Lonely

Shoobi

Married female here with two incredible little girls. Four year old shows many similar traits to me. Even in my marriage I feel very alone and misunderstood by the world. Other than therapy are there any other resources / books /podcasts you found helpful? I want to work on being a better version of myself for my kiddos incase they have the same struggles in life. I will also  be searching for a therapist. Just the feeling of loneliness is truly getting to me lately so would love to hear what others found helpful. 
Thanks in advance

  • Hi, I just found a therapist. After the first session I already found out I struggle to recognize my own limits which results in me pushing them, taking too much and crying without any reason (seemingly) because I don’t feel what I should have felt. Poor interoception and alexithymia. It takes me long time to recognize what I have felt in certain situations. Even years or decades. I’m married with one daughter, she does not show my traits looks like she will be happier than me in my childhood, but I often feel misunderstood and overwhelmed. I often take breaks from socialising with my family. I can’t take it, it’s sad I love them but unable to connect as much as I would like.

    Thank you for sharing. I also feel as if I’ve been crying more recently. That’s good insight, I’m so happy for you finding a helpful therapist ! I feel like I’m definitely struggling with the same things as you, nice to feel less alone.
