Things are shite. Job gone in a few months, so called ‘friends’ gone, stress with family and ex husband, too many disrespectful guys on here.... I’ve never felt so lonely in my life. Anyone in a similar position? Let’s talk either on here or PM me. I’ve dropped all filters  |

I think for different reasons people struggle all the time.
I went through this probably in 2019 more, but i come out the otherside and life is ok again.
I think the key thing you have to remember is, bad times are temporary and do go away. It takes time. Life will always give us good as well as bad x |

I wouldn't say I feel the loneliest I ever have, but for me the sense of loneliness comes from wondering if anyone will ever truly understand and appreciate me.
I do accept that the answer is likely to be no, but that doesn't stop the pangs of sadness and disappointment.

If you need to talk lovely drop me a line. Unfortunately working from home (I guess I should be grateful) but I can always make time for a lady that knows her lingerie x |

OP I am happy to lend an ear via PM.
I can very much relate to family stresses especially since lockdown happened.
Using the Fab forums is my 'escape' from those stresses.
I wasn't aware of the stress in your life. If you wish to, a message from you would be most welcome in my inbox.
Xxx |

Never too late to start reaching out again, even if it's only baby steps at first.

I’m on my own, generally happy in my own world but do miss the company of a regular partner. I’m lucky this weekend as I’ll have a few friends over on Saturday as I find that particular night tough. But starting to feel this is very much my life from now on.
However I am an optimist in general, lucky that I’ve never suffered any mental health issues due to my situation, but truly hope things get better for all commenting on this thread |

It very much sounds like you are suffering with depression pal. Have you spoken to your GP about your feelings and what remedies are available? |

I just want to send you a virtual hug and a kiss. You are not alone and there are a lot of people in a similar position. I am working from home since February, I was looking to change companies at the start of the year, my job is boring and without any progress or career prospect and good colleagues were leaving. And then Corona came and everything closed down. Friends are in isolation, some of them I haven't seen for half a year.
My FWB moved back to her country a year ago, I had hope to find someone here on FAB, despite being outside the age filter for most of the people.
Some lucky mail exchanges, and then Corona came.
I feel lonely, I miss a hug and friendly face without a mask.
So let's hug each other and cheer up.   |

I'm not normally one to publicise any emotions but in the spirit of solidarity and also to demonstrate that sharing is always better than keeping things to yourself, I thought I'd participate in this thread.
It hadn't dawned on me that I'd be turning 40 in 10 days. It really crept up on me. 40 is a big deal right? But truth is, even if there was no coronavirus, I'd probably be spending my birthday in a low key way with nobody particularly special helping to celebrate. I'd probably have lunch with my mum and sister and that'd be it. I feel pretty tragic actually. |

Feel your pain op as at times I can feel lonely in a household full of people but I’m sure that with the forums to keep you occupied that you can push through to a better place.
I’m on here a lot so if you ever need a sounding board I’m available if selected and can promise nothing of a sexual nature but just a ear a shoulder and convo that will send you to sleep.
Best of luck op.

Message to all, my inbox is always open if need to talk or vent, don't like to think there are people feeling isolated and alone. There have been times when I have been surrounded by friends and/or family and felt so lonely.
I'm a good listener, but I'd take any advice with a large pinch of salt!
Kind thoughts to all  |

I've felt that overwhelming loneliness at times before. But then I have brilliant friends like you that help me feel less alone. I love you and I hope this feeling for you passes soon. You've got so much resilience and things will get better soon, x |

I think threads like this ought to be continued as a space for people who feel a need to talk to someone. It's not easy to admit these honest feelings to yourself let alone to other people, even if it is on the Internet. Personally, I haven't experienced any low feelings for a long while and what I am currently feeling is new and I hope is only fleeting. Others may find that their mental state is a longer battle. Yet it still took me by surprise and wasn't easy to admit I was feeling blue. But the OP starting this thread and others contributing led to my own post. We may not find any solutions to any issues on here but at least people may feel they are not alone. |

Know that feeling been single sometime now and living on my own.
Most friends my age either moved on in life with kids all settled down or mortgages and constantly busy etc..
Unlike when I was in my 20's with a massive social circle and could call up on friends for company and having laugh and with the family living the other side of the country is hard to reach out to people for a natter or a drink
Would be nice to have a chat and some company constantly being ghosted not good for the olde confidence...
So lets all have a forum group hug  |

My life circumstances mean I'm very isloated, and I've had a really bad afternoon after trying to do something that would be no trouble for most people. Health problems can be awful.
I'm really sorry to hear so many things are going on with you.
I don't tend to send messages first as I'm really struggling with my vision but I would love someone to give mutual support to and I've wanted a lovely woman to chat with for ages. Most make assumptions about me and avoid me lile the plague.
I'm here if you'd like to talk.x |

Very much so
I wasn’t the best before all of this to be fair but this has hit me like a train.
Motivation has been hit hard.
Hope all are well and continue to improve in whatever way you are struggling etc  |

Sorry to hear. But you are still here and that counts in my book. Whilst I do not know whether being on Fab helps, I hope that it can. At least reading a thread like this can give a sense that many share similar plights. |

Aw sorry to here that OP
You are not alone though. Many many people have suffered losses and isolation these past few months.
It really does show who are your real friends eh. But chin up, and realise you don't need anyone to bring you happiness. I realised that long ago.... |

I have never felt so alone and isolated as I have over the last few months, and for me watching people get together and be in bubbles and move on not only made me lonelier but it also made me feel very out of place and unwanted.
I really hope everyone has started feeling happier and more involved in the world again xx |

So sorry to hear people are feeling like this!
I hate to think of anyone feeling alone or unwanted, here everyone fits.
Inbox open if anyone wants a friendly ear and chat, I can't promise to make things better but I might be able to make you feel a little less lonely  |
