Anyone feels lonely.

I feel so lonely all the time now like there's this emptiness in my life can't describe it but it makes me feel anxious and emotional. Even though I have family and friends feels like I'm still lonely.

Hi I emphasise with you. I have family and friends too but I often feel lonely. Sometimes you can be lonlier in company than you can on your own. If its not the right company. Don't have any answers I'm afraid.

Hi,

Yes me too..feel so lonely...I think it is because the people I do know don't understand the illness I have and it makes me retreat to my bedroom.....partly not their fault....I choose to remain quite private about my illness too so some people can think I'm unsociable.....when actually I'm not but I just can't go everywhere.....it's good to have the friends on here who understand, although would love to have a coffee with a friend I could trust, who understood..

I feel very lonely when at rock bottom. I try and find some things to do that I know like to do and also pick the phone up and talk to someone - even the Samaritans can be really helpful and you don't have to be suicidal.

Hi Ahmed.

I can relate to what your saying about the loneliness. It is because other people do not understand the illness and how we feel. Just because we look ok on the outside, people assume it is just a thing that can be shaken off. But it isn't. Like I have said in previous blogs. I would do anything to rid myself of this terrible illness.

I am happy to have an understanding friend(S) inbox if you like. That is open to anyone.

Hi Ahmed

I can relate to this too, and for similar reasons as all the others have mentioned, I find I tend to have periods of loneliness, and periods where I'm quite happy to just be with myself.

In the summer though, I often feel lonely walking around etc, as I think back to adventurous summer days when I was kid, and kinda wishing it could be like that again, then I find myself with just me sort of thing, because generally I've probably cut myself off from friends and any opportunities to really do anything, or go anywhere with anyone...even though on some level I would really like to...and I know most people probably are... I know I have created that really for whatever reason, but at the same time it's like some part of me is realizing that there is so much more I could be doing, experiencing etc.. and it also feels like I would be a lot more inspired to do it too, if I had company with me that understand, or even experienced anxiety, depressions etc, themselves.

Yes, I feel lonely too, can't do so much as regular people do..I love the sun and the beach, but I have to stay away from it. When I talk to my family about my problems, the next day they ask me to go shopping at noon, they couldn't fully understand even they say they do. Sometimes, I just want to get busy to forget about my problems but I can't do to much because my rash will make me crazy and my hands swelling up. But talk to some of you here, it's definitely help for my emotions. Good luck to all.
