Loneliness

The HALT Acronym

HALT is an acronym that represents the four states of being. They are hungry, angry, lonely, and tired. Not only that, but the HALT acronym is also a very helpful tool for people with mental health conditions and who are experiencing addiction because it serves as a reminder for them to ask themselves how they are doing regularly and address their basic physical and emotional needs to stay on track with their sobriety and overall wellbeing.

Loneliness can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like the world is moving at a pace that's impossible to keep up with. For those dealing with PTSD, the thought of interacting with large crowds or navigating complex social situations can be overwhelming.

It's okay to acknowledge that you aren't alone in feeling this way. Many people struggle with feelings of isolation and disconnection. Recognizing your limits and prioritizing self-care is a brave step towards healing.

Focusing on self-love and personal growth can be a powerful way to rebuild and rediscover yourself. This journey isn't about shutting out the world; it's about learning to love and care for yourself first.

As you work on rebuilding self-love, you might find that your capacity to connect with others grows. Helping others can be a meaningful way to build connections and find purpose, but it's essential to prioritize your own healing first.
Practicing mindfulness and meditation
Engaging in activities that bring you joy and comfort
Connecting with nature
Journaling or expressing yourself creatively
Reaching out to a trusted friend or therapist

Healing is a journey, and it's okay to take it at your own pace. By focusing on self-love and growth, you can create a stronger, more resilient you – one that's better equipped to navigate the world on your own terms #Loneliness #PTSDSupportAndRecovery #MentalHealth #ThriverThursday

Hello everybody, this is my second post on here but there’s something I’ve been on my mind. I’ve been thinking to not have friends anymore. I feel like no one’s ever, my friend Some people who just being rude to me and call me fat,unfunny or Any type of stuff It really hurts me a lot I mean soon I’m getting a Counselor and Gonna take pills for this But then again, it’s like I never wanted to take pills. I always wanted to Do things on my own doing Stuff in the right way, but I realize that I’m not strong enough to do it. I need the help I need Every single day I feel like I’m digging a hole of just pain of words that people say to me every single day is just a loop and sometimes I wish you know I wasn’t here Honestly, I feel like no one ever cares about me. I mean, there’s some people who cares about me and my family and stuff I don’t know anymore. I’m sorry I really am. I just wish I never felt this type of way…

I’ve been very upset lately, and sometimes I don’t think I have the right to be upset, because I get upset at the fact I’m smart, but I feel lonely with my mind. Even to the people that might pay some attention to my hyperfixations, I can’t talk to anyone about the greek alphabet, word morphology, other languages I’m learning, cultural shocks within books I read. I’m the person they’ll reach out when wanting to know a historic moment or nuance, but they won’t pay attention to all the history I have to share to make that moment contextual. I retain too much information in my brain, and it’s lonely.

We went to the beach the last two days, for a moment I wasn’t alone with my thoughts, with my loneliness, with my fatigue. I could hear the sea, feel the sand on my feet, the touch of the waves coming while I went into the sea. My mind was in peace, the nature, the inputs were enough to keep myself at ease, and I hate beaches mind you, I usually go for specific reasons and plan on being in the sea almost all the time. As soon as we packed and started heading home, I was again there, with my thoughts, with my knowledge, and nobody to share it to the extent I would feel excited sharing.

People want to have a high IQ, to have high abilities, I tell you that, that’s a curse most of the time, sometimes I wish I was ignorant, that global news wouldn’t affect my worries for example, that I wouldn’t see patterns in situations, I just wish I could relax sometimes, I just can’t, knowing too much is a pain, and if you want to share this pain, they say it’s patronising. I once told I’ve been bullied my entire life for being smart, I was invalidated, like it shouldn’t be such a problem to be bullied for a sharp mind.

Hi, my name is SalingerSunset. I'm here because I live with chronic pain, am on permanent disability and am lonely without people to talk to.
Most people turn away from you when you are disabled. They don't even know they're doing it, but they do. They see you as a future burden. Someone who might ask for rides to the doctor, money for bills, or who knows what else. That's one side of it, anyway.The Other side is people wanting to be my friend because of the medication I am on. Wanting to be above and beyond nice and kind to you, which feels incredible, until they cannot stop talking about how much their knee hurts. How they wish this awful toothache would end. How the doctor would give them no medication for that pain, and can you believe that?
Frankly, I almost prefer being completely ignored to that because it kills your hope that people might want to be friends with you just to be friends. A symbiotic relationship of each helping and supporting the other without calculating what they can get from it.
Hopefully people like that are still kicking around this planet. Maybe I'll meet one here. #MightyTogether #Migraine #PTSD #ADHD #OCD #Grief #Anxiety #Depression
