Something’s not right

Re: Loneliness is overwhelming me..

Hello @BlueRose and welcome.

Your story seems to have resonated with many people. Loneliness seems to give us (me, anyway) time to ruminate, increasing our anxiety and depression (and self-doubt and regrets). You're doing well to volunteer 3 days a week. I wish I felt well enough to. Is there much sense of community where you live and work? Sometimes living remotely has compensations. 

Do you have interests or hobbies to turn to in the evenings and weekends? I'd like to return to reading, crafts and gardening... and listening to music.

I hope that these forums help you feel less alone, and give you some comfort.

Best wishes

Dimity 

 

 

 

Re: Loneliness is overwhelming me..

You absolutely do not deserve any of it @BlueRose As others have said, we make these choices for very good reasons and you have had your own good reasons for your decisions. We can second guess or question those decisions - often when we are at our lowest, and blame ourselves for things that we have or haven't done. But - and this is a big but - you had very good reasons for making those decisions. You took control in a time of your life when you had little control and that is both courageous and shows strength. Reaching out here for support and connection shows that courage and strength also. I hope you can find a place here in this community and it alleviates some of that loneliness for you.

Hey @BlueRose - good to see you around tonight.

 

Have you had dinner? How are you today?

Re: Loneliness is overwhelming me..

Hello @BlueRose 

I thought I’d call in to introduce myself. I’m also a widow with grown up children struggling with mental health after a few attempts to end my life.

 

I have found lots of support here from lovely people who get it and who will always listen to my rambling so I hope you are feeling very welcome.

 

Tonight there is a Friday Feast where we join up to eat together so I’ll tag you in that. 

 

💙💙💙
