Guest guest Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Oh Poodlejo i hear you. Perhaps it has been worse for you in some ways than for me in the sense that i think i've had a tendency to keep to myself from an early age moreso than others. In spite of that it hasnt made my lonelinesr feel minute. When i've felt lonely i-ve done different things depending on the day. For me i think it always comes down to occupying my mind as best as possible, ie writing, contacting someone, picking out upbeat music to listen to and of course there is always the standby of crying. I used to have 'sick parties'. Ie oh how can i pamper myself today in celebration of the x amount of time i've gotten through being ill. It used to be joking with a few people over tiny presents and double fudge torte chocolate cake until i knew the cake was doing me in!(that was 80s) Sometimes 'personalizing my space has helped me. Ex doing something to'dress up or decorate my space that can bo as simple as a few magnets around me that have phrases to remind me of what life is all about or make me laugh. Bottom line is yot will feel lonely and i think the trick is to not get stuck there. I recall what i felt like 18 momths in bed. Funny thing is now that i'm not stuck in bed i think sometimes i'm more lonely because i'm well enough to feel more and i've lost too many people along the path. It sounds as though you may have some understanding people around you and if so, bend an ear! Good luck! If i come back to group sobbing you'll know i talk better than i do. Lol!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm with you girls. Found myself slipping into depression. I've been simply doing too much, and not really taking good care of myself. It's time to get back outside each day and try to enjoy a little nature. My indoor surroundings are less than optimal, and I need to shake that up a bit too. Thanks for that suggestion, Jo. Let's all have a better today. > > > Oh Poodlejo i hear you.
