Re: Living with Loneliness
I try to address my loliness via journaling, walking/ stroking my dog, chatting in SANE, having a cuppa with my neighbour.

Re: Living with Loneliness
Hi @MattFSX
Thanks for posting and reaching out.
I feel that when we do that - we open a little window of opportunity. I hope you get some benefit from some of the answers here.
To address your questions. Here's what it's like for me:
- Loneliness at times feels existential and brings up questions like "does anything really matter" & "what's the point of it all". Other times it actually feels okay. I mean, if this is all we've got, I can choose to get comfortable and move along best I can.
Loneliness, the feeling of, does impact my wellbeing. It's a feeling though it comes and goes. Just like the tides.
- I am often at my most lonely among people. Particularly if I feel we have nothing to share. At times. like that I go back to basics and look for the "humanity" that binds us all.
- As for tips. I breathe in and out. Focus on the present. Remind myself of what was is it like when I did not feel lonely and what contributed to feeling such way. I also use loneliness to spur me into action. What can I do to feel less lonely. I know that connection is important........I try to think of ideas that would help me connect to others. If all this does not help in the moment I go back to nature. A starry sky has many times given me the hope and perspective I needed when times were challenging.
I wonder if you reaching out in this Forum, is your way of kicking into gear and trying to understand this feeling a bit more.
Wish you the very best Matt.
