Been Away For So Long

Support

Hi everyone.

I have been away from this site for a few months now. I have missed you all.

Seems, my fibro and lupus are well controlled at this time. I am so grateful for that.

I have had major life changes that have led me in directions I did not like.

Me and my partner of 5 years broke up a few months ago. Now, she has moved out of the house.

I am very lonely and feel like my house is too big now.

I don't know how to deal with the loneliness. I am reaching out for friendship and I will not stay away from this forum for a long time anymore...

Hope every one is ok....If anyone needs a friend, I am here....

Hi Gemm ,

Good to hear from you again! It is not unusual that our life takes a turn and keeps us away from BF for a while. It's always nice to come back here and reconnect with those who understand the challenges.

Hope you join in the discussions! Stay well!

Hi Gemma, I’m so glad you have re-joined us, there are so many wonderful, caring and understanding members here. I know you will connect with others and thus not feel so alone. It’s so hard to go through such a change, especially after 5 years, but I always have to think when one door closes another opens .
Stay strong
Hugs & blessings

Sometimes we have to take breaks from sites like this to focus our energy on other things going on in our lives.

So good to hear that your lupus and fibro are well controlled right now. I also have lupus and fibro. For me, the lupus is under good control, but the fibro diagnosis is new and we are still working on that.

If you're feeling better, can you get out to places where you can meet new people? Call a friend to meet you for lunch? Or volunteer somewhere a few hours a week? I find that just interacting with others helps with loneliness. Sites like this help too, but sometimes I feel like I need face time with other people.

I've only been here since December, but I'm glad you're back. Sounds like you were missed. :)
