i also suffer from loneliness. i don't get out of the house much, i don't have my own transportation, my husband does drive and we have a car, but he is at work all day long. i also have a son who is going through some mental issues and am scared for him like he may end up like me, with several mental problems. he is trying to drink his problems away. he is going to see a psychiatrist next week thank God.Otherwise about being lonely it is the worst thing that anyone can experience i think. sometimes we have to realize others do have their own plates full and may not be able to be there for us when we need it, even though they wish they could.
