I am new here

[Molly85]

Just joined up and looking for support and just others to talk to. Going through a bit of loneliness and self-doubt.

Hi Molly85 - just joined for this same reason. You are not alone.

[Molly85 in reply to Seb18]

Thank you - nice to see I am not alone

Hi👋

I suffer from self-doubt as well. And not much self-trust. And not much self-worth. I wonder if all these can be clumped together to mean low self-image?

Anyway...welcome and I hope we can help in some way.

Thank you - nice to see I am not alone (although I feel like it )

[Hidden in reply to Molly85]

You're welcome😊

I know what you mean, though. I think a lot of us can relate to feeling alone with our feelings.

My roommate recently moved out (my choice - he was an alcoholic and I just couldn't deal with it anymore). I am separated from my husband who was emotionally vacant. My children won't talk to me (except for my oldest - but he is in CA) and I am working from home due to the virus. I have hardly any contact with others and feel isolated.

Thanks for reaching out.

Hi Molly85.... welcome!

This site has been a source of comfort to me.

While I don’t wish this pain on anyone it is nice to know that you’re not alone! Hope you find peace!

Hi! I just joined last night for the same reasons. It looks like there are so many others on here that want the same. We can all help each other stop feeling lonely and possibly give some good tips. If you need anything (chat, advice, need a friend) just message me!

Hi Molly85, it's good to have you here. At times people can be lonely, I would think that volunteering at a local organization would help you to focus on a bigger picture, and look outside of your circumstances. I have volunteered to watch kids at my church, it was worth it because we could help the parents to be able to go listen to the pastor and they knew that their kids were safe with us. Volunteering is also good for you because you can find things that you like to do, it gives you a since of purpose, and you can make friends with like minded people. You will get through this time. Hang in there!

Thank you everyone - I guess the hardest thing is that my two daughters still hold a lot of anger towards me for "leaving" them. I never left them - I left their father (for reasons I have explained to them). I keep trying to have a relationship with them, but they won't respond or see me, unless they need money or something from me. My younger daughter says that her "first priority is not seeing her mother but seeing her friends".

It just exacerbates the feeling of isolation and loneliness - it would be nice for them (or someone) to call me or check in with me every once in a while.
