lonely

[lonely]

I woke up this morning lonlier that I have ever been.  I have been walking along a path of healing and doing fairly well and all of a sudden -BAM- I feel unbearably lonely.  So lonely that I didn't want anyone to really even know who I am. 

Would anyone just say they care?  thanks - lonely

There will be lots of BAMs! along the way.

You must learn from these dark lonely times and find strength from surviving them.

You're stronger than you'll let yourself know.

Sorry you're having a tough time of it today. 

No one (here) wants you to suffer.

Lonely,

I care.  

I'm sorry you are so lonely this morning.  There is something about that vulnerable place, just after you come to consciousness, where feelings are so acute.  Try to ride those feelings like a wave.  Don't panic.

Feeling lonely is not the same as being alone.  You are not alone here--we are here and we will listen.

Love
CB

Dear Lonely,


I too am sorry that you are in this place.  I know it so well.  One thing that I do know is that is passes, and then it returns and then it passes.  The more I heal the less lonely I become.  Know your loneliness, be gentle to yourself in this place and write here.  Keep writing because you will be heard here.  I know this helped me so much and still does.

Sending hugs,

axa

Dear Lonely,
  I am so glad that you reached out. When I get in those places, I try to connect with something spiritual. I ask God to help me and He always does.
  Keep writing  and sharing. Sometimes, we are in a place that simply feels horrible and scary. It sounds like you are in one of those places.
   My friend used to say,"In the meantime,it's a mean time."Even though it is a "humorous" statement,it seemed to help me. It expressed to me that the "mean time" would pass.      Love to You     Ami

Dear Lonely,

I care. I know how you are feeling.
It's like a heavy feeling: nobody is thinking about me, nobody cares...do I matter?

I believe in "the inherent worth and dignity of every person." That includes you, whoever you are.

I am sorry for your loneliness, and I hope soon a bright-eyed bird will flutter in a nearby bush, a gentle dog will wag its tail at you, a cat will allow you to appreciate Her Wonderfulness, and then a pleasant human being will respond to your "Good morning" with one of their own.

You're in good company. Your own.

Sometimes when I feel lonely I'll go to an excellent movie by myself.

with love

My Dear Lonely-

You are welcome here to express those thoughts and feelings that you may find hard to accept , and may think others will reject- I can say this to you, because I have done it myself when I felt  lost, isolated and shaky, and I found real support and friendship. You are important , and we want to hear from you.

Hugs to you!!!

Lonely is hard, but we're here and we can hear you.

Are you living alone?

I go through these times too, though I am learning to embrace solitude and single-hood and reframe loneliness as peacefulness....

Dear Lonely,
I know how it feels, but the advice "ride with it" is never truer. That feeling will morph into something new, something you never knew about yourself. If you stick with it - don't try to distract yourself, just let it flow over you, into you, and notice how it changes you. "You can't push the river -- it flows by itself."

Dearest Lonely,

I read your post today.....a little later than others......but my heart went immediately to you.  I am so aquainted with the feelings you describe.  I used to watch Grey's Anatomy and wish I had friends.  Pathetic, eh?  But, I am learning about my lonely times.  Learning not to panic as much or give in the desperation.  I am learning to enjoy my own company as I fight my way through the deepness of the forest.     I hope you are feeling better than when you posted.  I add my heartfelt encouragement with the others. And you are not alone!!

Hey Lonely, you are not alone in being lonely, even when we're lucky enough to have someone in our lives we can still feel very lonely on occasion. Just accept the loneliness as it is, an emotion that will pass and one that is not to be dwelt upon.

Hugs
James

Hi lonely,

Just wanted to say welcome.  Glad you dropped in here.  It's an interesting place where we share and try to nurture one another.  I hope your lonliness is abating, but if not, hang out with us, and be encouraged.  We're in the ring with you and on your side.
