Craving deep connections and struggling with loneliness

Hi community, 

 

I'm here because I am feeling like I'm not getting what I need in my close relationships, and the loneliness I'm experiencing is having a profound effect on my well-being. 

 

It's triggering depression and anxiety and I'm overeating and feeling lethargic and unmotivated as a result. 

 

What I want more than anything is to be seen, heard and appreciated for being me. I particularly want to be seen and celebrated for being a woman - for the beauty that I bring to the world in just being me. 

 

I often feel like a commodity that is criticised if I'm not who others want me and that my value is being measured on a tally of 'assets and liabilities' 

 

I'm starting to feel like no matter what I do I'm not really seen. 

 

I NEED to meet like minded people that share my love of deep and meaningful conversation.  

 

Not really sure where to start or how to seek support in this.  

 

So I thought sharing myself here might be a good first step...
