Feel free to share more if you ever need to friend. It can be very hard being isolated, and not having an outlet to let things out. We are here if you ever want/need to vent.
Sorry you’ve been feeling isolated in life, friend. This is definitely a hard place to be in. Whenever the word isolation hits, I remember about personal times of my life when I was physically alone and the loneliness felt absolutely unbearable. It creates this unique type of silence in your life that words are not enough to describe. A silence that seems to be so loud at the same time while it says absolutely nothing and feels out of life. It feels like carrying something heavy on you all the time, making every single task feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things. New days don’t feel as exciting anymore and more like a repetition of yesterday. I remember days when I would think that if I died nobody would knew at least before a week or more, which made me feel even more like my life was both pathetic and meaningless. It’s certainly harder to fight the dark thoughts that can appear when it feels like no one is present in our life to hear us, to carry burdens with us and share smiles too.
Somehow, we are social creatures and we long for this sense of connection, even if it can feel scary or unsafe sometimes too. There is something refreshing and thrilling in knowing that we are not alone, and it’s a crutch that can help us learn to appreciate solitude as a gift, instead of a burden.
I hear you out and understand somehow how discouraging it can be to feel like there’s no one in your life, that you’re just on your own and have to count on yourself before anyone else. That somehow the world has abandoned you and left you to your own suffering. It makes it harder to keep trying for yourself and see the point of it all.
If anything, I want you to know that you have a community here at Heartsupport, made of people who genuinely care and understand what you are going through. Even if our stories are different, there is a lot of people out there who understand how it feels to experience loneliness in a painful manner, to have it in our life like a burden to carry all the time, or like something that makes you less lucky than others. It probably sound ironic - not being alone in our loneliness -, but somehow there can be inspiration and encouragement to find in this awareness too. What you are experiencing does not have to be a fatality either. I don’t know your life context of course, but I would certainly like to encourage you to keep faith in yourself and in the possibility to welcome trustworthy people on your life, at your own pace. hat feels burdening and/or impossible to achieve now lay feel very different in months or years as you will keep growing, healing, and maybe exploring new possibilities.
You absolutely deserve to feel connected, loved, supported through all the good and the bad moments of life. You matter.
