Re:Do You Ever Feel All Alone? alexr552: Yep - I know exactly what you are going through. I've felt so alone lately. Not only am I 1000 miles away from any family and friends but I also work at home, therefore I don't have anyone to vent to except thru here and email (and that gets old after while). I'm thinking of getting a part time job so 1) I can get out of the house and meet people and 2) so I can improve my finances since I didn't expect to pay the mortgage and bills all by myself. Just like you - I don't have a supportive family so I do the best I can with my friends who are far away. I'm actually going back 'home' (PA) in a couple weeks to visit with some old friends so I'm hoping that helps. At the same time, I hope it doesn't make me homesick and make me want to move from FL. I really like it here and I'm hoping I can start my new life here also.
Re:Do You Ever Feel All Alone? GreenEyes72: I know exactly what you mean. I feel alone too. I had been with my stbX for eleven years. I was 20 and he was 18 when we met. Now I feel like damaged goods. Here I am 31 years old, thinking I was going to be starting a family in a few years. Now I am alone without a man in my life for the first time since I was 16. We have been separated for only a month. There are so many different feelings going through my head. I just have to be strong and I need to work on getting through this.
We can be strong and get through this. We will find happiness again some day... Hang in there.
Re:Do You Ever Feel All Alone? al77: I moved back home with my stbx after being away for six years. I thought my friends would be here for me and we would resume our friendship. That was a huge misconception on my part. I realized that over the years we had only seen each other under ideal circumstances i.e. xmas parties, summer vacations. What I did not realize was that they had made new friends and that we had all grown into different people.
So...my husband decided to leave me and I now have no one, with the exception of my wonderful mother. Not only do we we have to start over when our marriages end with new romantic relationships, we have to recreate a life for ourselves, new friends, often new jobs, new ways of thinking etc. I am fortunate that I have a wonderful job. Not a social atmosphere, but well paying and satisfying. That is my saving grace these day. I am very lonely, however, and the weekends are pure agony! With few friends, and no single friends, I am forced to find things to do alone, which is a new experience for me. A.
Re:Do You Ever Feel All Alone? EZ: hi Tired yes im with you brother and Bryce you posted exactly what i feel i will be trying some new ideas after the first of the year if i am still sane then ;)
Re:Do You Ever Feel All Alone? Lonestargal: I am new to the board, but as a person going through a divorce this thread interested me a great deal.
I am someone who currently works from home and I am in the process of starting up a business. This whole process has been tough and my recent move to a new city has me thinking maybe that wasn't the best of ideas. My family is 1500 miles away and my old home in Texas is 1100 miles away.
As someone else mentioned, my friends are not really the type who are "there for you" and I am not close to my family.
It is also quite different moving from a large house in the suburbs to a somewhat small apartment. I left behind one cat (brought along one cat and dog) and that has been tough as well.
I am finding it difficult to be motivated, but hopefully it is just a process.
Sorry to make my first post such a whiney one, lol. I guess I am feeling extra funky today.
