i feel so lonely all the time...
Why?
I don't know really. I hang out with my friends and family, go to school, go to work. But it all feels so empty. So meaningless. And I feel like I dont have anyone who understands that in my life.
I'll be your friend =)
I have the same feeling and i don't know why.
Thanks bball! Have you found any way, Danielle, to combat it?
I know exactly how you feel. It's hard to overcome this horrible feeling.
I know how you feel. Unfortunately I don't think there's a magic cure. Spend as much time with your friends as you can, laugh with them and keep laughing! I know it sounds silly but I always feel better after seeing mine and laughing with them
I do alright during the day.....It's the evening that I have a hard time getting through.
I was married for 25 yrs 6yrs divorced its getting harder
Do you have anyone in your life you talk to to make it any better? That's what I feel I need to find
I have gone to therapists, but rehashing 25 years because overwhelming. Many friends say "embrace your alone time" easy for those who have husbands/wives/significant others.
Are you looking for a significant other? You'll need to find happiness in yourself and not expect others to fill it in for you. Do you have any hobbies, career aspirations or stuff like that? I felt lonely too, even in a relationship - marriage to be exact. We both were, because there was no communication or personality, from my side.
Keep going to therapy, even if it's for monthly maintenance. It helps you unravel all of the things and you'll find your own company being your best friend. Only then can you give yourself to someone else and not expect them to fill your void. I coped with my loneliness by watching YouTube videos, How-to's, trying to read article relevant to my interests and getting into long and personal conversations with my friend. Also, I do not have many friends. Quantity never out weighs quality. ;)
Good luck! Kisses...
