I think maybe I need to get back to therapy and then focus a lot of my energy on learning a skill or something.

I hated being lonely for many years. Then I just accepted "today" I have no one in my life. Believe you I never thought in a million years that it would work. Everyday I wake up and say it, during the day I notice it and worse when I go to sleep. I use guided meditation to go to sleep. It just doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I believe I am a nice person who has not met the right people and I might never find those people and I just say "oh well they are missing out" not my problem. I don't know maybe because I am old maybe cuz I am tired of trying maybe because I am depressed maybe because I grew up as an only child, whatever it is. I find things and activities that make ME happy.
