Loneliness

You gave us your wisdom all through life

Whether it was listening to your songs at St Pats

Or your choirs at Christmas

Why don't your financially well off god sons and daughters visit you

They have cars and voices to call

Now you are reduced to talking about lack of contact

And bad Residence food

Life is so beautiful

So many things to get out and do

We sometimes create our own walls

I know I do

And it hurts

My door is open to you

Thanksgiving dinners

Thanks for all the ones you gave me

Family visits on the lawn

I've got homemade cookie dough to cook up

But most of the time my heart is breaking too

Because with a stuck up family

And no personal car

And lack of my bike

I can't get to you

I'm tired of walking with groceries sometimes

We bring you yours

Try to be healthy

Look on the bright side of life

Make friends with those around you

My sunny days are greeted by sore feet too you know

But I will get out there, I'm sorry old age is such a predicament for you

How can I be more support

My heart hurts for you now

A thank you card, you've always done so much, doesn't seem to cut it

Some Sinatra and Elvis on TV then

some chats n lawn chairs

Come soon, anytime

You always washed the dishes now you don't at other people's houses, I miss that so much

We used to cook together with mom who's gone, I miss that

We used to sing together with song sheets I miss that

Love, Peace, Kindness

I have always felt like something was wrong with me that I was somehow born defective. I hurt so deeply all the time it seems. I am lonely in a crowd and I don't know how to ask for help so I isolate and push others further away; it's the exact opposite of what I want. I need others who understand the intense emotional turmoil I feel day in and day out. Why is it so hard for me to enjoy happiness or experience joy....why won't I allow good things to happen. I seem to sabotage most things....please help me learn how to live.

Hey everybody! So I have a lovely support system: a loving partner, incredible friends, and a mom who supports the hell out of me. But I’m running into this isolating loneliness because none of them are chronically ill. None of them truly understand how or what I’m feeling and it’s lonely. I am so so grateful for the humans who love me so well; that being said, my therapist says it’s a good idea to find people who do “get it”. So if anyone is looking for more support people, I’m here and would love to be your friend!

Hi, my name is Frank32. I'm here because i haven’t been myself I’m always tired depressed and have anxiety most days I have to pretend that I’m okay and nothing is bothering and when I’m in my lowest I feel really lonely I’m sure if anyone in here is experiencing the same illness
