Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 Hi Lynne, It is the week-end and I am still here. Cnecking in every so often.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 I go through something similar to that, 24/7. Sometimes it seems, aside from work, i have no contact with the outside world, even with my " online friends " . My family lives close by, but they all have lives of their own. I have a two-year-old son, and he occupies my spare time, but after he goes to sleep or to his father's for a visit, I'm left to twiddle my thumbs and wait for an IM or a new e-mail. Sometimes, I make an attempt to come out of " seclusion " and venture out into the real world, but after half an hour I'm so tired and achy I begin to regret leaving my house......I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one. Lonely Weekends Hi Folks: I know I am going to sound like a big cry-baby (WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH) !!!!! but it seems like every single weekend, I feel more lonely and secluded than ever. I am a virtual shut-in. I have a 15 year old daughter but no family and no friends (except on-line)...which brings me to another problem which is: my e-pals don't write to me on the weekends!! I will hear from them all week, every day, but as soon as Saturday comes, I open my Inbox, and it's empty. That makes me feel like I am the only one in the world with NO LIFE. This illness has stole my life away. I can remember a time when I would have someplace to go every single weekend. Now it's the same old routine 24/7, 7 days a week. I can usually handle it okay during the week but my e-pals provide me with a lot of joy and comfort and when they are " not around: on the weekends, it hurts. Does anyone else on the list go through this on the weekends??? Love & Hugs, Lynne ===== 51 year old single Mom of 15 year old daughter.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 Hi Lynne, I can relate to the being lonely that's for sure. We've moved to another state away from my family and what few friends that were left of mine since having these medical problems. I too feel like I have No Life since having these illnesses. I know mourning for having our normal lives back is normal and can be depressing. But hang in there Hon..we're here for you! I really get lonely during the week for me since no one is here all day. We have a cat and a dog that really seem to help me from getting lonely and depressed as much. I'm not sure if you've thought about getting a pet. They're are just like one of the family and can help with taking your mind off of things. Take Care, >That makes me feel like I am the only one in the world with >NO LIFE.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 Hi Lynne I too feel like this. I have no extended family. It's just my husband and my two boys. We go through everything alone and I have to say I am sometimes enraged about my life circumstance. The fibro which I've had for many years took away my career as a systems analyst and sometimes lately it seems to want to take away my job as mother. I feel too beat both physically and emotionally to tend to the demands of my life. Today has been especially difficult because I am battling depression . Friends seem to be nonexistent because I have no time or energy for them. I have many interest but after I'm finished taking care of life here there is no life for me left. I wish there were answers to the loneliness but I don't think any of the answers are easy to take.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Lynne, Email me if you'd like to. I need someone to talk to, too. I am finally at home alone after raising children (believe it or not) for 43 years. I am having trouble finding out who I am after such an active life of raising kids, running Girl Scouts and Girls' Club, homeschooling, teaching part-time part of the time after the FM took over. Just sitting and watch TV or reading or napping because I don't have the stamina to do anything else is really lonely! I used to teach at Imperial Valley College years and years ago. I lived in El Centro. Is that near where you live? Last year I lived in Alameda in the Bay Area of Northern California but I had to come home to live with my husband as I couldn't cope on my own. Once I got the last child settled into grad school out there, that was the only choice I had left. She is in Taiwan this summer and my neighbors are not friendly, or maybe just too busy. I try to get out and walk but where I am now, Arkansas, it is so hot and humid, the air is too oppressive to walk in. Talking on chat lines or IMing just makes me too nervous. I also feel nervous about driving although, I keep thinking any day now I will start. Mainly I talk to my cats, watch birds, play on the computer (but you are right, there is very little on weekends), and take care of the home in the most efficient way I can. We are all here for you.
