Hey @KittyLove1984 ,

I've just re-read your post again, and it's pretty brave of you to step out to give the chat a go and to post here.

I recognise it is hard when you feel alone, and you really need to chat to someone.

Hopefully, you can connect to others here on the forums and feel less alone.

As for your question about self-acceptance, it's a tough one. What I've learnt is that when something isn't working in life, they we learn more about ourselves. When we learn more about ourselves, we learn to accept the things in our lives that we cannot change.

Is this what you mean?

What are some things you like doing in your spare time?

Hey @KittyLove1984 , I'm here for you, and I'm here with you. I know it seems like we are far away but my spirit is with your spirit right now. I feel you. There are ways that can get you meeting other people. A craft or a pottery group? Something chill. A BPD or an ASD support group? I'm bipolar and I've done a couple of bipolar support groups in the past and they were really good. Can you volunteer? I have found good friends on Bumble BFF, I've had great success on that platform. Where there is a will there is a way, and it sounds to me like you have the will. I am praying for you and I am with you. Sending love.

Hi there KittyLove1984,

So sorry to hear of your struggles.

And good on you for reaching out.

I have family close by, but for various reasons can't call on any of them for support. So definitely feeling the loneliness some days myself.

I'm wondering if a pet is an option for you? Although, they can be expensive too! And not quite the same as talking with a friendly human!!

I have found music definitely helps me some days - passes the time, improves my mood etc. Or I wonder if there's any small groups you could reach out to at a local library or community centre.

I definitely hope you find at least one friendly human to connect with to ease the loneliness! 😊😊

Hi @KittyLove1984 🙂

Thank u for sharing, I also deal with the feelings of loneliness. I’m still figuring it out myself, so I don’t have anything for you to try at the moment as I have little ideas like yourself 😕

I just wanted to say you’re not alone with your feelings 😊

Hi @KittyLove1984 . thanks for sharing. Do you have any pets? Do you know pets are best therapy for loneliness and to keep us busy in our thoughts
