You are hurting ScaredOfLonely, I can understand that. You are allowed to feel this way and share how you feel but I don't think it is fair to hit out at others in this way.

Perhaps you could have said, 'I wish I had someone to miss?

I agree. Just because I miss someone does not mean it's healthy to miss that person. I should not miss the person I missed when I started this thread. Also, my last post means that that someone is not there.
 
You should ALL be grateful! There are those of us who have nobody to miss. It just plain sucks!

I was once told that great love also brings great loss. Additionally, I believe in the saying, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all." I am sorry you have never experienced great love. I don't wish anyone to experience great loss but unfortunately the two go hand in hand. Open your heart, let someone in and give it a try. I can tell you that even though I am sad about my losses, I am so very grateful to have had that love if even for a second than to have never felt that at all. The grief of loosing that at times is overwhelming but at least you are left with the memories.
 
You must be a supporter...

Oh, DUH, why didn't I think of that?!? Oh yeah, maybe it's this PTSD thing that keeps everyone away. I can make friends, but as soon as they see ONE panic attack or flashback, I'm alone again. People suck.

If you are referring to me as a supporter, I am a survivor. At least I am working my way towards being a survivor.

Perhaps you can go talk to someone and work through some of those issues. I too have panic attacks and flashbacks. It can be better BUT YOU have to make that effort. It will never get better if you don't help yourself.

Sending you strength and well wishes to find some peace!
 
I miss a relationship I used to have that went wrong, I miss him even though it's wrong to when he's caused all this.

I miss my old mentor, I should have told you how I felt as I think you felt the same way too. We were so right together and did each other so much good. I did what, technically and morally, was the right thing. I still miss you and think of you most days. It hurts.

I miss that man. Sigh. You most certainly weren't any good for me :rolleyes:.

I miss my work colleagues and the support they always gave me, even though they didn't think I needed it.
 
I miss my best friend who died 11 years ago. It's been a long painful mourning process and I feel like I've worked hard to make some major steps forward this year but I will ALWAYS miss you, Stephen! I will answer the phone expecting to hear you call me your funny name for me and ask me where I am and when I'm coming out your way.

I miss those people that have been wrenched from my life that I loved very very much. It does make it hard to love and feel connected because I expect at times it will happen when I least expect. I know how bad it hurts and the holes it leaves so I stay way too fragile still. I hope to solid-up myself with living in the now more.
