Feeling alone in the world

You know, this feeling that everything happens at the same time, that life is all over you, and you can't do anything about it? That moment when you feel like your world is falling apart, and at the slightest hint of light at the end of the tunnel, another stone falls on your head?

Departures, do you want, here and there

Three months ago, I was telling you that my boyfriend left me after four and a half years of a relationship. A shock that was hard to swallow and accept at once, but I managed to do it. However, I still felt alone in my big 5 1 / 2 with my three cats, so I was doing everything I could to take care of myself and get out of my house.

In addition to feeling lonely at home, I also felt lonely at work.

Being empathetic and emotional is not always a good mix.

Even if situations do not concern me directly, often they still affect me. As I was already emotionally fragile because of my breakup, knowing that people I loved were hurting me even more, in addition to my friend's breakup that brought some things back into me that I've been trying to bury for some time. I'm a little bit more sensitive in my life, and I'm living a little bit of pain with the departures-permanent or temporary-and the changes. As I was already emotionally fragile because of my breakup, knowing that people I loved were hurting me even more, in addition to the breakup of my friend that brought up some things in me that I've been trying to bury for some time.

No matter how busy I was to forget my new situation, at some point, life is back to what it was. I had to deal with all those departures for real. There, I had a slight breakdown. I was crying for nothing and at any time, I had panic attacks, which never happened to me, and I felt terribly bad about myself. That's when I felt even more lonely.

Loneliness, when you hold us

Loneliness sometimes weighs. And it was at that very moment that I realized it the most. I Don't have a lot of friends in life, and in general, I live very well with that. I have good friends, and for me, that's the important thing. I mostly have two friends in particular that I turn to when things go wrong, but unfortunately, when I needed them a few weeks ago, they were, respectively, in pain of love and a new mother of a little girl of a few days old. The first one had her own emotions to deal with, and the second had a baby to take care of.

At that very moment, I've never felt so lonely in my entire life. I was Tom Hanks on cast away, nothing less. I felt like I was drifting away, I felt like everyone had left me.

I have three cats, but ironically, it is when I feel like shit that they decide to leave me alone … # Lesschatsontingrats

Take time for me

When I get out of my routine and comfort, panic takes over me quite easily, sometimes for no logical reason. My emotions take over, and it's only after my brain decides to interfere and rationalize. It's not the ideal order, but it's okay. So after a few days of breakdown, finally, I started to put the situation in perspective.

Among other things, I realized that it was finally time to take care of me, for real. To think about me, and just me. I've changed my way of life, and now I feel better both physically and mentally.

Finally a positive start! In the last few months, my life has turned 180 degrees that I never thought possible. If, three months ago, you had told me that I would come to practice 30 minutes a day without exception, and above all, that I would follow a diet plan, I would have laughed, but I do. In addition to feeling better in my body, I feel much better in my head. Add to that that I see my family, and especially my best friend, more often than ever and that I go out about every week, and you have a new me in front of you. I can honestly say that I've never been happier and happier in my whole life.

Over time, I realized that taking care of yourself is essential. I realized that I had forgotten myself for too long and that it was only by taking care of myself that I could end up being good, if not better, in my skin and in my life in general. Do I still feel lonely sometimes? Well, yeah. I can't say these last 3 months are definitely behind me, but I'm definitely on the right track and it feels good!
