I am genuinely wondering if what I am feeling is depression or loneliness / isolation.

I went to meditation group and just felt out of it. Kind of curmudgeon. But I didn't say much. Someone said hi to me, I said hi back, but I just feel so out of it. I even said so. I wish I could connect more. I don't feel that I have much connection in my life. But I also feel that today its hard to form them. It hurts.

Maybe thats ok. Maybe it won't always be this way. I tend to look at these things like...things that need to be fixed RIGHT NOW. Maybe, even though I don't like it though, I can take care of myself in other ways. Exercise, knitting, music, even cleaning. Nature. Maybe it is ok to be alone. Even though I don't technically like it.

If you don't like it, then it's not ok. You have to feel happy and content with yourself... also, remember that things don't have to stay that way. I'm sorry you're feeling so lonely...

Thanks Mickey. I extended some support through a text to someone I thought was a friend. She didn't even write back.

Edit: She wrote back.

And I think you're right. I always try to put a positive spin on things to make myself feel better. But not having people in my life who give a **** HURTS.
