I am also lonely because of my mental illness and accidents. It is the worst pain anyone could go through. I have few friends and the ones i do have have a series of mental issues themselves. If it wasn't for my mother i would be dead from loneliness, although i do have a husband and son. it is hard for them to understand my illness but give their full support i feel like such a burden, but am on meds too to help the pain. i always pray for the lonely too.
