Not Coping

Hello @tyme

How was your night?

Hello @tyme

I'm feeling very lonely today. And there's nothing can be done about it. Doesn't that just suck!?

We can be lonely together @Kyle1.

I'm crying right now.

I had a good sleep 🙂 @Birdofparadise8 Thanks for asking. It's a lovely sunny day here where I am. I might go for a walk a little later.

As for being lonely @Kyle1 , I can't say I'm lonely. I've got my forums family!

Hugs to you both

Ditto... @Birdofparadise8

You need to listen to this song @tyme.

Let me know what you think?

With loneliness, there is wanting to be alone, but not wanting to be lonely, feeling alone and being in a room full of people and still feeling utterly alone.

I just left a bustling coffee shop and it brought me undone... Kind of strange, considering how I spoke of finding positive occasions at cafe's just this morning...

Did it make you upset @Kyle1

It's a very deep song @Birdofparadise8 - possibly reflective of how you are feeling?

It's actually not uncommon that people find comfort in listening to such songs when feeling down. It provides validation and it makes one feel less alone. I know I have also done it. However, I also found that after I listen to them, I don't actually feel better because it hasn't given me hope - it merely reminds me of how rubbish I was feeling? Do you think so?

Would you challenge yourself to take the lyrics and write the opposite? A story of hope? Probably @creative_writer would be able to.

Hi@Eve7 !

yes. And I suddenly feel tired. And I have a job to go to at 1pm. I don't even know what it is, but said yes to it last night to help another friend out. And I'm as anxious as can be, but just want to... I don't know... I want something different... without expectations. Without demands. Warmth? Maybe
