Live on my own. I phone family for some audio company but I think I annoy them sometimes. Don’t have any friends.
Anyone else get lonely?

Yeah, I feel for ya.
I live alone too. I get lonely almost every day.
I just try to distract myself from it. Reading, playing guitar, stuff like that.

When I couldn’t do reading and writing I felt lonely. Listening to radio helpt me a lot because people talk a lot on the programs and sometimes they really had nice conversations… @Montezuma @anon94176359

I think I must be a bit(putting it mildly) odd. I don’t see many people(stepfamily, person who cleans flat,depot nurse once a month) but don’t feel particularly lonely.

Being ill makes you more lonely
If my illness went away then I wouldn’t feel quite as bad then I’d maybe be more able to handle loneliness and might have more a chance to do something about it
Weekdays aren’t so bad for me I’m out more
I have gotten used to being alone when I am at home. It’s nice when my parents come to visit but I don’t have friends anymore.
My old friends I used to hang out with all the time, but I have gotten used to them not being around anymore.

I’m so sorry @anon94176359! I couldn’t handle that. It sounds awful! Are you well enough to go to events through meetup.com? It’s full of people who are looking for new friends doing things together.

I live alone too. I don’t get lonely though. I don’t know why. My mom always said she never got lonely either. I guess I just take after her.

I understand. Every other week the kids are at their dad’s place. They usually drop in a day or two during the week but when they don’t I really feel lonely for them.

I get lonely too.
Because I don’t have friends as such.
I have a girlfriend I email a few times a year but that’s not enough.
I was lonely and really so delusional.
I had so many delusions when I met my x but when we moved in together I got better because I was not so lonely anymore.
I would love 
to have friends.
I think I lost some friends when I was delusional and I wrote strange things to them and they just wanted nothing to do with me.
I had one chat friend who I cheated with on the internet but he wants nothing to do with me because of something I wrote I think.
I had a overseas pen pal n same thing there.
I moved in to family yesterday but the woman I am living with is the other woman who raised me and she is so nice to me and said I can live with her and that she would not let me go homeless but she gets depressed and I don’t know what to do.
I was told by her mum to just leave her alone but I wish I could cheer her up.
I was very very lonely before I met my x.
I hope to stay friends with my x.
I want to have friends but I have difficulties being with people and socialising.
Sometimes I can socialise for short periods of time but not brilliantly at all.
Most of the time I suffer and I get fit like things because of the tension.
I seriously start having physical fit like things because it’s so hard n uptight etc and I don’t feel like myself etc
Maybe I feel like someone else and maybe they are the socially awkward ones or maybe it is me.
So I want to have friends and socialise but schizophrenia and my symptoms get in the way.
Lately everyone seems to want me to salute and I do not want to salute and obey anyone .not my parents either and I was not raised to do so either.not by my parents anyway.
I would rather curtsy or do the Asian greeting with a slight bow and hands in pray but saluting is so Army like and I am not in the army nor do I want to be.
I really hope we will not feel so lonely and I’m glad we have each other and the forum.
Love to you guys.

I get terribly lonely and literally have no alone time.
My mother in law is here all the time and my husband is home weekends and evenings,
Doesn’t keep me from feeling very alone.
Just because people are around doesn’t mean that you’re understood and being appreciated or loved.
Its a very isolating feeling.

I miss having a pet to be with. The cat I had from 6 to 27 acted like a trained therapy animal, without needing any training. She moved from sleeping with me to my younger brother and then my youngest brother when he came along. She also hopped up on my mom’s bed whenever she was crying.
I could really use an animal like that again. We really got lucky with that one, we had her since a kitten so she never went through any trauma. A cat or dog to feed, pet, and watch tv with would be awesome.
Do you have a car to drive? I would go to a meetup or two if I had a car. It would take some gumption but I would do it, I just don’t have the wheels at the moment.
