I'm just so lonely.
That's literally all I'm feeling at the moment, I want to enjoy things and I know what things I would enjoy, but I can't seem to care. The world is just to much for me. And I don't know how to cope.
I just can't see the point in living
Well posting on this site is a good step to take care of your loneliness. There are plenty of people who can identify with you and a lot of people you can help. Keep posting and let us know how you're doing.
I feel you. So you know. 💚💚💚
I understand. I am lonely too with no job and no social life. I want to have a life and I want to be happy, but I don't know how to be happy anymore and don't know where to start to have some kind of life. Let me know if you figure something out and I'll do the same for you.
I am so sorry to hear that that's how you feel. Loneliness is a very painful feeling, it's horrible. I'm glad you're here and connecting with the message board - because that is a good start.
When I had those feelings I would use any excuse in my day to connect with people. I'd talk with the cashiers and ask them about their day, and keep the conversation going. I'd chat with the person in line in front of me. I'd shout out Thank You to the postman after he delivered the mail. I'd ask a staff member in a store where to find something. I'm not joking, any excuse to talk to someone - I used it. I felt a real need to hear my own voice and have someone listen to the words coming out of my mouth.
Over time it really made a big difference. I was single for 10 years and living alone. So I had no-one to come home to. But all the stores grew to know me, and liked me, and would ask me about my life/day/etc. I made a very dear friendship with a lass who worked in a health food store. She is still a friend now, 10+ years later.
It's all about human connection. Just talk to people, say small things, any opportunity you get. It will make you feel so much better. Plus (for me at least) I felt that I had places where I was welcome and liked.
I woke up in the middle of the night...husband laying right next to me...a beautiful daughter sleeping in her room...and felt the same way. The world is too much for me. I almost heard a little voice..just kill yourself. And it scared the heck out of me. I DONT want to kill myself. That is NOT me and I just know it. Know...that your loneliness does not define you. You are still you who can and WILL be able to enjoy those things again.
Why does the battle feels so lonely?
