I have a husband and two kids. When they aren’t home, I feel unbearable loneliness. Often when they are home, I feel unbearable loneliness. My mind goes to the worst.

Sounds like depression.

I’m lonely too somewhat, I have reached to a state that other peoples thoughts are not interesting for me and mine are not for them, this is the real loneliness, when no one understands you, how’s yours like?

I’m sorry you’re lonely.
Mine is like feel comepletely disconnected from everyone. It is being alone, waiting to be with people again, and then when I am with people, waiting to be alone again, because neither feels right or comfortable.

I understand, I think there is a problem here which should be fixed but I don’t know what it is and how, if you could rich your mind when you are alone then being with people wouldn’t cause you to want to be alone, do you have any hobby when you’re lonely?

I try and read, clean, or watch tv. You?
I live with my mom and sis, my mom takes care of house chores and I sometimes help her, nothing special, listening to music, drinking tea, smoking cigarettes, sometimes I study English and math,
Have you studied any major?
That’s wonderful you have a place to live! English and math sound interesting! I read Christian literature.
I was a mechanical engineer before this illness,
Maybe you should start to read Christian literature again, review what you have read, maybe there’s clues there you neglected and help you now,
Do you have any interest in it yet?

How you do cope with knowing you had such a lucrative job before? Are you on disability?
I worked in elementary school. Now, I’m waiting to hear if I will receive disability. I would like to work, but I don’t think I can. My treatment team supported me applying for disability. I feel like my life is over. I read job descriptions and think, “I can’t do that.” We’re out of money.
Thanks for talking.

Don’t be disappointed, things will get better, hopefully you will receive disability benefits, focus on getting better, this is your primary duty, for kids at least,

Do you talk to your spouse about it? Or do you have family and/or friends that can help? Are your children little or grown? I remember a time of feeling lonely while married with little children. My family and friends stepped in and they were a tremendous help. The saying is true, “it takes a village to raise children.”
I’m surrounded by help actually. My kids are 2.5 and 4. I see a counselor, psychiatrist, and two doctors at an ocd center. I’m surrounded by supportive friends and family and a wonderful
Church family. I see people most days of the week. I still feel lonely. Can you explain why? Do you understand?

Okay, that’s good you have help and support. Sorry, I can’t explain why you still feel lonely- especially if you’re close to the Man upstairs.
