Loneliness and Isolation

NAS85622

Hi all… I’m really struggling with loneliness at the moment. I have a family and a good job etc, and I just about keep those things going, but I don’t feel a strong connection to anyone deep down. I try to explain myself but I can’t seem to be able to express it. It’s getting me really down at the moment, and I’ve had some bad thoughts. Do you guys have similar problems, and if so what kinds of things help you?

  • Hi

    i don’t really have a strong connection to anyone (except my daughter) either. I don’t feel it as a major issue but that’s just me. Maybe you need to find people more on your wavelength, whatever that means to you. 

    i do know that there are many many people in this country who feel lonely and isolated and there are organised groups that meet up specifically to help people make connections. Whether that’s right for you will depend on lots of things. 

    There are plenty of people on this forum and other places online who can be a great support and a sounding board. 

    I’ve had very dark thoughts too and counselling has helped with that. There are lots of crisis lines too who can be great.
