The Pain

[Ak5]

Hasn't anyone else felt the pain caused by loneliness to be unbearable? I have been able to cope with it until these recent weeks. I seem to be getting these "attacks" of loneliness and my entire chest area starts to get filled with pain (not physical pain mind you, emotional pain; very hard to explain). I would then get depressed, angry, sad, etc. They come and go (getting them almost daily now), only when I'm thinking about the friends I don't have (i.e. my loneliness) they occur. Funny, I can't stop thinking about friends and how happy I would be if I had any.


Have any of you had this pain?

Yup, I've had it. It sucked. It sucked so hard I finally took action and got my life on the right track again. I hope you will too.

Hopefully next year I can get it back on track. All my efforts are on that. Hurts so much at times its just unbearable. Having no-one to talk to makes it worse off.

Small steps, man. Take a week thinking about some steps to get things going, then start working on it. Start tomorrow with making up thoughts about it. Oh and hey just PM me if you want to talk, I've been there. I can listen, tell from my own experiences, or just shut up and nod if you want, I'm here.

Heh, I've been thinking about it for a long time already. My only concern is being able to survive until next year. I, unfortunately, cannot make any friends (or try to) this year since I am basically homeschooled.

Thanks though. Very much appreciated

The medical term for it is 'psychosomatic pain', but it sucks regardless - and yes, it can actually be a physical pain as well. It sucks, and I am sorry for your present situation.

Let me know if you want to Skype or something sometime. I'm really busy these days, but definitely I'll spare some time for someone who was in my situation.

yes, I feel the same pain, more often than I'd like to, unfortunately.

I know how you feel...just don't give up!
I've actually had chest pain though from it...probably cried enough tears to fill a pool...but when things start to turn around - and it may not happen soon - it'll be like a distant memory.

 

[Pomato]

I know exactly the "chest pain" you're referring to. It's something like a deep gasp of emptiness and slightly dizzy.

 

[Peaches]

emotional pain, have it now - I think I will get sick and die soon, it is just too much

Hey there,

I know what you mean about the physical pain. The only cure is to do something about your loneliness. Go out and try and get some people together as a group of friends. Don't be so concerned about people rejecting you because if they do - who cares, but if they don't...you're no longer as lonely, and the pain will start to fade.

Have any of you had this pain?

Yes, many times in my life. And I'm 28 man. No bf, no good friends as yet. I just been attending stuff but have not developed close friends or just a girlfriend I can hang out with you know.

I have experienced this kind of pain before occasionally. It hurts. Loneliness, depression, sad, angry, its all in it together and that's what makes it really bad. Chat me up or PM me if you want. I am still on this journey, wouldn't say I'm there yet.

I hope some good friends will come into your life soon. Good ones.

same here. I live pretty well off, have great family, great job. However, with no gf or even a close female friend whom I can talk heart to heart to, it does get very lonely at times. My only comfort is that I and my brother live together and at least we can go out and do stuff together occasionally.

That's nice. To have your brother. How old are you and your brother?

I am 31, he is 33. Yes, having a sibling does help. But I recognize that this can not go on forever and eventually, I do need to find a family of my own But it seems like mission impossible
