Lonley even when with people

Hey everyone,

For the past few weeks, I have been really lonely all the time. My husband coming home doesn't even make it better at times, and he is very doting. I wonder if being so far away from the rest of my family and not really having any friends in the area is starting to take it's toll...We moved here about 2 years ago, and we have trouble making new friends.

Oh jeez. I'm a few states away now. I go home every Christmas or so, but last time I went, I had a terrible panic attack/anxiety attack over the course of two weeks and didn't get to enjoy the trip...

I don't want to give too much information online, but I am old enough to drink, but not old enough to get the senior discount at the movies.

It's hard for me to go out and do things, as I can never really get myself excited about them. I see them as a task that needs to be done. I tend to have fun when I am already somewhere, but not when I am getting ready to go. I really only look forward to going to places with people I know I will get along with, video gamers, etc. Not many of those kinds of people around here though...

Hi Trifin, Yes I'm sure being away from your family and friends has something to do with you feeling lonely. Do you use video chat, like Skype to stay in contact with them, I think it might help you some if you did.

I'm sorry you are having a hard time making friends where you live now, I'm sure there are people out there with the same interest as you and hubby have, You just need to venture out and find them. Maybe join some clubs or do a craft class or some other kind of class that interest you.

I feel lonely alot too, I have no friends except for a few online friends I've made over the years, But no real life friends, Oh ya I have a couple now that I met at a pain management class that I see in class every week, but we haven't gone and done anything and don't really talk much outside of class which is ending in a couple weeks. I do have family around though, I live with my parents due to being disabled and my kids come see me often, but it isn't the same. My husband passed away 11 years ago and I've had a couple relationship since then, but they weren't my husband so they didn't work out, I'm lonely for companionship but not willing to put myself out there, lol.

Keep on posting here, we will be your family and friend, this is an awesome community that cares about each other.

Sorry I missed you in Chat I was in the kitchen finishing up cooking dinner. I'm still there for a while longer if you want to come in and chat.
