Really fucking lonely

[daffodilsunlocked]

Am I alone? I know logically that I'm not and I always get like this on NYE, but man, I am so fucking lonely it's painful

I have 3 beautiful DC and I am so exceptionally lucky to be their mum but I have no friends and no partner (kids DD passed away 4 years ago)

So, as another New Year approaches, I sit, again, willing for someone, anyone to reach out to me, just tell me I will be ok

Currently sat in a coffee shop crying, WTF?! 😢

Sending big hugs. I feel the same. Painfully lonely. Social media doesn’t help at all. Know you’re not alone in feeling the way you do x

Won’t be just you, I have 4 kids no friends either, only speak to my mum and ex is absent. Always feel low this time of year

You're not alone, you will be ok

3 DC, no partner or family and my friends all seem to have disappeared since the start of the Pandemic. I’m lucky if I even get a text back.

It’s depressing as fuck. And I already have severe MH issues.

So, you’re not the only one.

You're not alone. Keep reaching out and keep hanging in there. The holidays are always particularly bad.

I feel for you. This time of year really hits us that we are alone.
I'm a single mum with no extended family.
Going through a heartbreaking time with my eldest DS, and today has been like the grand finale.
I can't be bothered to see this one in. It's just a continuation of the same old crap.

Just started a thread on this! I agree with a pp, social media do want help- I'll be avoiding it tonight.

I'm the same OP probably the worst I've ever been. I have amazing parents but no partner, no children and all my friends are miles away with lives of their own. I also have health issues that are causing me a lot of social distress and I'm unhappy in my job. I fear my future holds no joy or comfort whatsoever x

Sending virtual love to you all

Agree wholeheartedly that SM is the worst for this.

I do think of how lucky I am though, in the sense that I am here, partner-less, but there must be so many women out there in abusive relationships right now, feeling as down as me, but for more valid reasons

By the way for what it's worth I burst into tears in Asda a couple of weeks ago for the same reason, everyone was with someone. Where are you based OP?

I feel lonely too. I am married but feel alone in my marriage and will be alone tonight (if you don't count DD who is a toddler). Sending solidarity and love. X

Can I join? Struggling with 3dc eldest DC causing me lots of pain and I am a sufferer of child to parent abuse. Husband in his head gave up years ago and we are living together unhappily each drowning in our own stress. Have a handhold op. This is a tough time if year x

Hugs to all those struggling.

You sound absolutely lovely. Sending a hug and hello.
Please remember social media is a tiny Snapshot of people's lives and not in any way real, just what people want to display to the world. Tbh I tend to be suspicious of folk who post endless happy family stuff, why does everyone need to see this. I have MH condition that makes me extremely anxious and I overthink everything. This prevents me from sustaining some friendships and as a result I can feel very lonely. Why not make this the year you join a group, club or something. Maybe you need new people around you. You will be OK

I feel your pain. I'm 56 next week and have no friends. I should have well established groups by now..from school.. uni.. different jobs I've had. It's just not happened. It's got to the point where I lie to my son that I've met x y or z person for coffee so he doesn't worry about me. I haven't. If I died tomorrow he would be the only person at the funeral. What does that say about me after all these years on the planet? It's always me making the effort with people. If I don't text first then I just don't hear from anyone. It's horrible.

You are not alone.

I’m almost wishing to be called in to work. I’m working tomorrow anyway but I’d happily go in tonight.

Sometimes my life out of work feels more like work.

Hang in there flower

Honestly you are not alone in feeling this way. This time of year compounds everything. I’ve always hated New Years Eve. I’ve tried to like it but it always brings me down. Other people’s lives and expectations , forced happiness like Christmas time. My life never matches up !
NYE merely accentuates loneliness.

Sending you a big hug and thinking of you, in the same position myself and it's a difficult time of year. Wish I could offer better words of comfort but just want you to know you aren't alone in feeling like this, so many of us on here relate

You are not alone OP in feeling this way. Be kind to yourself. Remember fb isn't really real. One of the folk I know gushing about being loved up..well...she and husband are at each others throats after he had an affair. Take it all with a pinch of salt.

I feel like I'm starting again from scratch, friendship groups are all established by now and I don't have one either. It is hard.
