To feel discontented with life

[Bagladygirl]

I feel unhappy and as though something is missing

I feel dreadful this January
I feel isolated and alone but yet struggle to have meaningful relationships where I pop in on friends and they pop in on me as I don't know how to do it

Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling low OP. However, you haven't really given much information to go on. Could it be the time of year? Many people end up getting a bit down in the dumps in January / February, as by then winter seems to have dragged on for ever. If that might be it, could you perhaps plan a holiday so that you have something to look forward to when the nicer weather does come along? Alternatively, if you think you're suffering from SAD, then can you afford one of those light boxes, they do seem to work, and aren't too expensive.

You say that you feel isolated and alone, but don't really explain why you feel that way, are you not able to work, do you not have any family? Perhaps give us a little more info, and I'm sure people will come up with some ideas that might help. Oh, also, tell us how old you are, and whether you have a partner/children.

Hey I'm a single mum and have an awful extended family who just non stop argue and drama so I steer clear
have about 3 friends who are great but also have their own life
single mum to a teen who won't go to anyone else and is quite struggling at the minute
