I have been here before, and we are doing better, but I am feeling alone in alot of ways. He, my husband, hardly ever talks, doesn't touch me, comes to bed way after I fall asleep, etc. I go to work, come home and tend to daily things and then there pops up a day or incident that makes me blow up about feeling alone and doing it all. Yes, there are support groups, but they meet while I am at work. I cannot attend them. I do have a group, but how do you tend to your own self and not feel alone????? I get out, garden, tend to a dog, have friends, but at home-----?????
My husband, also my soul mate, is my best friend but over the last few years sometimes I've thought "he just doesn't care
The most important thing for me is that I have a life of my own. I take time in the morning and evening to pray or meditate or walk in nature. There I feel a different aloneness like being a kid in a homemade tent or playing make believe, I experience life in a new way.
There are so many ways to nurture ourselves. What do you do Ms Tish that gives you the most joy? If no thought comes to mind, what do you imagine you would like to do or experience in your lifetime?

I am wondering if you are a caregiver to your husband or parent. I'm thinking you are talking about your husband? Sounds like counseling would be good. Does husband know how alone you feel? Can he or has he done anything to help? I know that even though my husband does try I still feel alone sometimes. That is just the way it is. I do get counseling. Sometimes I have my down days and it is hard. I take antidepressant med but a low dose. Will increase it in future. I have learned that the loniness is a part of me. Sadness, depression runs in my family. Plus I lost my son almost 3 years ago. I wish you luck and the best in finding your way to more hapiness and less lonliness.
