Can I talk to someone?

[Anonymous]

I feel extremely lonely

I am in a city far away from my friends, not the closest to my family... my friends are busy so we can't talk often

I haven't dated in a long time, I keep missing my ex who I believed was my soulmate

The people in this city gave me trauma in the past so I am not very willing with making friends here, and I don't want to open up to the people I work with

I just feel so lonely and I would like a listening ear who can help me work through my feelings

Sure, it not too hard, as long as you are not expecting too much. :)

Yes, we can talk. First of all, you should leave your past and forget and look forward.

I've tried
But it doesn't stay in the past
One way or the other it comes back right to haunt me

Then, you should something to keep busy your head. Find a hobby, read books, or try to learn something, maybe coding. And don't feel lonely. Think that everyone is your friend here. You can talk to us anytime.

I wish it was a button I could turn off and not feel lonely

I am keeping myself busy with work but as soon as I leave work, my soul feels empty

What is your job? Don't worry, it will all pass. I think everyone has a bed time in their life. I has ones. But all passed.

I work in healthcare
It's like my bad time is always there

You should find some exciting hobbies. How is your daily routine?

[Asker]

There is no set schedule
Mostly my shift ends at 5pm, but rarely would I leave work at 5pm, I could leave at 8pm or even later
When I am covering the earliest I would leave is 8pm
When I am on call I would leave the next day at 2pm
And I am on call like every 4th day

I like listening to music, it's my favourite thing to do, it's what I spend a lot of my time doing

[Opinion Owner]

I think you work too much, right? Can you send message to me? I have a plan for you.

[Asker]

It's not like I stay there purposefully
It's just how the job is, can't leave patients halfway and a lot of time we get emergencies on emergencies and we are short on staff so we have to help where we can

[Opinion Owner]

You can write to me anytime when you feel lonely. We can make a plan for you. So how was your day today?

[Asker]

Today was absolutely insane
The person who did night did not do anything so the morning shift had to sort everything out then I had theatre cases

It was busy

But as soon as I got done, I just wanted my person to hug him and talk to him and cuddle

I miss being held by someone

[Opinion Owner]

Who is that person? Let's continue in private message. Send me message in private.

You can talk away right here.

[Asker]

Thank you

In addition to feeling lonely, no matter how my day goes, good or bad
I want to talk to and hug my ex
I haven't seen him or spoken to him in like 3 years now, we aren't even on each others socials so any of those triggers aren't there

But everytime I am driving back home and am free, I just want him
It's so hard to be in love with someone I can never be with
I don't know how to get over this

[EmmaMary]

You obviously need to seek out having some form of counselling and therapy.

[Asker]

I did have therapy
It's helped me with self love but hasn't shaken off this feeling
