Feeling lonely

Lounge
1

I’ve been feeling lonely lately and desperate for normal human interaction. My dad is home with me but we don’t really talk. My mom is usually drunk. The two people I text all day have mental health issues. I need my therapist. I have an appointment this week.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

I do. I talk to my sister occasionally but I don’t want to bombard her with how I’m feeling. I’ve just been unstable ever since last week when my meds started running out. Wednesday is my next shot. 2 more days…come on baby.

Have you considered - or tried - a social club for mentally ill. I know people here have mixed feelings about such clubs, but i visited one today, and the patients were very engaged and not that ill, and the surroundings were awesome with a plant nursery and big and light studios.

I might begin to volunteer there once or twice weekly.

There’s a group that meets at my doctors clinic. I went once and hated it. I don’t like being around disabled people for the most part. Not a lot. Maybe 1 or 2 but theres like 10 that go.

Of course, that sounds horrible. I guess im lucky that my social club attracts high functioning patients.

I also volunteer at a combined shop and cafe.

Hope you find a way to kill the loneliness.

I wish you could get your meds in a timelier manner. You need them.
Loneliness thinks it’s not good enough. Maybe some self-analysis and work to build yourself up. You are good enough compared to a lot of people.

Me too.

Only person i really socialised with was my x boyfriend on weekends.

Since we broke up I have no person I hang out with really.

Meetup is to far away and we don’t have clinics for disabled near me.

I joined a penpal site but they don’t want to know me because don’t work so they ghost me when they see i don’t have a career.

What can we do?

I don’t know.

Thank god we have this forum and each other.

Best wishes to us.

My therapist is on maternity leave.

Hopefully you can talk to someone.

Yeah. I messaged my brothers and sister. And texted with my mom this morning. My parents never know what to say though. I think it just makes them sad I have to deal with this. I feel a little better today but I’m still only like a 4/10
