I'm so sorry you feel so alone right now. Is there at least one person you could reach out to? If not, I'm totally here for you. Sending love and kindness your way...

Thankyou mvillarreal . Not really the two friends that I do have one of them well she loves it when I'm low and down that way she gets to play at been the carer you know the sort . She loves to tell people about all the good things and people that she helps . So I can just see her now . And the other only likes it if theirs something in it for her just in a different way . My family don't really understand and would sooner not be involved. Sounds really sad when you say it out loud πŸ˜•.

Hidden I'm sorry. Yeah. Unfortunately, nowadays, too many people only care about "what's in it for me." Have you maybe considered going to therapy? At least then, you'll have one person to talk to.

I've been going to therapy since last October. Can't say it helps all that much .

Yes, the loneliness is terrible. It is partly caused by your circumstances, and partly by the covid virus which keeps us from doing any type of normal activities. I am very lonely too. Is there any possibility you could find a friend in the refuge center where you are living. I would bet you are not the only lonely one there. Try saying hello every time you pass someone in the hall and see what happens.

Hello b1b1b1. Yes I do speak to all of them here . There are 5 of us . All battling with one thing or another . They don't seem to want to have normal conversation. Its all doom and gloom . But I did do one thing that made one of them laugh. I heated up a knife.. I here you say what for .. haha . It was to make holes in a plant pot as I didn't have anything else to make them with and yes it worked thankyou 😊.

I thought it was a much larger place. Do you have any access to a social worker? Also, maybe you could pick one of the 5 that you like the best and invite her to your room for a chat.

OK, I understand. That makes it difficult. Is there a nearby church you could go to? People in a church will be very friendly and there are some activities. Talk to the case worker about your loneliness, as well.

Yes I have said to my case worker And I'm not really religious. And have had not so nice experience in church with RC anyway . But thats another conversation πŸ™„. And I guess with covid that stops us from doing so much .

Do you have a friend that you trust, or a parent? I'm so sorry you are lonely. I get lonely too. I have to try to thing about the good things in my life that remind me to be happy and when I'm very lonely I reach out to a friend just to talk. We are here for you anytime you need to vent. Hugs to you!!!
