Alone Vs Loneliness

[Snowflake]

I like being alone. But the loneliness sucks so bad. I am not sure why or what I am posting-just really want to connect right now-to someone

I am the same way right now. I don't want to be around anyone but want to connect from a distance. Do you feel that way ?

I want someone to understand how this feels. I want someone to help me understand how I feel.

I understand how this feels. I think it's as simple as: as humans we need connection. We just need to have someone around the house, preferably in another room.

Well said Lana.

Me, too! I tend to spend a lot of time alone, but then I end up lonely. And I do not understand it. So I really can relate to you say that you want someone to understand and to help you understand. Hope knowing you're not alone in these feelings helps.

I need words and I don't have them -I want to call my therapist and scream and cry but I don't have words to speak

I have called my therapist when I have felt like that. I don't have words, but sometimes I have just cried over the phone and let her reassure me even if I can't tell her what's wrong. You may just say exactly what you started this post with and tell him/her that you don't have the words to speak, but you need the support.

I just saw her this morning-I sensed alittle frustration because I couldn't say what was happening nor the part that is upset. I just leave crazy messages.

I saw my therapist this morning and I ended up e-mailing her this afternoon. I felt bad because I have seen her 3 times this week, but I just needed the support so I e-mailed her. Afterwards, I did some collage work and that seemed to help shift things a little bit. I am super fuzzy feeling, but trying to hang in there.

I am sorry this is hurting and confusing you. Many feel this way and We do understand.
I love my solitude today because I have worked so hard to find myself. I am Not lonely in my solitude because I have me. I hope this at least gives you Hope that the work is worth it. Gentle hugs if you accept.

I agree with ladee. In my good times when I put me first then I am fine with being alone. Can you do something nice for yourself?
