There are moments that I enjoy. Like going out with my friends, or dancing all night at a party. But then I go home and realize moments like that don’t last forever, and I’m just as lonely as I was. And it breaks my heart every time this happens and I feel alone again and again. I recently went on a road trip with my two closest friends and I had such a wonderful time, and I truly love them. But now that I’m back home I feel so heartbroken and lonely. Does anyone else experience this? I just want to know why I am never content with these times. Why do I feel so empty when they end?

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way but you’re definitely not alone! I’ve had some times like that as well but it’s been a long time- years for me -since I’ve really truly had that -a fun time with friends laughing, dancing! I miss it! So all I can say is treasure it while you hav it and be thankful for it! Just know not everybody gets even a few x’s like that! Maybe if you’re feeling lonely and sad the way I do at times try &reach out &help others less fortunate or who are in pain try to help or cheer them up if u ca or say something nice kind or caring whatever good thing you can-I don’t knw it’s hard I know!!! Just some thoughts hope the best to you🌸

I too have the same emotional experience when I am at home. I own a four bedroom house and up until about 8 months ago every room was full (I have 4 daughters). A separation with my wife has left me sitting alone in this house and the once pride I had in my home has become a dungeon. Stress and ongoing depression throughout my life caused me to quite my job of 15 years recently and isolate myself away from the world. I kno I need to make a change because my surroundings keep me in a constant state of depression. Is it possible that something is weighing on you that you don’t like to be alone. Maybe it’s time for a change as well a new chapter

Hi you are not alone as I feel exactly the same after a good time. I dread the going home alone bit as it makes me feel even lonelier than ever. x

I'm sorry that you feel so alone. It is good that you were able to spend time with your friends. It is helpful to have some hobbies you enjoy to keep you busy in your spare time. I enjoy walking outside, photography, and making crafts to lift my mood
