Loneliness still affects me

[Mary Terry]

You could practice conversation.

Playing games that involve talking with people is one way to practice.

There are so many threads here that @Markness can participate in on a conversational level. This is a good place to practice how to converse.

@Markness - can you chose one thread per day, and post a response, a question, a suggestion or anything else to "keep the thread conversation" going? Interact with us!

I've never thought it hurts to "script" a potential conversation. Not to memorize lines per se, but simply to outline what I might say when there's something important to be said. Or to use in case the conversation goes quiet.

We are responsible for Markness wellbeing, Society is, me personally just can't take care of everyone.

So at some point one grows and start doing things and helping.

I still struggle with thoughts of uncertainty and wondering if my life can or will get better. It doesn’t help that some plans I had for this year got scrapped. Social opportunities seem to diminish for me.

Uncertainty is a dangerous enemy of the mind. It has done harm to my evolution too. But the only way to defuse uncertain thoughts is to find the will to do it anyway. KNOW you have enough in you to at least try to do your best. One cannot determine success or failure, through a thought. Only our actions can determine that.

Though our thoughts can and will affect our actions. Uncertainty will create physical reactions that express that uncertainty.

"Is this as bad as I am making it?"

You don't know till you try.

Edit: I'd like to clarify that uncertainty isn't always a bad thing. If you are uncertain in situations that you know nothing about, that is understandable and not a bad thing.

But in the case of something, like talking with someone. We know what to do, even if it's a struggle. It's just a matter of finding the courage to tell yourself; "This is scary, but I want to try anyway."

My therapy appointment today didn’t go the way I hoped it would go.

Loneliness is a very serious issue when it comes to the state of a persons mental health. In extreme cases, loneliness can kill, i.e - self deletion.

I hope you find a way out of your persistent loneliness, Markness.

Thank you. I just wonder why I can’t seem to find a way out.

Thank you. I just wonder why I can’t seem to find a way out.

I don't know?

Only you can figure things out, truly, however long that may take.

What were you hoping for?

 

[Markness]

What were you hoping for?

I was hoping for some more in-depth answers to my current struggles and I found it difficult to explain why to my therapist that even if my supervisor gives me time off, I won’t be able to attend San Japan. It’s possible my pass has been refunded or not depending on if the ticket website decides if the reason for me requesting a refund is covered or not. My friend has also ruled me out from going because he thinks I didn’t plan properly and my supervisor didn’t work with me fast enough.

Answers?

I think when you hear an *answer* you reject it
after a trial or two because it didn't move you to
a perfect solution.

What say so does the friend have regarding whether
or not you attend an event?

There is no perfect answer.

There is only so much therapist can do. The large amount of the work has to come from you. The best you'll get, is suggestions. Not to say that you'll not get understanding. But no one will have the same exact struggles, to the t, that another person will have. They can be similar.

As far as the event. Life happens. People are people.
