Feeling lonely …

Well today, I physically feel better. (After the neck/back pain issues) But emotional roller coaster it is. I’m sad but I’m not sad. I’m proud and happy. I feel lonely. The kids left me today, tonight. So that’s why. Just ugh has me all in my thoughts. I definitely considered who cares I’ll just have a couple drinks. I didn’t though. I made it through. It’s still meddling in my head but I’m through the hard part of almost saying fuck it. I feel excited and scared. On a positive note I’m sober I can go get my son after his b day party. Safely, no drama finding someone to do it. :clap:t2: yay me. I just don’t feel accomplished enough at the moment. I’m not used to not doing a million things but clearly my body is like I have to. Without my boyfriend I’m tryin to keep my mind busy. Before I could vent to him or text him. Now I’m like :face_with_peeking_eye::pleading_face: damnit. One day my kids are going to be older and it’s going to always be like this. Lonely :weary: I have to find a career study quickly. I really want to focus on my nursing degree. So I can be a nurse at a school district or something with kids and decent hours. That’s the plan so far… okay I think I’m done. Thanks for reading if u made it this far 🫶🏻 :people_hugging:

Oh thats exciting you are pursuing nursing! Having a goal will help and you’ll be too busy to be lonely!

Be wary of using absolute words like always and never. You just got out of a relationship. It doesnt mean you will be alone forever.

Breathe.

If u just keep a positive attitude you will go far. I wish u all the luck u need. Yeah. I’m never alone I’m always with my kids. Tonight I had a bit of probably much needed alone time. Just not used to it. Had me overthinking and feeling in my feels. I still feel that way. I am laying down now. Watching a movie. Browsing. Just guess everything is kinda kicking in. Just all of it. Wooo saaa :woman_in_lotus_position:t3: lol :joy: :people_hugging: at least we have each other here. To just kinda let it out.

Thank u , yeah I can imagine it’s a common thing. Especially if u are single and going through healing and staying sober. Thank u for all the thoughts. It truly helps just knowing someone understands and is relating.
