Feeling alone whilst trying to heal/work on things.

I think i can deal with feeling lonely, i've learned that being okay in my own company or skin is how i can begin to feel less lonely. But feeling alone is what i struggle with. Thoughts of "am i easy to let go of" to "why do people make things harder then it need to be".

But i feel so alone, because the people around me -family- are just a stuck in their ways -negative lifesyle choices and ways of thinking - and I'm just trying to not be stuck in mine.

All I'm trying to do right now is survive and keep myself safe, well and alive, and with that means i'm working through some things and reaching to professionals for help, and it isnt easy but i know its the best i can do.

I hope it helps you to feel a little less lonely connecting here with others who are also trying to improve their lives. You truly are not alone.

I have these thoughts alot, it's actually nice to see I'm not the only one.

I try to look at it like I'm choosing to feel alone, rather than go along with their toxic ways. So it's actually good that I don't feel a kinship with someone who's not working on healing. And since it's my choice, it's under my control.

Also telling myself that once the right people are in my life, they won't find me so easy to discard.

I wish you the best while you are in this time of transition toward a better life.
