@modestKite5631 Hi, I am sorry to hear about your mom. It must be difficult for you having to deal with her illness as well deal with so many other things at the same time. I'm glad that you are here at 7cups and I hope that we can help to reduce your feelings of lonliness here.

Thank you so much for writing @modestKite5631.
I hope things will get better for you by and by.
All the best from Helga.
I can understand feeling alone. I just moved to a new place and I’ve been going through menopause, which can give you anxiety when you levels take a dip. I never know when it will show up, so I worry about it a lot. I feel alone and like my husband doesn’t understand. I can’t wait to make some friends.
im glad you found a job. I know it can be hard with all you have been through, but try to think positive and believe in yourself.
@modestKite5631 I'm sorry you're going through all of this. Having your mom not doing well must make it especially hard. I too struggle with lonliness and know how hopeless it can make you feel. Even though my husband and I are close I miss having friends and often feel isolated. I hope your job will help alleviate some of the feelings you're dealing with and I'm glad you found this forum. You're not alone here.
