What the hell, I've been very lucky enough to reach it this far so why not congratulate myself. 35 though...ouch...always thought I'd be happily remarried with some children by now, perhaps living in either the U.S or Canada while working in journalism/media. Trust cancer to get in the way of my...

Sorry if this sounds a bit morbid but I've just been diagnosed with Lung Cancer in addition to a second brain tumour (go me) and was wondering if anyone else on here is dealing with a similar illness in addition to lonliness. I find a big problem with a lot of cancer support sites is that...

Does anyone else do this? I overhear someone talking about a movie they would like to see and if I have it, I lend them my copy. The same goes for books or video games. If I see an offer for free newspapers on my way to work, I pick up copies for everyone in my office. If I go to make myself a...

...at least not a romantic one. Does that make me a minority here? Maybe it's my age (mid-thirties) but I've come to accept being single or at least, not looking for more. What makes me feel lonely though are the distinct lack of friends or family in my life. No birthdays, no holidays, no one...

My company hires over 3000 employees and, due to the increasing mental health problems amongst the workforce, is trying to address common issues and to give advice. This month the issue is loneliness and I was a tad apprehensive to see what my usually cold-hearted employers had to say about the...

So are there any other non-alcohol drinkers on the forum? It’s my office Christmas party tomorrow and I’m already expecting the usual rude remarks and judgemental comments!

Whilst walking home tonight I saw a homeless man begging outside a supermarket. Around my age, he looked cold, tired and hungry as he asked passing people if they had any change even though none responded. My first instinct was to help this man out somehow but then I got thinking... What if he...

So that difficult time of year is almost upon us and I’ve realised that what bugs me the most isn’t the lack of family, friends, expensive gifts or even chestnuts roasting over an open fire. What bugs me is that I like writing Christmas cards but I don’t have anyone to send them to hence this...

...please sort this madness out. [video=youtube] Thanks, Me

Have you ever been curious as to what your funeral would be like? What the people would say and how they would remember you? A few weeks ago I got to experience something similar. After transferring to a new department at work I had to return to my old department to pick up some files I had...

With the Jubilee (almost) over and the Olympics about to start is anyone else getting a little tired of the whole affair? While on one hand it’s nice to see the UK proud about something another part of me considers it a farce. The media, in particular the BBC, are forcing a desperate sense of...

I’m alone but not always lonely. I could easily answer “all the time” or “everywhere” but that would be a lie so I’ve spent the past couple of days thinking about when or where my loneliness triggers the most. I’m fine at home for the most part; I can attribute any sense of loneliness to my...

I dare you to watch it till the end :( [video=youtube]

I’m not sure if this has been asked before but has anyone just told other people about their loneliness? And I don’t mean people on here (that would be obvious) but people who you don’t perceive as being lonely themselves like your family, co-workers, friends etc? I’m curious because in this...

I know I’m not the only Mass Effect fan on here, it’s a phenomenal series of games set within a beautifully deep and enticing universe and with all the controversy of the Mass Effect 3 ending I think now would be an interesting time to share our thoughts. As a kid I grew up reading Amazing...
