Loneliness
Today I am hyper aware at how lonely I feel. My feelings aren't muddled - I know what I am feeling
and I feel lonely - and it's pretty painful. I want to escape it by eating food or drinking an alcoholic/mood altering
drink. But I won't. I think the DBT "Distress Tolerance" tools might be a good thing to look at.
I just don't want to engage in destructive energy when I feel bad. I will reach out in other ways.
And so I will.

Thanks Chris
My worst bouts of loneliness are the ones which happen in a crowd. Is there still a me under all those assumptions being thrown at me?
Hope the distress tolerance tools help. If nothing else, they give me something to do while I wish for a cure.
thanks arfie!
