Have you ever felt truly alone? In what circumstance if any?
Post Body

As above. Im turning 30 this yr (no longer a spring chicken without a care), single (& not sure if I’ll ever find someone), & an only child. I have some really great friends but dont see them all the time (they’re busy with their lives or interstate or whatever) & I don’t think I could compare them to a sibling bond. I am lucky to have a really great relationship with my parents though. However, late twenties I realised when they go, I’m going to be truly alone. Sometimes when I’m not distracted by life & I’m by myself, I feel this intolerable void & almost get a panic attack thinking about when they die. So my question stands, have you ever felt that horrible feeling of being all alone? And if so what were the circumstances - if any.

It is a something I believe everyone feels at some point or another. I like you am an only child and I can tell you that loneliness goes hand in hand with depression and has been crippling and painful. I am a spiritual person and I have learned to look at life and death differently. Time isn’t linear and all you have is the current moment. Thinking about the inevitable pain for too long will cause panic attacks for sure. But I just snap out of it. Don’t dwell on it. It’s simply not something you can control sometimes. Be kind to yourself and don’t be afraid. Fear is more dangerous than loneliness.
