Loneliness and Isolation

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'm in a very similar situation myself, 10 years living on my own in my 'prison', things are taking a turn for the worse atm, sometimes triggered ie problems with the house but the isolation sucks.  I 'try' to go out for a walk, in nature is good, thankfully spring is almost here & the better weather should help.

    I used to game online back in the day, started again this winter just for the 'escapism' from reality for a little while.

    Veg gardening, music & diving into the current hobby/interest with 100% as we do, also helps.
