I Am Lonely

According to this report, loneliness is worse for your health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day or being obese, if it lasts longer than 2-weeks. I’ve been lonely for years, and sometimes the pain of loneliness made my chest ache so bad that I thought it would kill me. I hope my regular exercise and healthy diet, negate the stress of it on my health.

I know the feeling. Didn’t realize the health effects

@jaymic64 Apparently, it takes a toll on your organs and brain. I can believe it. There have been times when loneliness has been so severe that it feels like a physical pain. It’s probably related to the stress and tension it brings about, which releases the stress hormone, cortisol.
