I'm feeling sad and a bit lonely tonight.

Post Reply New Topic

I don't understand why I feel this way, I was just with my friends today and had a pretty good time. I read a book, enjoyed it, and now I just feel weird. Sad and lonely, maybe a bit numb? I don't know what it's from, I've been stressed lately, but I've been relaxing this weekend. I'm trying to make time for myself, and I just feel cruddy anyways. I wish I was stressing out right now, because at least I know what I'm feeling then. I don't know what I'm feeling right now.

i've had that feeling often. don't like it much.
generally try to avoid it by inducing some feeling or other.
and it also seems to have a side effect of making me less aware of reality.
so jumping back into that and trying to be involved into something satisfyingly productive helps. or nice distractions like going to the movies.

I have had these "out of sorts" feelings. Try not to stress out.

Perhaps a bit of excersise will help (even if it is moving furniture around in your apartment/room). I was at a workshop run by an Occupational Therapist (he was presenting for parents of autistic kids). He advised that pushing or pulling heavy loads help regulate our over all senses. I read that you socialized with friends and you did some reading. Maybe you need some movement and excercise to balance it all out.

I don't know if my advice is applicable or helpful to you, but in any event - I know that I have had similar feelings as you.

Also, I don't know what part of the country you're in - but the days are getting shorter and there is a lot of heavy pressure systems moving about - this will make us less perky.

I am going through the same thing right now.

We all feel sad and lonely from time to time.

Everyone including NT's feel that way. Just "soldier on" and the mood will pass.

I know that feeling. I have a long and bitter history with it. There really isn't any obvious reason for it. But I've found that doing something constructive, giving yourself some sense of accomplishment, may help with that feeling. It's worked for me before.
