Lonely Loneliness

A Midnight Stroll

Question:

I really can’t offer any advice to you, but I can say I know how you’re feeling. Most of the time, I’ll feel I’ll be suffocated if I stay in my house. I’m constantly going out, to sit in some diner or on the campus of the university I used to attend or a bookstore even though I have no $ to buy anything. I feel like such a has-been sometimes, but I need to get out! Hang in there, okay? Mary

Response:

And there isn’t anywhere to go once I get ouside, anyway.  How does everyone else deal with this feeling of suffocation and loneliness?  It’s making me SO

I just grit my teeth and bear it. Like being in a sweat lodge and not knowing if you’re going to suffocate from the smoke or go hyperthermic from the heat. Or being on a road a thousand miles from anywhere known with nothing on the radio and no one else in the car. It’s just what is happening and the time is going by, ever so slowly but it is going by. Those feelings can’t kill you. All you have to do to win is survive. And that is what happens anyway. — bev . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://members.tripod.com/~Veb

I kinda need to get out of the house, except it’s about 12:15AM right now.  My brother will be downstairs watching TV so it’s not like I can go out without being noticed.  I am trapped here in my room…alone.  And I’ve had enough.  A part of me just wants to lay down and sleep forever, whilst the other part needs to get out the house, clear everything in front of me, just to get some damn SPACE for once.  It’s like everything is so overcrowded, I am suffocating, I can’t stand it anymore.  But what can I do???  Not a damn lot, that’s the answer.  Go and take a walk outside, except it’ll be cold because the weather in England this summer has been so shitty you’d have to be here to believe it. And there isn’t anywhere to go once I get ouside, anyway.  How does everyone else deal with this feeling of suffocation and loneliness?  It’s making me SO tense..like I am going to explode.  I wish I had the house to myself.  =(   Matt…  needing a hug right now and, for once, a shoulder to cry on.
