So alone

@Hannahisachristian I'm very sorry to hear that you feel like that. Sadly we can be surrounded by many people that mean something to us yet that awful feeling of loneliness won't go away. Lots of people may experience that through time to time. What is a good reminder is that it doesn't have to take a lot to erase that loneliness. May seem far from us but it could just be one step away from us...

Hi, I think a lot of people here are experiencing what you are going through. I'm also suffering without a boyfriend. I don't have much advice for you but I do think it's good you reached out. I always get to a better mindset connecting with people, talking things through.

I was in a long term relationship for 4 years until recently.
Lost all my counseling. Friends. Family. All my support gone all at once.

I just want a partner that wants to share their life with me as much as I want to with them.
I've been alone now for almost a year. I've never been this isolated in my life, even when I was younger. My Mom died of cancer in 2020. She was the only family I was really close with. Everyone else lives so faraway. It's so hard to talk to people in real life, especially when you're down.

Hi @Hannahisachristian

I can understand the feeling that there are lots of people but still we feel so hollow and alone. That is because we can't "Click" with those people, we can't have heart to heart sessions with them, we can't share good chemistries with them, and sometimes, it's just as trivial as they just care about being friend, and not care about our life.

You've done a good job coming to 7 Cups to look for a friend to chat with. Welcome! You have many listeners here who would like to be your friends :D

@Hannahisachristian Loneliness happens to a lot of people, so your not a lone.

If you're feeling lonely, then maybe come to our Group Support Rooms, here at 7cups.

They might help, and you can meet a lot of nice people.

Here is the link to the rooms, if you're interested: 7cups.com/connect/Chatrooms.php

Hope to see you in the rooms from time to time.

@Hannahisachristian Hey Hannah ! I would like to tell you it's okay to feel this way. At some point in time, we all feel lonely. 7cups is a wonderful community to help us in such difficult times. So hold on and stay blessed and put God first!!

I can relate! It's when you go through a break up or envy someone who cares that you actually feel the loneliness to the point that you can sometimes feel sick as well; it's because we are so uncertain of the future when it relates to our desires. If you want to talk more, feel free to message me, or any listener you would like to because here loneliness is shunned 😉

Such a tough place to be. I'm sorry that you are facing those experiences. Ironically, you are not alone...many others experience these seasons. Actually, I believe all do. Its just not all of us admit it :)

I know the feelings all to well. I hope you find your cure. I am going through my only bout of loneliness. You see, I have been divorced for about 15 years. In about the same time I lost my grand folks on my dad's side and aunt in a 3 year span. In all that time(15yrs) I have been in a skin to skin contact with 3 other people. Each not reciprocating that affection. And in short order.(time). I think the longest was 3 months. I feel a bit used at this point. At this point in my life I am going through empty nest syndrome and I think a mid life crisis at the same time. As my support is falling away from me. I am camping at the front door sort to speak(I keep going back hoping that applying will get me more care.), To get my meds back. As these last 3 years have changed the dynamics of the mental clinic I was going too. Plus my psychologist retired. Last night was not good for me. My anxieties are way up(no meds). and tears are flowing. The loneliness is painful somehow. I used to enjoy the loneliness and I no longer do. The love and then loss is getting to me. I enjoyed having a partner. the longest was a marriage of 8 years. All that energy spent last night. I got online seeking a conversation. And then a while later rested my head. I think I feel asleep about 11pm ish? and just woke at 7am. That would not be a big deal except that I wen to sleep at about 5pm and woke at 10pm yesterday. That's to much sleep. But I am feeling better now. Melatonin and sleepytime tea has been good to me, but I don't hardly use it. I am a self help type a person, but am fracturing in this time of need. And self medicating is not really a good thing at this time for me. I have hobbies and go to groups to socialize, but with the kids doing there own think and my falling behind in my chores. I feel a bit defeated. I am reaching out for help in a few way's. but times like last night are hard to deal with or ignore.

@Hannahisachristian no cuz same ;-;
