I'm feelin' lonely, y'all

I think it's an aftereffect of spending a short amount of time with the family this past weekend. May sound silly, but the loneliness is tugging on my heart. :cry:

can I put my arms around you?" :hug:

You're very sweet. :hug:

:hug:

Hugs are very healing. :hug:

:hug:

My heart is breaking right now, so a hug is the medicine I need. :hug:

:hug:

:loveya: Thank you.

I was happy being around my family too since I don't get to be around them as much due to work . It was good to let me know that I do have some good in my life :)

I love my family to distraction. And they love me. Sometimes, it hurts. Know what I mean? :hug:

I wish there was something I could do SeattleGirl. :hug:

My loneliness comes from a realization I made this weekend. Just dealing with the pain of that. Thanks to you for caring. :hug:

:hug: :loveya:









:spank: :spank: :spank:



:rofl:

A little lovin'
A little spankin'

Just what the doc ordered!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

I'll look at the photo of your new 'do again. :evilgrin:

But another spankin' might be just the thing! :evilgrin:

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

:evilgrin:

...good on you!...:hug:

But we survived, and love each other to pieces. Thanks for the hug, Robeson! :loveya:

:hug: :grouphug:

You are a wonderful friend! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

Friends are the bestest thing in the world! :loveya:

of friends. It's true, imho. If loneliness has you by the short hairs, the only thing you can do is try to work your way out of it and bide your time while it is depressing you. And it will. I am thankful for my aunt and my cats and some great people on DU. I get pulled out of feelings like that on a lot of ocassions. If this helps, and I hope it does, we are here with you. :hug:

What you say is absolutely true. I'm just going through some stuff right now, and even though I have my family, friends, and my DU family, I guess there are just things I need to go through by myself. But having y'all around sure as hell helps! :hug:

Here's some hugs for you, darlin' girl! I certainly do understand about loneliness.......



:grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :grouphug:

Thank you so much! I know this will pass, but it's really getting to me tonight. Life is changing for me, and sometimes it's a little tough. Thank The Maker for friends like you! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

being tough.......

And I have also asked for support here in the Lounge, and gotten it in spades.....

I am honored to be here for you, my dear girlfriend!

I don't have any fancy smilies, but the ones I use are from the heart...

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

I'm gonna have to make some changes, I think. Some big ones. Changes that will cause pain. But more and more, I realize I cannot keep living a lie. Sorry, friend. I think I'm having a pity party. I hate that. Thank you for your love and friendship, my darlin' Miss Peggy! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Thank you, love! :loveya:

I don't know what's got you down, but at least you are among friends here. That's got to count for something, doesn't it? :hug:

Some life changes I need to make, changes that will be painful, but that ultimately will be for the best. :hug: Having friends helps so much!

Loneliness really sucks. I'm with ya, SeattleGirl. :loveya:

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

:hug:

I know what it's like. I get lonely too, particularly recently.

:hug:

Feel better now?

A hug from you is always nice. :hug:

Especially not to some of us experts at solitude and paradoxical feelings associated therewith...:-)

I hope that the emotional landscape of your life improves only for the better, Ms Seattle...

:hug:

I loved spending time w/ my family over Christmas, but here comes one of my two least favorite holidays... New Years. I have no plans, no one to do anything with, no one to kiss at the stroke of midnight.

While I usually feel so blessed to have such a great family that I love to spend time with, now I feel very alone.

:hug:
New Year's Eve is bittersweet for me, too. It's also a countdown to my birthday, which feels odder every year. This year, I'll be with my family - but I'm very much aware that those days are coming to an end in a few years.

After everyone's asleep that night, I'll be here. With my family, that will probably be around 10 pm. We can look forward to a better year ahead, with all the other fine people of DU.

I hate feeling this way, and hate it when others do to. :hug:

Sorry, had to say it.

:grouphug:

:pals:

"All alone in a crowd" and all that, you know. :pals:

Go ahead, get some sleep!

:pals:

Then I hit the wall, and that's all she wrote, folks! :pals:

Sometimes a loooooong night stretches out until I fall asleep...usually at the computer... :pals:

Fall asleep on the couch in mid-sentence. Wake up, the mouse is on the floor. the computer is still on my lap....sheesh!

At least the mouse isn't crawling up your leg!!!

:rofl:

:pals:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Glad I made you smile!

:D

:hug:

:hug:

:hug: from afar. Walk your path!

"Walk your path." The truest way to live life. Sometimes it's a little rocky though.....:hug:

Otherways the whole path becomes too flat and straight. ;)

Yeah, I guess a few rocky patches are necessary. :hug:

Except your loneliness will dissipate.

Mine is eternal.

You never know....you loneliness may disappear some day, when you least expect it. :hug:

Either way, good or not so good, have another hug: :hug:

There's still something I have to deal with, which won't be easy, but such is life, huh?

And thanks for the hug. Those are always welcome! :hug:

Hold fast to what you know to be right and true. Follow your heart, but be sure your mind is alert. Above all, take your time. Nothing needs to be solved overnight. :hug:

:hug:

I know that feeling. Perhaps it would help to think about how that loneliness is a reminder of how loved you feel around those that you love, and to appreciate all that love.

:pals:

Hope you're feeling better very soon.

:pals:

:hug:

You know I :loveya: so much! Sorry I'm not around much these days!

:D

Thank you, darlin'. I :loveya: you too. You and my other DU friends are so wonderful. :hug:

there would be some way to get together and not be so lonely

:shrug:

I love this place.

It's been a pretty bleak year and a bleak holiday this year

But DU can usually at least distract, if not actually cheer me up

And give us a place to air our woes, and celebrate the good things.

it's a bummer.

Get out of the house and do something.

:hi:

My in-laws were here and gone in the blink of an eye! I got teary-eyed in church on Christmas Eve because I missed my own parents and siblings and wished to be with them.

:hug:

Where does your family live?

Both my husband and I were born and raised in Minnesota. We've been in Idaho for five years.

I do understand what you are feeling, though. There have been several Christmasses over the years where for various reasons I've not been able to be with my family. I really missed them most at that time.

but it's best not to drink when you're down.

Hugs, however, can be consumed in abundance
