Hence my user name. I have just noticed lately that my family never comes to visit anymore. Including the grandchildren. The older ones, 9 and 13 seem to want absolutely nothing to do with me. This is based on recent happenings, not just in my head. My son was invited to come visit today, his wife went out of town. When I never heard from him, I called and he was out eating dinner with his son.
How I would have loved to have a break from the holiday worries and gone out for dinner with him. I would have paid my way. Needless to say, I am not handling my loneliness well today at all. I keep crying all the time. Everything seems cold, isolating and lifeless. Dull and lifeless. He promised to call me later. When I called him just now, I made an effort to not sound down and depressed. It was all fake. My posts sound so melodramatic. Poor, poor me. I should right dark novellas. Edgar Allen Poe write from a place of misery, maybe I should. Write out all my demented thoughts. No I won't do that I'm sure, it could turn into something worthwhile or productive. That doesn't sound like me at all! |

I find that families can be unpredictable and hurtful so I never rely on them to make me feel better. if I am feeling lonely I contact a friend irl or chat now with one here on PC. it is much better than feeling lonely.

Build a system of self support. You can not change what others are doing. Think more highly of yourself.

I'm so sorry your son treated you that way. Would you feel comfortable talking to him about it? Letting him know how hurt and lonely you feel?
And your post didn't seem melodramatic to me. It sounded honest. Maybe writing your thoughts out would be a good idea! Sometimes it helps me. And for what it's worth, I'm feeling depressed and lonely today too. So just hang on, and if you need to cry, cry. But above all be kind to yourself. Continue to let us know how you're doing!

Loneiness is normal for all of us. That is what makes the world go around. Feeling better about yourself helps you deal with it more effectively.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
