I Feel Alone

There are times when that lonely feeling sneaks back in unexpectedly. I can feel in it my heart, I start to feel anxious because there's nothing I can do about it.i start to feel sad and sometimes feel like crying.
How do you feel when your lonely and what do you do to cope?

I get out of the house... call my friends up. Anything that will get me out of my own head.

I don't have any friends to do that with. Right now its 11:30pm so going out won't work now I have a young child at home. Thank you for answering.

@Gigi1425: yeah unfortunately for me I have some working to do on my self esteem in order to be able to connect with people the way Im wanting too. Also dealing with anxiety is no help either, but I'm hopeful I can get better, if I put the effort 🙂👍

Good luck...I've been working on my self esteem for over a year now. I do know I'm in a better place than I was but those feelings never really go away completely.

@Gigi1425: true true, some of it is just part of being human. Other parts are just lack of social interaction throught the day or meaningful connections.

you just need to find someone on here or another outlet that you can text, write to or chat to at any time.. sometimes just writing it down will make you feel better..

Going for a walk, calling a friend, meditating, reading a book, anything to focus your mind elsewhere

I listen to music or find a game to play, maybe read something too. I try not to just watch TV or sit on the internet. It can be difficult.
