Today I feel particularly lonely. I (42) recently separated from my ex. I did not want this. We live in a town were we have no family or friends. We are about t9 move back to our hometown, which will improve things a bit. In the meantime, I have no job. So I just felt an enornmous dread of spending the rest of the day alone. The part that bugs me is that one of my closest friends is in town for a few days, and told me to catch up with him. But I don't feel like it at all. I feel lonely but at the same time feel the need to isolate. I am still going trough the grief of my separation and don't really feel like going out or talking about it at all. Anyone ever felt like that? Last night my 4yo spent the night with me. I enjoyed his company very much. Maybe tonight I'll have him again. That's all I can look forward to.
