Loneliness

[red8]

I am so lonely. Newly separated and still sharing the house. I have no one to talk to and no friends, just work colleagues. As soon as my little one goes to bed, so do I. I have no interest in TV, I can't really eat much and my chest aches. I am dreading the future as I know when we sell up and I find somewhere new to live, I will be even more lonely.... and I won't have little one with me as much.

I've had some bad times in my life, but never felt this low.

I am not really sure the purpose of this post... maybe just looking for some company...

OP, I have recently relocated and separated too and spend lots of time feeling lonely. No advice but I know how you feel.

Loneliness is very hard...

Do you have any family, even if they don't live near you?

It is so tough.

I have parents, but they are so upset by everything, I feel guilty talking to them. I just end up reassuring them I'll be fine (though I don't feel it).

Husband is carrying on like a single man... coming and going when he pleases... makes me feel even worse.

I understand this. What I found helpful in your position was focus on you, not what he's doing. My HV told me men move on ridiculously fast whilst women take time and she was right, as I'm now 2.5 years on. I joined a nice gym with a pool / spa but where I could go when I didn't have my son / daughter but kept me busy. I rarely went to the actual gym. Just relaxed by the pool and jacuzzi, read books. I also joined mush mums to make new friends as felt like a social leper whenever ppl found out I was separated. You'll get there!
