If the loneliness page doesn't work

Si2384

Sooooo I'm a practical person eho likes actual steps of what to do and the loneliness page hasn't helped.

  • Reach out to others, such as family and friends, for support -none available or helpful
  • Use your interests as a way of making connections, - I don't have an interest
  • Use social media and online forums or gaming to connect, -social media causes rage and negative emotions, gaming bores me
  • Consider peer support from a befriender service and local groups - can't find any even in the directory
  • Meet with others in an environment that meets your sensory needs -none to meet and nowhere to go
  • Spend time with pets or assistance dogs. -zero effect 

I help make a space for others but it's not for me I don't connect there the opposite in fact it highlights how alien I am. 

So now what? Just be satisfied alone?  Anyone else felt this way and got stuck? How'd you get unstuck or can we figure something else out to try?

  • Is there anything you like doing? What do you do with yourself all day? If the answer is "nothing" you may be suffering from depression and I would recommend talking to your doctor. A lack of serotonin causes an inability to be interested in or enjoy anything, and there are medications that can help.

    Then think about what you might like doing, or what you used to enjoy, and see if you can start that hobby or interest. Even if it's something you do on your own, you can chat with people on here about it and it might help lift your spirits.

    This forum gives me an opportunity to connect with others and get support if I need it - I hope it does the same for you.
