Lonely
Is there anyone out there who knows the feeling of having no partner and no family at all and therefore no-one really close for support. That’s me.

Re: Lonely

Re: Lonely
Is there any community clubs you can join in your area. There is a website/app called Meet Up that has lots of different interest groups you could join. Some of are just simple things like a walking group, writing or reading, coffee clubs.
I suffer loneliness because I have very few friends, and none of my family are nearby. So I've joined just a few clubs to decrease my isolation.
I see you're a new member here, so welcome. You'll find this place full of friendly, caring people, and while I know it's not quite the same as real life, it can at least be a place of comfort and conversation.
You can wander anywhere around the forum or create a thread of your own. If you want to talk to anyone in particular, just put an @ in front of their name to tag them. They'll then be notified.
All the best @Lula

Re: Lonely
Hello @Lula,
Yes I can so relate to loneliness, it can become completely overwhelming for me at time...My husband passed away 5 years ago now, my 3,sons all live a days drive away and never and I mean that never come visit me...I'm elderly and cannot drive that far...
There are times when I don't want to be here anymore because of my loneliness. I have BP2 rapid cycling/depression/ sever anxiety/C-PTSD. It's really so hard for me to even leave my front door at times as I get really frightened to do so..
I hope today is a better day then yesterday..
Starta.🌹

Re: Lonely
Thank you and hello @Bat_Girl, @Starta, @Former-Member, @Sans911, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom for your welcome and comments. So much appreciated. Hello to anyone else reading this too. Its nice to ‘meet’ you all
I’ve had a big day - up early, then out to meet a small group of fellow anxiety/depression/PTSD sufferers for coffee etc. It all went well but towards the end I started to get tired and then could feel the anxiety starting to build up. I couldn’t wait to get home, although to an empty house. Does anyone understand why anxiety would build up in a situation like that ? It seems crazy to me.
I’m so tired no and it’s only 4.30pm. There was a time not so long ago when I wouldn’t have responded so to this day

Re: Lonely
I've found over the last 2years with my mental health challenges that I'm constantly tired, especially after being out.
