I can feel a hurt inside but I'm not sure why exactly I'm feeling it. I'm by myself a lot and this weekend have no plans to see anyone. I've realised that my family of origin neglected me.

I wanted to get in touch with a friend, but I don't think that they are available and the friends I have all seem pretty busy.

I've had a bath, I've eaten something healthy and had a drink.

Can someone help with a suggestion for what to do when feeling like this and how to process this hurt? I think I would really like a hug.

My favorite way is journaling. Write it all out.

Hey there, I know what you mean about feeling like friends are busy. Sometimes its good to at least reach out and talk on the phone with them, just feeling you're connecting with somebody can help. Also, sometimes I'll go and see some site in the city that I've never seen when I feel this way. Maybe a museum or whatever, so my mind gets something new to process. In our town its nice weather for a walk, how is it there?

Thanks for your replies. It helped to acknowledge how I was feeling and I ended up trying both - I took a journal and went to a coffee shop and wrote for a while. Then I went for a walk through the local park.

JanAlvin - thanks for encouraging me to reach out and the suggestion to see somewhere different. I will try and ring a friend later and will have a think about where else I can go.

It was again a beautiful day today so it was nice to be out for a while.

Thanks again.
