I Am Sad and Lonely

Having A Tough Morning.

By: lilylilyrose
Written on February 9th, 2013
Very sad and lonely and alone today. Can't seem to do even the smallest tasks. I have lived alone for many years, I feel like my whole life has been alone. And I am 60 years old, what are the chances of it ever changing. I just sit and cry. All of a sudden I looked down and I was 60. I'm in pain.

    I have a long story also, and ive been single for 18 yrs... its difficult because people think at our age we should have friends, a supporting family or kids that have time for us... I feel like i also need to try harder, i just moved to Az also..and i dont know many people and i'm on disability...i live in a snowbird apt that is 250 sq ft. it's hard...just take baby steps to try to get out sometimes...i hope things change eventually for both of us..take care.

    Bless your heart and honesty.
    It's all about connections, the fact you are online is a great thing for this reason. Finding people and community type groups who share your same interests will help you, especially if they meet up and do things and activities together. You have all your experiences and much love to share with others, try not to pour all that energy into crying when you could focus it instead on new beginnings. It is never too late to re-write your life, to do things you dreamt you could never achieve the hardest thing is to 'start it'. It's easy for others to give advice but have some faith in-you, you are unique, and special, x

    Ever wish that you could do a restart? If I could do that, I'd try to get it right this time. No bucket lists, or loneliness.

      a restart? why not? I have the freedom to do that- kids are grown, it's almost time for retirement, etc

    Hello Lilylilyrose,
    I feel the same, I am 52 and simply could not take anymore of my abusive ex. I have tough mornings to but I know that I have done the right thing - it is so hard to start again in a fresh new life. We all need to meet new people to share experience and have some fun in our lives.
