just a little lonely tonight

[CanYouHearMe]

Hi,

Just feeling a little down and lonely tonight. So looking to see who else might be feeling the same and willing to say hi, or shared what they have done today?

Hi how are you feeling now hopefully you are managing to relax, we all at times feel alone but as I've discovered someone is always willing to say hello you are not alone , sending you best wishes and s friendly smile , just message me anytime I'm off to bed now its almost 2300.hrs , but if you message me I will answer you tomorrow. Good night my friend.

Hello,

I also am struggling and feeling alone. I feel your pain. I am a retired RN but haven’t worked in years due to my depression and I have noticed my world getting smaller and smaller. My son is a God send but the rest of my family aren’t interested in helping or even chatting with me. Is anyone else in this position?

[BeagleHeart in reply to Matricul8]

Not exactly the same situation but similar in that for years I was lead to believe by my sibling that if I moved closer to our hometown that my presence and guidance would be appreciated given my niece and nephew are going down a bad road. Instead I got pitted between allowing my sibling to use/abuse me or lose contact. I chose self-respect. They both just became adults, moved away, and for some unknown reason they choose not to engage with me. It's just my wife, our dog, and I way out in bumtucky rural Egypt surrounded by folks who seem to be so enamored in their own lives they can't afford to pause for any given moment.

[CanYouHearMe in reply to BeagleHeart]

I get it. My opinion of my niece and nephew has never been appreciated either. I think it is because they feel I don’t have kids so I would not understand. But sometimes it is just common sense.

[CanYouHearMe]

yes. I can relate. My family lives away, plus they don’t understand or have clue to the real me. I used to have a tight group of 3-4 friends but this year I feel like things are changing and they are slipping away. Leaving me to me.

Most of it is just life, but one I feel is different and it hurts the most. I worry that one day o will be alone . That really s area me

Hello hope your ok

[MorningDanceTrece]

I'm sorry I didn't find this last night when you made it and it might have been more helpful for you to make a connection.I'm frequently feeling lonely and alone and sad and wishing I had more connections.

I did get an awesome blessing yesterday with a long telephone conversation with my son which was quite lovely.

I hope that you're feeling better now and if not I hope that this message helps

[CanYouHearMe in reply to MorningDanceTrece]

It is ok! It still means something to me that you still reached out today! Glad you had long conversation with your son! That is wonderful!

[MorningDanceTrece in reply to CanYouHearMe]

How are things going now?

[CanYouHearMe in reply to MorningDanceTrece]

See my reply under rufus07. Was an ok day .

[Rufus07]

I too was feeling sad and lonely last night. Random outbursts of crying. It gets so tiring. I’m just tired. I’m sorry you had a bad night. I hope you are doing better today.🙂

[CanYouHearMe in reply to Rufus07]

Thanks. And I relate being just tired and random crying

I was doing ok, but messed up stuff with a board I am on despite communicating my plan, and now that I took action, i have questions about why I did that. 😢 just defeating. But as I was typing this made thinking of some tools my therapist has given me so I think I am going to pause and reflect on that.
