Hi All,
I'm lonely and isolated too because I have long term agoraphobia and anxiety.
I can't bear anyone coming to the house when I'm home alone so my isolation is made worse.
Yet I fear being alone at times when my anxiety is high.
It feels as if I'm the centre of attention should anyone call, I don't feel like this when my husband is home as he can take part in the ' entertaining' but it makes me feel very anxious and panicky when alone therefore I avoid all callers when alone, even family has this effect on me.
its a case of not wanting to be around people coz it takes so much out of me but then feeling demented with boredom because Im alone all the time!!!!!!!!!

Well said, that's what makes this illness so severe
yep, im lonely also. just sitting here trying to chat with whoever i can, but its different when your just talking to someone online instead of in real life.
i need some human interaction, even if we did absolutely nothing. at least id have some company while im doing nothing. or maybe we could play a board game together, like scrabble. that would be nice. or even rock paper scissors. i dont care what we do, just ANYTHING!
Everyone does, Thelema. I just hope that one day, we don't feel so lonely anymore.
Thanks, Emmdee
I still struggle with loneliness, but even a few minutes of socializing can perk me up the whole day, so to speak.
I have the All Star bowling team and a couple of leagues I'm in to give me some socializing. I may only get 1 or two days a week where I'm around other people and thats plenty and theres a cute girl that just got on the All Star team
Bowling is good for anybody by the way. You don't need to know very much to join a league and theres usually one going all the time for kids from 6-21 and adult leagues.
