I have had a rough week and am feeling lonely.  My new realization is that I am alone way too much and it stinks.  My friends are all in relationships and not necessarily around or available as much as I wish they were.  It's not only that, though, bc even if they were around, I am still alone at night and in the morning and in all those hours in between.  
I have a busy schedule, but I still feel like there is so much time for me to be alone.  It's hard to appreciate this time, but I am trying to take in what I have read on the message board and put my faith in my HP and to accept my life for what it is now.  
It's not easy!  yawn

No, it isn't easy. I am in the same spot. Somedays it gets to me and other days it seems pretty ok. I do enjoy my alone times but other times I wish for someone to hang out with, to snuggle up with.

Yes, HP has our life in his hands and we don't have to worry, but we still get to feel the feelings....ugh! It could be worse ((((((((((((hopeful))))))))))))))

For me, my experience has been, I am very much into my passion of my animal sanctuary. I work very hard so it helps me sleep.

Also when I was so depressed I wanted to die, I had to get up to feed. This love  of mine is what helps me continue to live without my AH.

That song, U2 I think,"I can't live, with or without you." I find that true. I am not really living without him.

But I sure do my best to enjoy what I have. I want so much to get this knot out of my gut that is a ball of grief though. Soon I will figure it out.

I hope maybe you can find something to throw yourself into. Just going out and walking helps.

hugs,debilyn

Someone said that when you feel lonely it means that you are not connected to the universe. I am alone, alone too (except for my cat sitting on me). It is hard at times. I went to my office today and just worked and kept busy. And then I come home and the house is empty and I just have to embrace it. You are not alone in your aloneness. Reach out. I invited my block over for brunch tomorrow morn.

In support,
Nancy

I can relate. Even when I am busy and have people around me I still feel lonely. It can be hard sometimes. But, my HP keeps me going at least I know that God is with me when I am feeling alone and need a friend. I also have my mom who has been a support to me as well. It will get better for both of us.

Thanks for your help.
I slept today until 2:30. I just didn't want to get out of bed. Called the A crying, again, but then felt better and we chatted a bit and it was okay.
Went to dinner with a friend and finally got out of my funk. Now I am home, with my cat on my lap!, and I am ready to go to bed and face the week.
