Loneliness

Loneliness

44 year old female desperately searching for people to talk to, human connection. Non judgmental. Open minded. I suffer from health anxiety, panic attacks, depression. New diagnosis is potential bipolar 1??? Don't have any real family support, no real other support but I believe that friendship can help with healing and gives life purpose. I've wondered sadly if it's possible to 'hire a friend '?? I'm in Brisbane area. I hide a lot behind a good sense of humour, strong willed in what I believe in but childish at times in the mind (physcologist ses due to trauma) There must be others out there who who feel similar and want to connect?? I pray someone resonates with this! NO males please put of respect for my partner. I must add , I had a mental breakdown over a year ago due to PTSD. So I'm trying to fight my way back. I stopped driving and and going out due to the severity of my panic attacks. If someone could help me, and I them it would be a absolute blessing! In closing, I hope everyone gets the help they desperately need. I'm sick of living like this. :'(

Re: Loneliness

No you're not selfish at all. I've lived alone for 15 years myself. My lonliness comes from not being married and family estrangement. But it's mainly emptiness.. I dont crave social interaction that much.

Re: Loneliness

Makes so much sense @Bonniebear ! I’m not married either and I seem to like it that way. That’s what makes me feel selfish.

I can enjoy what I want, go where I want, do what I want. I don’t have baggage.

I used to feel empty with my BPD. There was this empty void always lingering. Not any more though. I’m on top of the world. I reckon a few more years of this and I’ll retire.

@Oaktree @Bonniebear

I used to be quiet at social things, but not anymore. That’s why people think I enjoy socialising… but inside I don’t.

Re: Loneliness

I would just really like a husband.

One thats not already married and is a walking red flag preferably!!!

Ive been fighting my feelings for my boss for months. And of course once the obsession kicks in it's almost impossible to move past it. Thanks BPD for that!!
