Anyone else have brief or longer feelings of isolation where you might feel in a wilderness. Anyone else know that moment where you have a person in your thoughts & you contact them .. no response. You try another friend, and and another ... to the point where you feel so alone as if it is only you tnat exists .. frighteningly so? |

Sadly, a lot of people feel the way you do. Over a million people don't see other people more than once a week. You can 'do your bit' by connecting with some of these people, giving both of you that human contact we all crave. Become a hospital visitor, volunteer for a charity organisation, or join a church.
Or, if the 'frightening' feeling of isolation is more urgent than that, refer yourself to IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies)~. They're on the end of the phone, and they can help you through your negative feelings. Good luck! |

"What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured."

It was a sunny late afternoon once when I was driving down a wide avenue in Atlanta US and just felt deathly alone. I lived alone, was without family and knew people but for some reason felt very very out of place. |
