Hi Leads
I'm feeling lonely today too. Not a nice feeling is it? I'm also in my 40's but live on the west coast. Is there anything that you want to talk about? I'm happy to listen. I spent 6 months in QLD - you're right, it is beautiful 🙂

Hi Leads,
It's very nice to meet you! I'm sorry to hear that you have been going through a tough time though.
I have never been to Queensland but I do want to go - you are right it does look beautiful!
Same as Katy - I'm happy to listen and have a chat!

Dear Leads (with a wave to Katy)~
Regrets are sometimes from decisions and actions we have taken, other times they are due to others or circumstances. It can be hard at times to know if you made a decision you now regret if in fact it was right or wrong. Rights ones can hurt as much as wrong -sometimes more.
I do not know your circumstances other than you are a 42 year old female by herself in hot weather. You have my sympathies about the weather, as a policeman I had to wear a suit and tie no matter what, it was highly unpleasant and now I've moved to a (relatively) cool state -a good move (sorry for the pun)
Regrets can inspire action, being by yourself can you take steps to start new friendships and social life? I remarried to my wife in middle age and we are still in love 20+ years later.
I'm only guessing and there is not much point to that -more likely to annoy if I keep trying. If you would like to say a little more that might help both of us and Katy (plus her robust hamster- sorry Katy).
It does not matter if it was the law, children, relationships, employment or physical injury - or anything, you can talk with us here as little or as much as you might like and we will have understanding and not judge. Instead we would try to help, there is a lot of experience here in the Forum
I hope to hear from you again

Hi Leads, welcome.
I'm very sorry that you're so lonely, I am too. I think others will relate to you also. We're here for you. I know it's not the same as people in person, but sometimes it's better having people online to talk and relate to.

I live in a small town too, and I love it here. I would hate to be back in the city again, I only go to visit family and that's every few years or so. I hate hot weather too, though it isn't so bad where I'm at. I find that hot weather tends to make me feel worse, because I have no energy to do things so I have more time to think.
I hope you can find some things that you enjoy doing, I play the piano and sing and I love to read, these are good distractions.

You are, l am and many others on here are lonely, so please don't think you are on your own.
I'm 60 and still have trouble, since being on here and talking to so many lovely people it's really helping.
I'm pushing myself everyday to go out and do something, and am trying atm to find a group or volunteer position l can do.
Take care
