Thanks Maria, good read! I had a great life until I suffered PTSD. My fur babies have taught me how to trust & love again. I have reconnected with the outside world, one step at a time. Hugs! Brooke
Not Perfect, but Progress!
Maria, thanks for the article...a lot of good information. It sounds like one of their recommendations to braking the loneliness cycle is to curb negative thoughts. However, what makes this frustrating for me is that I'm a very positive person. I'm definitely a "glass half full" type person who looks for the positives in bad situations, looks at the good in people while ignoring the bad, and I have a good self-image of myself...so if I'm generally a positive person and not a negative person, loneliness is still a big factor in my life...which after experiencing a life time, makes it difficult to hope things might change.
my computer won't let my click on the site fir some reason, ;-(
