feeling Lonley

So how can people with friends and family who say they care for you and want to help still make me feel so alone in the world? I wish we could all get on a big zoom meeting and meet each other that way. I think we would make a lot of new friends that will care and want to support us.

Hello Surfmob. Thank you for reaching out to the community. It’s good to express your thoughts with other who may relate. Many of our loved ones , friends & family don’t understand or have never gone through things that you are feeling or are living with. This makes it very difficult for them to understand but Most of the time these family members and friends do care about you immensely! They just don’t know what to do, or can’t relate. Unfortunately this leaves us (the person who is sick either mentally or physically or both) feeling alone and even more scared or terrified. I don’t know if that makes sense what I just wrote

Thanks Alex. I know they try but yes its really hard to truly understand how I feel and that it seems like my life is trapped in a bubble that I cant get out of.

Unfortunately Surfmob I know all to well what you speak of!!!!! At this current moment and for the last two months I find myself in the same exact bubble you’re trapped in and I’m falling apart! Nothing is helping me and I’m terrified of what’s next! I physically feel awful and everyone I love and who cares about me thinks it’s only anxiety related when I really feel there’s something else happening!

Hi Alex, how are you doing? Just checking in. Some days are better than others but its still just so frustrating. I try and keep myself so busy that I dont have time to let my thoughts creep in.
