@outlander Sorry to hear you are not too well. Hope you will find some comfort in some things tonight. Wish you a warm, comfortable, hopefully a bit pleasant evening. We are here.

@Shaz51 Hey , thanks for post. It’s so nice. I am sitting breathing through some of my emotional pains, trying not to do stupid things to ‘get rid of’ my sufferings. It’s good to be connected here, makes my pains a bit better.

@Shaz51 I find it hard to cope with my roller coaster emotions. A lot of times just like to sit, hoping the waves will pass.

Hello @Shaz51 @Serenity1 @outlander and good to meet you @Meowmy @Rilakkuma 

I can relate to the theme here. I agree that MI in itself can be isolating. The forum has really helped me in this regard.

Also, the older I get, the less I care what people think and the more open I've become. 

I do have moments/hours/days when the loneliness won't leave me alone. I keep busy. My lovely old Lab helps. I try to accept the feeling and just wait for it to let up.

Hugs @frog  im glad youve your lab. Pets are a great help hey
