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...
If you were to ask me last week if I was lonely, I probably would have answered no. Today, I think it's a different answer this time.
My brother just sent me a video of my 1 year old nephew giggling as my parents blew bubbles. My nephew lives in Europe (I live in Canada). I cried watching the video because I miss him so much.
There are three people that I love more than anything. My 1 year old nephew, my 3 year old niece (who lives 90 minutes away from me), and my boyfriend (who lives 1500 miles from me). I love my family, my brother and sister are my best friends in the whole world. But those three, my two babies and my boyfriend, I love more than anything.
I am the kind of person who enjoys my alone time, but I never realized just how lonely I am. My brother has his family, and his sweet little boy. My sister has her family, and her sweet little girl. I am divorced (separated from my ex 3 years ago). I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years, and it's been a long distance relationship the whole time (we met online).
I know that I feel like I am waiting to be happy. I am waiting for that right moment when being with my boyfriend will be the right time. (Of course, he lives in the US, too, so we have to get married to be able to be together). I don't want to wait forever to be happy. Going through bullying, divorce, and now some health problems.....it's been a number of difficult years, and it's my turn to be happy.
I didn't realize how lonely I was until I saw that video, realizing that my little babies that I love so dearly, live so far away from me. And knowing that my boyfriend is so far from me....makes me realize that I am just plain unhappy.
I don't want to be alone anymore. I want to be happy. I want the love I know I have, here with me in the flesh. I know I will never have my babies close by me...but I want the happiness that they give me.
I just want to be happy.

Do they have any social groups in your part of Canada? If you find something you enjoy - yoga, zumba - any group that you might enjoy, at least once a week, it would probably help.
It's just a realization of knowing what I want to be happy, it was the realization that my brother and sister have what I want...happiness. We all love those kids so much, and I just wish I could love them in person a little more often.
Normally I play soccer and go to yoga, but I'm going through some health problems that are preventing me from being able to do that right now. It's just been a rough 8 months to be honest...
Lets do lunch!
Thinking of you and sending hugs.
