The Loneliness You Experience With Endometriosis

Loneliness is there in all of us. For all different situations. When you are constantly in pain or ill, it’s a type of loneliness that some people can’t describe.

This Common Feeling Is Also My Biggest Trigger for a Depressive Episode

Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty good about myself. Life has been unusually calm and stable. I just graduated from college so I’ve had that as a reason to celebrate. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is lightening a bit (as of the writing of this article), and being fully vaccinated makes me feel safer to be outside. [...]

How My Childhood Loneliness Grew Into Anxiety

My childhood home was a desperately lonely place. Feeling alone in a family of five causes an exquisite, agonizingly counter-intuitive kind of emotional pain. I did not feel I was accepted nor belonged. And this set a lifelong pattern of struggling to fit in anywhere, often feeling slightly out-of-place, regularly changing jobs, accommodation and relationships [...]

Family.

Did I just agree to meet my mother tomorrow?
Yes.
I think I will need cheering up big time.
I struggle to be open and honest at the best of times with my friends or therapist.
But with my mother it's tougher.
What else?
Some people say being open is good. Some say being private is best
Being open enough to get support is good I think. As long as it's not too personal.
I'm so lonely.
Waiting for money to come from benefits.

Spring time

Rebirth of the, flowers and trees.
Birth of the new, mammals and bees.
A fresh start for natures children.
For humans, that is a fiction.

With little snow, still on the ground.
At the edge of life all around.
Snow reminds me of my struggles.
In bed, I just want to wallow.

Springs fresh new start,
Oh my lonely heart.
Chasm between.
Future unseen.

The birds return within their flocks.
I can’t find my brand new socks.
I feel like I’m trapped, in a box.
I can’t even keep straight my thoughts.

I know there’s joy within spring time.
My loneliness on a big sign.
I should get out, enjoy the day.
Push my thoughts far away .

Newbie here!

Hello! I am Novastarr 😊. I found this app after reading a post about loneliness in an MS Society email. I have been pretty down and out lately, wanting to do nothing but play games on my iPad. I go days at a time without checking my email or doing anything slightly resembling productivity. I’m glad I got motivated today and found this group to give me somewhere to express myself to people who understand it all!
