I live in an apartment with my partner. But somehow I feel pretty lonely…
My family lives far away, and so does his family. But my mother or my siblings never have time for me. I have no friends and with the current situation… I couldn't meet them anyway. My friend deals a lot with his topics, we're currently always connected, but he is always busy differently. Especially with his cell phone or laptop.
Most of the time I keep what goes through my head to myself. I feel lonely and think a lot. Our apartment is small, for 3 years I have only been able to cook on a stove top. The big stove broke, the landlord and my boyfriend just don't care. The landlord had told my friend to choose one. But he just doesn't do it and has been for 3 years.
If I don't work, nothing works. And because I'm currently in a dark hole, almost nothing happens.
Do you know this feeling of loneliness even though one is not lonely? I'm already in therapy.
Yes, there can be 10 people around me and inside I'm somewhere else.
Being lonely and being alone are two different things. You can stand in a huge crowd and still be lonely.
Loneliness often arises because you lack a high-quality relationship with someone with whom you can share your deepest feelings / thoughts.
Have you ever talked to your boyfriend about how you feel and how you see everything?
I think it's good that you are in therapy and let help. Definitely stay tuned. Are you with a psychologist?
At the moment it's stupid with Corona, you can't do anything about it. Once that is under control and something can be done again, I would recommend engaging in some social activities. For example, a club would be good. There you can meet like-minded people and make friends.
