I feel very sad and alone

[missalarmclockhater]

With no partner, no family and my friends are lovely but caught up (naturally) with their own partners and families.

I don't know why I'm posting really other than to wonder how I can get myself out of this rut I find myself in! x

Im sorry you feel like this miss, do you have any family at all?

Would you consider joining some clubs?

How old are you?

I think you probably need to try to widen your social circle by trying a new hobby or class, so that you meet more people in similar situations. I know it's not easy to go out of your comfort zone, but you need to mix it up a bit.

Hi, I am 31. Clubs is difficult as there isn't much on - mainly for mums/retired people (on during the day.) I'm a member of a gym but people are just plugged into their ipods - which is fair enough! - but it isn't very social. x

I think getting involved in something what's close to your heart will make difference.
Is there anything you hold close to your heart where you could volunteer?

I am not sure happy - onthe one hand I'd like to but I need to find something I am passionate about I think :)

yes - then you wouldn't mind making that extra effort :)

What sort of things interest you? Sport, music, art? Are there any particular causes you care about? Hobbies or evening classes are often a good way to make friends, as is getting involved in a cause or campaign.

missalarmclockhater, where are you from? We're in a similar situation - I'm 30 and single.

PM me if you like.

I'm the same, when I was married I lived in city, had friends and clubs and a social life.

Now I live in a village, too far to walk into town, no clubs or anything.
