Lonely

Lonely

Is there anyone out there who knows the feeling of having no partner and no family at all and therefore no-one really close for support. That’s me.

Hi @soppykat

I'm sorry to hear you're sad tonight. Loneliness is miserable.

I'm feeling better than usual having exhausted myself in the garden, getting takeaway and tending to the two cats.

Days pass when my only interactions are on FaceBook. I've read that meditation helps but I've not been regular enough or gone deeply enough to find out.

Everyone I know or rather, knew has a partner or close friend, and I've lost touch.

The weekend isn't easy and being Friday it's still ahead. I'll go out Sunday pm so that will help. Can you find projects? I make to-do lists then oversleep and don't achieve them lol.

Best

Dimity

Hmmm it was a pretty dumb thing for me to say especially knowing how sad and slow and heavy the feelings can be. The whys don't matter so much when I feel resentful as to why noone notices.- why not?

Happy to chat for a while if you want.

Hi @soppykat

I don't know. Maybe that question's a bit like how long is a piece of string. One answer might be it depends on where you pick it up from.

@Frogs revived this thread - are you still out there? And thanks to @Owlunar for your encouragement.

I can't fill the hole in my (or your) heart, all I can do is share empathy and experiences, and be willing to hear whatever you want to share.

Good night @soppykat, I hope you have a restful night and feel s little lighter in the morning.
