Isolated

[Nat97gh]

Do you ever feel like you want community and friends so badly but your social anxiety/ depression hold you back? It's so lonely at times 🥺.

I do

I know I do. It's funny, my friendship is seldom there for me when I need it the most. "If you cry, cry alone", that's a true description of my life story.

But at least I still have you folks ❤️

I do! I live alone with my adult disabled son & I’m lonely for adult conversation and company yet when the opportunity arises, I get anxious and want to cancel the arrangements.

I bitch I don’t see my other sons and my grandbaby but I’m too depressed and unmotivated to want to do anything other than what is necessary for me & my son to get through another day.

I’ve got a 6 week break from caregiving duties as my son is visiting my ex in another state & instead of connecting with friends, family or even taking a short vacation here I sit in the house, totally unmotivated yet envious of others I see on FB traveling & living the life!

Yes but not badly. Sometimes I want to be around others and sometimes I don't. Time has changed the way people treat one another so I tend to shy away from outings etc. Plus. I don't want people to see the emptiness in my eyes

Yes 😞. I want so badly to become close friends with someone, yet my anxiety gets in the way and I never leave home barely anymore. If I'm out longer than an hour I get bad panic attacks now and I hate it. So Im lonely alot and it's mentally draining
