Loneliness

Loneliness

I have come onto this site because I want to deal with my feelings of loneliness and because what I have done to date has not been 100% successful

I think that my wellbeing is being undermined by it and I think that my mental health is quite affected as well

I am sure it is possible to overcome loneliness though at the moment I am not sure how to do it

I do everything I can to avoid loneliness and I am afraid of the feelings of powerlessness it gives rise to

If anyone has suggestions or advice I would be grateful for your replies

I was asked: "are you OK?"

And I said no.

Life changed for me, because I opened up.

I've made new friends. And since lost some really fast, too! .. 🤔

But even though I might be able to 'shoot the breeze' or share texts with people now, there is still something/someone missing - it feels like...
