Loneliness

My wife’s cancer took everything, and now Lupus is hurting my daughter. I’m failing at work because I’m breaking inside. I am so lonely and just need a virtual hug or someone to care. Please.

I’m Mita, and I hold a PhD in Psychology from India. I am very happy to be here.I am here because I am very passionate about mental well-being, especially in the context of how our lives are becoming increasingly digital, to connect with others who believe in the importance of having open conversations about our mental well-being without fear of judgment. This means being able to talk about anxiety, burnout, overthinking, loneliness, and the invisible pressure of “always being online.”I am here because I am also concerned about how silently many of our youth are struggling with things like comparing themselves online, not sleeping because of online habits, and feeling disconnected despite being constantly connected.I believe we need more compassionate conversations about our mental well-being.I hope to contribute to this conversation and also learn from others. I would love to share my knowledge in simple language and also learn from your stories.

Hi, my name is WildRose18. I am 18 years old and am suffering with a array of symptoms and issues. From knee surgery’s, to chronic pain, to medications galore, I’m really looking for some other people who are suffering from Nerve pain, AMPS, Anxiety, and more. It’s lonely, being so young and struggling with so much. while dealing with my health I’m a full time college student and work full time as a special needs aide as well. I’m looking for some friends to confine in that understand me to another level. Have a great day!

What You Want It to Be

THROUGH THE YEARS

AND TESTS OF TIME

THE BELLS CHIME

N THE REALISTS RHYME

OUR STRUGGLES

THWART OUR FROZEN DREAMS

IN YOUR OR MY OWN REALMS

OF LOVED AND LOVELESS

LONELY NIGHTS AND WILD

THE WISDOM OF CHILDS

WHEN RAIN AND PAIN

AND IRISH REIGN

AND POETS ARE PROPHETS

AND LOVELORN ARE FOUND

AND YOU FALL UPON THE MOSS STREWN GROUND

AND YOU PONDER THE LOST IT'S

AND CHERISH THE DAY

WHEN THE STATUS QUO IS OK

AND THERE'S REALLY PEACE INSTEAD OF WAR NOT JUST IN YOUR HEAD

IF YOU REMEMBER YOUR YIN YANG WAY

AND WHAT THE TEACHERS SAY

YOU MIGHT BE FINE

AS OAK AGED WINE

Hi, my name is CynthiaZ. I'm curious about the topic of loneliness. Will it affect our mental health, or is it a kind of mental illness? I'm glad to be here.

Hi, my name is LoneAngel62. I'm here because I hide my sad, lonely feelings. I put up blockers until I start to lash out at people. I have friends who don't want to be around me anymore because I get moody, defensive and take the blame for anything even though I know I'm not the blame. I find myself crying hours everyday when I'm alone. I'm in the middle of a divorce, I have medical health issues that caused me to retire from work. I have to have surgery on my ankle and foot next month. I hate being this way.

Do you ever feel like you're just too odd to fit anywhere? I'm single. I'm childless. I'm almost homebound. I am neurodivergent. I feel like there isn't a spot for me. I'm always trying to fit in to other's mold because there's not one for me.
It's a hard day of wishing I fit better. Wishing one of my labels was more common so I can have a safe place to be myself without having to fight for it.
I'm getting too tired to mask things. But others don't handle unfiltered me well.

Am I alone in this? What do you all do when it just feels like you're too much and not enough all at once?
