Lonely

[Mskitty21]

I strongly dislike needing to talk to someone… anyone… and nobody answering. I survive but it would be so helpful to have someone like my mom who always would talk when I needed to.

Hope everything is doing good today ❤️

You can always talk to us here. I am so sorry you don't have your Mom to talk to.

[Mskitty21 in reply to gajh]

Thank you for your kind words dear 😊 I miss my mom so much and there’s just no one or nothing that can replace that relationship.

[gajh in reply to Mskitty21]

How long ago did you lose her?

[bethelbee in reply to Mskitty21]

My mom passed in 1987 at the young age of 60 and I miss her every day. You're right, nothing and no one can replace that relationship....my thoughts are with you.

[Mskitty21]

3 years ago. Losing your mom is a tough one. We had issues and everything but still had a close relationship especially in the last probably 10 years (she was an alcoholic for about 20 years before that).

[gajh in reply to Mskitty21]

I can't imagine the loss. I am grateful to still have both my Mother and Father. They are both 80 years old so I definitely worry about losing them. I can't imagine my life without them. Other than the two of them I only have my boyfriend in my life. I don't talk to anyone else in real life. I have developed a few friendships on this site so I do have people to talk to here. It is so good talking to people here because they understand about depression and anxiety. I hope you can make some connections here for having someone to talk to. It is really important to not be alone.

Sorry you are so lonely. Know that I am here for you. Know that God loves you and is always with you no matter what.

[Mskitty21 in reply to BedBug]

Thanks for the kind words and the reminder ❤️ I do like to imagine an angel with me all the time and that eases my mind so much 😊

It sucks when you need to talk and no one's around. I hope you were able to get through that moment.

[Mskitty21 in reply to LadyZen]

I did and it was fine. It’s just something I have to work thru and learn to be ok with. ❤️

It's awful to lose a parent, I lost my mother when I was 11 and my dad wasn't there when I needed him most. Grew up bouncing around siblings, this is definitely a place to reach out as I am recently recovering from severe anxiety as I am an empty nester and was a single father. This is a safe place to talk to other people struggling, we are here to support one another so feel free to reach out anytime

[Mskitty21 in reply to Spokesmith]

I am a recent empty nester too… nobody told me mid life was gonna hit so hard so I was a little taken aback by it. It’s like you have to build a whole new life.

[Spokesmith in reply to Mskitty21]

Yes you are correct, I had no idea myself and there's no manual. Starting over is rough especially when your kids want nothing to do with you. Feel free to reach out anytime. Having someone to talk to that can relate is crucial to recovery.

[Mskitty21 in reply to Spokesmith]

Thank you 😊

[Mskitty21 in reply to Spokesmith]

Was just wondering how you were doing thru the holidays. I had anxiety about all my kids coming home for Christmas and now that they are starting to head back to their regular lives I’m kinda really struggling. I posted on the regular page but nobody responded and I had remembered you said you struggled with being an empty nester to. Just thought I’d reach out and say hey and that this sucks.

[Spokesmith in reply to Mskitty21]

Hi there, it's wonderful that you got to see your kids. I didn't hear from mine and I'm just going to have to accept it. I've started a new job and its keeping my mind busy, maybe some day they'll come around and in the meantime I have to move on with my life. Thanks for reaching out, it's really been tough and the struggle is real. Thank God for ativan,

[Mskitty21 in reply to Spokesmith]

Thanks for responding back 😊. I’m so sorry you didn’t hear from your kids 🙁 I have four and there is one that doesn’t speak to me much either and it is difficult. my depression and anxiety are… or seem to be so much better when my kids are home so it makes it that much harder when they leave. But I can’t keep them from living their lives as they want to either because that’s even worse.

I’ve got some projects to work on and things in mind to do….and I think once I get back into my routine I’ll be ok. It’s just when I posted my oldest had just left and I was deffffff struggling. For me it’s thank goodness for clonazepam 👍🏻

I hope today is better for you 😊

[SayNOtoPanic]

Hang in there Mskitty. You’re not alone. Just post like you did now and say hey anyone out there. Big hugs. I’m sure your mama is there with you watching over you. 🙏🏻

There are some great people to talk to on here.

[Midori]

As an international Community, there's almost always somebody around, due to Time differences. I'm on GMT, so I know folk in Eastern America are just waking up and Australians are almost all going to bed.

I understand what you mean about missing your parents, especially at this time of year. Both mine have passed long time back, and it still feels strange to be the Matriarch of my family.

Cheers, Midori

[Lovesdogs2]

I would also like someone to talk too 💖💖

[SRNM]

I can relate to how you feel. I lost my mother in February this year. A day doesn't go by when I don't miss her.

No matter what our age - we always miss our parents. I think of all the good memories I have with her, and try to remember all the good things she taught me.

Take care. 🙏
