Feeling Alone

So it's been almost a year since I was on here properly, i've felt alot better been looking after my health more than ever however slowly i've been feeling more and more alone...my confidence isn't what it used to be and I don't really know if I have what it takes to change anything...at least not yet

I don't really expect responses...just sometimes feels good to say how you feel out loud...even if nothing changes

Hello!

It's weird and sad how with our technology we are better connected than ever before yet never so alone.

You have what it takes, just takes time and effort to build your confidence back up. Set small goals to prove to yourself, that will help with your confidence.

Thank you :) i'll get there I hope :)

You know catk1991, I to feel like I'm not sure if I have what it takes to change. Something always seems to pull me back in to old thinking and acting negative or dramatic. But despite that I'm still pushing on because I want to be different and feel more in touch with myself. All I can do is keep telling myself I can I know I can .... think that bit might be out of the wizard of oz haha but never the less I need to try and believe in myself. Wishing you luck my lovely .

It's been a while since I've been on here too. I seem to post when I am going through a rough time and this seems to help me cope with my issues. I have two others in my house and I feel alone quite a bit. I'm learning that everyone is different and they may not be ignoring us but their minds are elsewhere. Everyone is different.

COVID isn't helping our situations either. Every day, try to do something that someone will appreciate. Help an elderly neighbor, reach out to someone by phone or video technology. This can be the salve you seek.

Thank you :) very true I think i'm just hoping the bigger picture will be here sooner but it takes mini steps to get there first, like you say I think this platform helps as we all can relate to eachother in alot of ways and it helps :)

Well I would say that if you have been feeling a lot better and have been looking after your health for this past year, which has been the HARDEST year for most of the planet, you definitely do have what it takes! I think for a lot of us the loneliness is just the result of this being such an extended period of distancing. I am starting to feel like things are beginning to shift back toward the opportunity for personal interaction again with being able to get out and go places again. Are you seeing that in your area yet?

Very true it has been a hard year and like you say things are starting to head towards normal again, I think like you say it's more the social interaction side of it, I am trying to make the effort to make plans for when we are able to be socialising more so hopefully that will help, most of my feeling of loneliness tends to be at home, I live with a room mate but he just lives his own life and I live mine so sometimes it's not the nicest of living situations but hopefully things will get better

Yep, that makes sense that the lack of interaction at home would feel extra lonely when you are not able to compensate with other outside interactions. Would you consider looking for a different room mate/living situation?

I’m here and we are here your not alone. Talk it out. You can do it. The change
