I’ve been as alone as I can be for over forty years. I’ve gotten to where I prefer solitude. Life isn’t bad, as long as I get my med’s.
You can learn to cope with stress, but it takes years. You have to start out small and work at it. Keep setting goals, hitting them, and setting new goals when you do. You can’t stop or you go backwards.

I thought I was getting a weekend alone at home, but my daughter is coming back from uni. A combination of awesome and argh.
Yep. The first diagnosis I received: Schizoid features, Dysthymic Disorder, Social Isolation.
12 years of being alone in isolation. Before I was at University and or college learning and socializing with students much younger than me. After 12 years I decided to attempt to join the workforce. Terminated from the first job and currently in my 2nd employment.
Me! But I was emotionally neglected as a kid.
When I talk to some people in real life, I feel pathetic so I tend to avoid a lot. Then I feel lonely.
I rather feel lonely than pathetic.
I’ve been alone for most of the last twelve years. I don’t mind it.

I think there’s a certain beauty to being alone and finding peace in yourself. I’m working on engaging more with community or attempting to be social. I’m going to try to create some art for an art exhibit and I put up some of my art on the walls of my new room.
I like to think that we’re never truly alone. There is a peace of mind in finding independence to feel yourself without others interfering, and then there’s walking a path with others.
