So I just got back from visiting relatives. We had a takeaway, a few drinks. I felt anxious, like I always do. It was great to see my teenage niece and nephew and everybody made me feel welcome. So why I do feel down? My sister and brother-in-law dropped me off and I'm sitting here on my own, smoking and drinking low alcohol wine. They don't know the extent of my anxiety, I guess they just see good old sis, good old auntie. Loneliness is a funny thing. Maybe this time next year there'll be someone special in my life and I won't feel as lonely as I do now. I shouldn't feel alone, I have family, friends (had a phone message from my friend when I got in but haven't treplied yet). I shouldn't be feeling lonely and yet I am.
