how to feel complete?

[Cherry2003]

Hello

I am desperate, these last few days I have felt lonely, I have tried to find friends through social networks, but it does not work, I cannot go out with my friends because in my country there is quarantine, I do not know how to feel accompanied, my family does not know what What happens to me because they wouldn't understand it, that loneliness stresses me, I can't even focus on my studies, I'm just thinking of looking for someone to talk to, no I don't know how to feel complete, I don't know how to be the friend I need, I don't know if I'm the only one going through this please help me

My recommendation would be try to find some hobbies you enjoy and use that to help you cope and also use it as a conversation starter to help you make friends. Add that to this website and you will definitely find some people you can talk to

Thanks for helping me, but I want to confess that it is difficult to concentrate on something, but I will try to find new hobbies.

[Dragon3695 in reply to Cherry2003]

Trust me. I know how that is. My focus and concentration are not very good

[Cherry2003 in reply to Dragon3695]

Ohh thank you, do you recommend any hobbies?

[Dragon3695 in reply to Cherry2003]

I just started coloring mandalas. It is very relaxing

[Cherry2003 in reply to Dragon3695]

Wow, I'm going to give it a try, thanks

[Dragon3695 in reply to Cherry2003]

No problem. My roommate actually recommended it to me because I'm dealing with issues keeping my mind from getting stuck in bad places

[Cherry2003 in reply to Dragon3695]

Good, right now I do, I need to relax for a few minutes

[Dragon3695 in reply to Cherry2003]

That is the one I am working on

Yep...here in Alaska, dark, cold, and lonely. Spend the last year mostly alone, except for awkward and uncomfortable family gatherings...would enjoy having more conversations about this, if you ever want to. 😊

[Cherry2003 in reply to Nikiskian]

I would love to be able to meet friends, loneliness is not the best

[Nikiskian in reply to Cherry2003]

What are Yer favorite things do Fer fun?

[Cherry2003 in reply to Nikiskian]

Wow, I like to sing, chat with someone, dance fascinates me, draw, do exercises, all these activities put me in a good mood, I had already forgotten.

[Nikiskian in reply to Cherry2003]

Hearing how passionate you are about these wonderful activities, cheers me up! Most of my interests have been put away until I can find a way to get out of a long journey of deep depression...been finding a few people online to visit with, but rarely do I mention my mental health issues. Here is the only place that I feel truly open about these things.

[Cherry2003 in reply to Nikiskian]

I understand you and agree with you, thanks to this community I have been able to make good decisions and reflect on my actions ... thank you for helping me

Loneliness is the worst. I’m married but I’d be less lonely if I lived alone. Message me anytime to chat🙂

Yep it's hard. Especially today. Reminded of how single I am haha. I'm just finding stuff that will take a lot of my time. Watching sports, movies, reading...

[Cherry2003 in reply to Kainan]

I'm learning to be alone, I've been single for 17 years, I'm still single, sometimes loneliness floods me with depression, but here I still struggle.

I think we all don't feel complete, or the person we need to be. Life is that journey for us to find ourselves, but its just not as fun as when we were kids. I miss those days so damn much, but understand that kid is still there. Look to the things you love and people will follow, you are a good person and strong as well. Just being here shows that you are strong enough to share your story and kind enough to listen to others. I hope your day gets better and that you feel better overall. You are worth being here.

[Cherry2003 in reply to Ganeshh]

The most beautiful thing that I have read in the day, I thank you for your nice words and you are absolutely right, life is that trip that we must enjoy, sometimes we forget what we like and we only get more stressed, thanks again because now I remember the activities that I like to do the most ...

You aren’t the only one I don’t know if it helps to know that who knew this pandemic would last this long! The weather here doesn’t help its lonely and hard to deal with
