@Greeneyedlady21 ....I'm sorry you are going through a rough time. I know very well how hard it can be to get through a day. It can be a lot of tears and emotional pain. (((Hugs)))

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

It sounds like you are lonely. I’m sorry.

 

I was alone yesterday, am alone today, and will be alone tomorrow. I live alone so, when I’m home, I am alone. I like myself, though, and enjoy my own company. I enjoy being with others, too, but this is not a good time for socializing.

I'm one who loves being alone.   I'm alone right now, at least for the next 5 hours.   I don't know what he's doing tomorrow but I hope it's something.  I'm just so used to being alone that I was terrified that, when he lost his job in June, he would be home all the timem.  He hasn't been.  But I guess it's just what I'm used to and it works for me.

 

I hope you have a good weekend.

What I am receiving from some of these posts is that some of us are lonely due to fact that we are widows and/or have also lost a pet companion. What I am also hearing is that some ladies still have their DH, but are also feeling alone and isolated. I am a widow, but also know the pain of feeling alone and isolated when he was still alive. Very sad.

@goldensrbest I certainly can understand people who enjoy a certain breed of animal.  If you love that breed, that is great!  You may love another animal, but it may not ever spark the delight that you get from your favorite.

 

I have been that way about Siamese cats for a very long time.  There are lots of wonderful cats, and I have had mixed breed cats, but they just don't have that Siamese look and difficult personality (some I'll say!) that I cherish!

These boards are a good place to go to when you are alone, and lonely.

There are people here to connect with.

 

Sometimes, most often, I just read the boards. Sometimes I want to say things I should not say and just sometimes I think to myself would it not be nice to be where that person is speaking about today. Other times I speculate and ponder what is really go on with that person.

It is like being a stalker. Ah, but I am no threat I am invisible just as you really are to me.

 

So maybe I talk to myself or print as I did what I was thinking and saying to myself. So I think to myself, am I loosing my mind. Nay, my mind left me.

 

so many of us are where you are. I want to say it was nice to share these moments with you.
