Hi there. How long have you been on medication, and in therapy? It's tough, but things take time. You've been through a lot in your life already, and that won't be fixed overnight. Many of us live alone or have no family. You still have to find and make a life for yourself. What other things do you like to do, and will you be working soon too? Eager to hear back from you... TC

(((((((((( martyalex ))))))))))

I'm so sorry for your pain. I feel it when I read your post...a pain and sorrow deep in your soul...

Is there any extended family of your grandmother's that you can contact...cousins, aunts, uncles?

It's not the same, I know, but stay here with us and we can be your extended family.

KD

Dear MartyAlex -- I think many of us can relate to the pain of feeling alone and being lonely. I hope you will find some comfort here.

Yearning for a family and network of close people is apart of the human nature....we are very social beings and without we feel completely lost. I know the feeling, the lack of closeness. It is a dark and lonely place. I did eventually get the family I wanted on my own, but it still exceeds problems. It doesn't make all the loneliness go away because there's apart of myself I am missing as well...and still it's incredibly lonely. There is a sense of peace on can gain from ones self through acceptance and so on....

I am sorry you feel that way and I hope you get whatever it is you seek soon.

I'm sorry for the pain and sorrow you feel. You many not ever have a family of origin, but you can certainly have a family of choice amongst the friends that you make. Just take care that your family of choice is a healthy, functional one! I dont understand why
