Feel like I've lost something

Hi everyone

I feel so alone and feel that I need a hug. I want to feel someone put their arms around me and tell me it's okay and that I will be alright. Things will work out.

Sorry, this is how I feel at the moment, sad, depressed, lonely and needing a hug

I would do all of those things if I could be there with you right now.

Thinking of you,

Thank you GA

I know you are struggling as well but you always come on here and give me some support.

Thanks for listening. Why is it so damn hard to ask my husband for a hug? We've been married for 28 yrs and I can't even ask him for a hug, pretty bad isn't it?? I guess we have never been a "huggy couple" but now I need it and can't ask for it.

So many things wrong in my life, is it worth it

I am always here reading, my capacity for responding to threads just varies from day to day. With exception of when my internet goes down.

I could never ask anyone for a hug. We were'nt a huggy family, I distinctly remember a conversation in which I asked my sister why we didn't and that I didn't really feel loved. She asked if I wanted one right then. I said no. I wanted hugs, spontaneous touches of comfort to happen because the other person chose to, becuase they saw you were inpain and needed it, not because I asked for it.

But thats my little flashback for the day. Great dream fodder.

Maybe thats why I am so physically affectionate in my personal relationships. I figure the more I give, the more likely I am to get back. Selfish really.

There isalso so much rightwithyour life, Jo. You just can't feel or see that right now. Think of walks on the beach with Jersey.

Take care,
