interest in me and I can't help but wonder, how do I always end up here?
I am always the one lifting everyone else's spirits around me and I know why I do it, because I know what it's like to be lonely and at rock bottom.
Do people just initially like me because I make them feel good about themselves and then lose interest in me once they start feeling better about themselves and suck all the good stuff out of me? I'm tired of it, it's a never ending cycle.
It doesn't just happen with men, it happens with friends and in the workplace too.
People just use me up and toss me away.
It's exhausting and I can recognise it in myself but I can't change who I am and I truly care for others, too much it seems.
i just wonder, will I forever be alone? It sure seems like it. I'm scared to love, scared to trust and scared to commit but also desperate to love, desperate to trust and desperate to commit.
I found my happy place when I became single (it was a horribly emotionally abusive marriage anyway) and I was in a good place until I fell in love again.
I think I'll forever have my walls up now, it's not worth it... but I feel so alone.

I've started searching for a new job, but I really don't want to start again. I've worked at a certain law office for about 4 years. The managers haven't changed but the turnover rate for the associates has been about 95% in the last 4 years!!! We get new clerks each semester, which is great. The cases are extremely stressful. The paralegal and office manager are very toxic (unorganized,...

I accidentally deleted a journal entry that I wish I hadn't. Is there any way to get it back?
So, try to avoid the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated because it's what's draining your energy. Just keep shining your light of love and compassion and you will be surprised at how far that will take you!

At least u have a job that u can distract yourself or enjoy. I was a stay at joke mom, before that, basically did charity work and now after 3 years divorced, I am finding it hard to get back into the workforce. It’s scary. My friends don’t understand, feel like I have nothing in common with them anymore . I hope things r a bit better for u as a bit of time has passed since your post. If u need a friendly ear, I am happy to chat. I completely understand how u feel.
I've been told that I'm a nurturer naturally. so it's hard to cut back on that due to the compassion we have for others.
My prayer for me is for God to help me to choose the right people that adds, supports, and has my best interest at heart for my life. Those that aren't for me to go in another direction and don't let me do things based upon my feelings but by his plans.
I hope what I've said has been encouraging and please feel free to message me anytime.
Stay positive and keep being loving!!
