Hi @AlexandraOcean and welcome.
I overeat often too.
It's usually when I overdrink.
I'm trying to break those unhealthy habits as well.
I try replacing it with exercise, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Hope you have better luck!
thanks for sharing, kudos to us for taking positive steps! It's so nice to know that I'm not alone and that there are others that understand the challenges of being a sensitive human being in this world.
Hi AlexandraOcean
HiHi there,
As the title states, I'm here because I'm struggling to fulfill my need for deep connection and it leaves me feeling lonely even when I'm around people, even when im with the people I love most in the world.
I've been struggling with PMDD for a few years now meaning I have bouts where I am bed bound and unable to get out and connect with the world.
I'm struggling with a few different things
- ageing - as a woman in my late forties I'm noticing my youthful beauty fading, I know that there is so much more to me than just my looks but the more I feel 'unseen' for who I am on the inside the more I find myself relying on my external to capture attention and appreciation and the greater my fear is of losing my looks
- no strings attached yet deep connection - I go in and out of wanting / needing deep connection. I struggle with friendships because I can't always be there for my friends and they can't always be there for me when I need them so I love the idea of having online connections that I can call upon and visa versa but that don't carry the weight of expectation or attachment.
- meeting like minded men and women - I thrive and thoroughly enjoy deep and honest conversations, my hubby is the polar opposite and it has me feel really sad. He is happiest talking about topics that are not about him, or me or us and it leaves me feeling disconnected. Whrn he talks about himself its usually about the past. I really hope in time we can learn to enjoy speaking each other's languages. Whilst this is my main priority to deepen my connection with him, I think that connecting deeply with others will feed this need taking the pressure of my relationship (if that makes sense).
- overeatingI've been turning to food to deal with my loneliness and I want to break out of this unhealthy habit by replacing it with satisfying connections
Looking forward to hearing from you soon and tackling our loneliness together one deep juicy connected conversation at a time

Thank you, so far it's been really lovely getting to know people on here. It really has been lifting me up and feeding that need for connection. I hope I'm paying it forward to others as well
I have always been a person to only have a select few as close friends. After my wife of 24 passing I found out the select few was not what I would even call a friend. Once a friend I'm all in Ill be there through anything, But unfortunately there isn't many folks out there the same even people you choose to Marry. But with that being said at 55 yr old I so long for some lady to share conversations and experiences with.Hi there,

I also struggle for deep connection. I can relate to the 'mdd' portion of the pmdd, since that stands for major depressive disorder' even though the mdd in that acronym is 'dysphoric disorder'. Deep connection takes a long time to develop with people I'm sure. I've had 2 best friends commit suicide and other friends die or move away. Even when they were alive I felt lonely. Now, @ 63 years old, and married for 25 years, like what you said 'my husband is the exact opposite'... me too, and no kids here. Maybe we can continue to talk and get to know one another. There's so much more#!Hi there,
