Lonesome

How is everyone tonight? I have to admit something I don't normally even feel, but tonight I'm finding myself lonely. I'm not usually the lonesome type, but my little girl is gone with her dad over to his house, and it's real quiet here this evening.
I could have people over, but they'll just want to drink.
im pretty tired, and have veen real down in the dumps lately because of what's going on with my child's father, and his abuse and control over me. Maybe that's why I'm feeling this way tonight.
Anyway, I just thought I would come on here and say something.
Have a nice night.

Hi, WindPines.
When I get sad or anxious, I take several deep yoga breaths, maybe get some fresh air if possible.
I also tell myself that this will pass. All things do.

Sorry you are feeling down.

You could look at a little quiet time as a gift. Time for yourself. How about a hot soak in the tub, your favorite music, a cup of cocoa or herb tea? And relish the time to center yourself.

I live alone and live in a big sprawling city, so it's not always feasible to visit friends or have them over.
They'd mostly drink too so I'm not missing that.
I like being alone. Most of the time, anyway.
We're here for you.
It sure beats drinking.

Hope you find something to do tonight that helps with the loneliness WP
If nothing else you can hang out there

Maybe you can do something to spoil yourself a bit tonight. Is there a movie you've been wanting to watch or a book you're waiting to read? I hope you can enjoy your evening and the quiet time.

I spend a lot of evenings on my lonesome Windpines. I've come to enjoy them. Cook what I want, watch what I want. Do what I enjoy.
Ok, maybe its self indulgent.....but as a mom you deserve it.

Think of it as time for yourself, not lonesome time.....

Plan for these nights in the future. Why not start looking for something you can do for yourself. Are you interested in taking an art class? Interested in reading- join a book club, Join a church group. Buy one of those adult paint by number canvases. Do something for you. You deserve it. What do you like do?
