People living life one day at a time have periods in their lives when they feel dismally alone. It’s reality. The paradox of such reality is often we need time to be alone for self-reflection and self-care to deal with the adversities of feeling dismally alone. Sometimes even those of us who are introverted people struggle when we feel too alone. We all need to feel in connection somehow or someway to someone or something to feel that we belong. Without such belonging despair and depression are knocking at our door. For some of us this is the reality of being human. Self-reflection and self-care can give us the resilience to reach out and be in community with others. No-one needs to face life alone. Many of us receive or have received professional treatment to help us. We need not be afraid to seek such treatment. Participate in recovery. Peace.
