At first I was just going to journal in a word document, but i found my self typing "being lonely" on Google and here I am. My life on the outside is pretty good; husband, house, job, education, but on the inside I feel empty and alone. I am a recovering drug addict (four years clean), and there is still so much i need to learn about how to deal with feelings and life on life's terms. I had to change everything when i stopped using drugs including lifelong friends. I still have not made any deep connections with new people in my life and everything seems superficial. I come from a broken home with a mother who had severe mental illness, so i have always longed for that relationship and in reality it will never come to be. I know right now if i could just stop being so damn self centered i would be better but sometimes.... i am powerless over my thoughts and feelings. | |
