I am starting to get really down and my loneliness is taking over my thoughts.
If I don't find somebody soon I'm scared of what may happen
I know nobody here can help my situation but I ask that you keep me in your thoughts and pray for my well being in this most difficult time.
I feel weak and all alone but at least have good friends here.

I feel the same way too. I dont have anyone to speak to. I spend all my time by myself. I am afraid to reach out to people as I am wary and afraid of being around people. I dont know how to help myself. I used to be able to cope but now I feel like I have made a prison for myself I am in a deep dark pit and cant get myself out.
Thanks for this!

Sending good vibes your way ((Naturefreak)). I have a mental trick that might help....maybe not IDK. At the moment you feel you need a nice person to relieve the loneliness. You feel inpatient and it's all you can think about. I think for now you need to put it out of your mind. When I'm overwhelmed with a problem that doesn't have an immediate solution, I pretend I'm putting it in a box, way up high in a closet. This symbolizes that for now, you're not going to worry or waste strength on it.

You can't solve this problem when you're sad or overwhelmed, so try putting it away for now. When you feel stronger, then you can open the 'problem box' again. Another tip I have is, to to join a photography club or a nature focused group - at least you would be around people who enjoy your interests and you may find someone too. Hang in there.

I feel the same way. I'm so lonely and feel like I'll be alone the rest of my life. All I can do is to say that I wish you well. I don't wish this pain of loneliness on anyone.
Thanks for this!

Not going to work Lynn . I put this box on the shelf for eight years and it's staying down , even if I'm staying down . I'm near the end anyway . I can feel it.
Thanks for your kindness and support . Always appreciated. Hugs

loneliness sucks so much. I wonder if we all experience it at one time or another. You shouldnt have to go through this though. This feeling that you are alone and that other people have it better than you in their interactions with others.

You deserve better.

I'm really sorry Lynn for my reply to your supportive post
I know you're intentions or only for my benefit.
But I'm really sick of this and I hope you can understand where I am coming from. It's fine if you don't reply to my posts , and I can understand why.
Again , I apologize for my rudeness. ((((Lynn))))

That's okay ((Chris)) - I didn't take offense at your response and I don't expect my suggestions to be helpful for every situation. I understand you're frustrated and simple tips can't really solve a problem that's over whelming.

I did write a post earlier - it wasn't in response to your reply. I basically wanted to say that I also struggle with loneliness, with a big, gaping wound as well. I deleted it because I felt it was too depressing and didn't want to make others sad. I'm not offended and I don't think you were rude.
