Loneliness

Silverwillows8128 August 24th, 2023

I suffer from chronic loneliness and deep loneliness leaves behind a deep ache that begs for some relief, some form of connection. A long-lasting emptiness has crept into my existence, ripping my soul apart. Each passing moment feels heavier as the absence of human warmth and understanding linger relentlessly. All in all, loneliness is something that cannot be satiated and makes me feel hollow, squeezing my heart tightly of all the happiness.

I just joined, and this post really hit close to home. The loneliness I feel is overwhelming at times. For some reason it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who battles this. Makes it feel like it is something we can overcome, you know?

It takes courage to share how you feel. You should be proud of that!! I feel the same way sometimes I really do understand how it can feel so lonely and I think I feel it more than I just turned 40 this year it's harder to make friends. We are here for you... hugs!

It takes a lot of courage to talk about issues like this and to be able to talk about it in such detail couldn't have been easy. I am proud of you for taking this chance and I want you to remember you are cherished, you are loved, and you are welcome.

I feel every word of that original post and it just reminds me how lonely so many of us are. I'm just a few months away from hitting 2 years on my third divorce. The youngest of my kids turned 18 last month. For the last 20+ years I've have tried a few times to create and blend families, my home has always been full of people and love. Now I'm about to turn 43, my kids are grown and doing their own things, and I sit alone all the time. I am very much an introvert and have moved across the country twice. I have a few friends I talk to on the phone but they live so far away. At this point I'm coming to terms with the idea/fact that I will be alone from this point forward

My apologies for an extreme delay in response. Your experience is understandably challenging, and it's common to feel lonely after significant life changes like divorce and when your children become independent.

I’ve felt so similar to this, and sometimes still do. Hope being here has helped you connect. I’ve just joined.

I go through horrible bouts of loneliness where it feels like my chest is caving in from pain. I understand completely what you’re saying.
