Loneliness with a support system

Last week I had a terrible feeling of loneliness. Even though I had messages from family, my partner right beside me and silly reels sent by friends, I felt lonely. And I realised that it’s okay. It’s not their fault, they haven’t done anything wrong.

Looking back now with a clearer mind, I appreciate their presence, while I just felt lonely. I don’t know how to explain it really as it’s difficult to explain emotions sometimes.

I felt lonely, like perhaps no one truly understood what I was feeling even though I don’t even know the full extent of my own emotions. It could be the result of bigger stresses (work, finances, mental health, etc). I couldn’t really understand.

But again it’s not their fault. I need to talk and be clear about what I’m feeling (which is something that I need to truly work on). Your feeling of loneliness is valid even though you may have the support of others around you. I like to think that that’s okay and perhaps those same people will be able to support you in your situation.

And for those of you who might not have the same support system, know that we’re always here for a simple chat or to talk it out ☺️ you’ll never be lonely here if you just reach out.

Hope your mid-week is going well 🙏
