when you're alone in the night, what do you do

i live alone, and at times i feel lonely....i only have my elderly parents for support and they live a good distance away.....at night when i'm in bed my thoughts race and i feel insecure, afraid and very alone....with no one there to accompany me or comfort me.

i know it sounds pathetic but does anyone else ever feel like this?

I have experienced this recently while being in the hospital. I'm used to a full house and lots of company so the quiet can be really overbearing at times.

It isn't pathetic. I write a lot here when it gets overwhelming. I've found a lot of care and support and I hope you can find the same 💜
