@DanaMH loneliness to me is the feeling of being disconnected from people. I can feel that way all alone or in a party.
There are some days when I just want to be around people so even a trip to the supermarket can be a help. Going to exercise class can mean I am around people but I do not necessarily have to talk to feel connected.
@soulsings stop. No one here ever could relate to me. I kept trying and trying. I thank you for your patience but am not seen here either. I tried. Gotta work tomorrow. Hope 2nd day of spring is as good as the first.
@Lauren63 I hope the second day of spring went well for you. Thanks for letting us know when you are on again.
@soulsings on what?
@Lauren63 how the second day of spring went
@soulsings well I didnt get breakfast or lunch. I worked in an area that I dont normally work in. And Dont like but you do what you have to. On the upside, I am not working tomorrow. But got mucho errands... so I guess it evens out. I am on call tomorrow night. Glad you all can do self care.. I work . No one cares about that. I took care of my parents. 2 years plus. I had no self care then either. I did what I had to do. See I have different priorities. I have a job. I work. I cant just say I need time off. We are down 2 people, soon to be 3. So to keep my job I keep going. But Im tired. So when I hear self care I hear, I can do whatever I want when I want and screw you. Sorry but thats how I feel. Thanks for listening.
@Lauren63 I hear you you are in a high pressure situation and are doing your best to do your job. I respect you for that. That is a great work ethic. We need more people like that.
@soulsings Actually Iwas thinking about self care. And I think I understand better. Im sure people, the great volunteers. Have situations where they cant be here due to outside circumstances. Thanks
@Lauren63 self care for me is learning when my emotions are starting to take over and step back before I react. It is not easy and sometimes around people I love I do react emotionally. Then I have to fix the fences I tore down in anger. It is not easy being human.
@soulsings Most of my anger is toward myself, and spills out onto others. But thanks for telling me that. Yes it is hard.
@Lauren63 I think you are onto a universal point. When people get angry they are basically expressing the anger within. The other person just happened to be there.
@soulsings there are reasons to be angry. Not going to discuss them here. You take care.
@Lauren63 Hello. How are you ?
Hello all,
Loneliness is not so easy to deal with some days.
How is your day going so far?

Thanks for the message! So sorry you're feeling lonely. I'm ok. My mood and thoughts have been better these past days. I think I've been doing better work too. I'm here to support you. What could you do to feel less lonely?
@WorthyStruggle I've never done this chat room stuff before. Still getting use to the functions and idea of using it.
I really need someone to connect with that listens with out being self absorbed or unconcerned.
