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...

Im feeling extreme loneliness this morning, as i always do and have been feeling for a long time. I cant seem to ever numb my anxiety , IT IS ALWAYS THERE, which makes it hard to ever go anywhere or meet anyone new, I know i have a lot of social troubles like anxiety and i feel strange always. I Just feel so alone, i dont have any friends in my small town and i have given up on making any. My depression and anxiety is so much to deal with tht i just numb myself and stay alone. I cant even be around my family for long, the anxiety gets so bad but yet i hate staying alone and being alone. I hate depression and anxiety. I Cant stop crying.
Im a 25 female and i normally never even join anything on the internet, i find it never helps but right now i AM SO DESPERATE.

welcome to our corner of the Internet.....we care about others here and I know there are some things to try that you have given up on but need to go outside the box....you are at the age where men are looking for you to take on dates and eventually get married....it is not that uncommon for a man to take an interest in someone just like you with all your issues....he might have a few of his own so you have to beware a bit....anway.....hope you will try to do things like go out to dinner by yourself where you might run into a waiter or other diner with interests in a gal like you....hugs that is just the start....

I'm a 60 year old female and can relate to your post. I'm uncomfortable when I'm around too many people for too long and yet get very, very lonely wnen I'm alone for even a short time. Like you, I have no friends in my small community and having trouble finding a place, like a therapy group, to share my feelings with others. People who advise me to go to, say, the senior center, don't seem to understand.

My anxiety is always there as well. and like you, I have trouble meeting new people or traveling to different places. I too hate the depression and anxiety. I know not to expect these feelings to just vanish but coping is difficult.

I feel the loneliness as well, all times of the day but especially in the night time when I'm just in bed thinking. It's hard to deal with, very, at 23 I find that most other people my age are already having their own group of friends and most are with their romantic partners. I feel left alone a lot of the time, I've been single for a fair amount of time now and find it hard to connect with people still. Most people seem too self centered to care much about people outside of their own life and not very welcoming to someone new.
