-- Posted by Anonymous at 8:48 am on July 2, 2008 I feel so alone today. My Mom died a bit over a year ago and I was thinking of her when in my living room this morning. My Dad was outside so I was alone (no siblings) and my cat was in another. Even when my Dad came in and I hugged him I felt alone. I think he may feel the same way too at times. I have hardly any friends anymore from losing touch with them and trying to reconnect but they don't want to. I have no place to go get new friends except church at the moment. I don't have a job now is one reason, not into clubs or bars. So I am alone in a physical sense. I felt a bit better when my Dad came in and my cat was around too.   Not having a job makes me feel really bad too. I look and look. I got called back today about a job I had applied to and was asked some questions and the woman said she would discuss my application with someone else to see if I can proceed in the hiring process. I don't like how I would have to be available any time to work but I need a job. I would do it and like my Dad says, it would just be for maybe 6 months and not my entire life. I didn't do any retail work before so may be doing it now, have to start some where with a job. I am sad over being alone too much and not having a job. May I have some encouragement? -- Posted by Natsy at 8:50 am on July 2, 2008 yes you may, in the form of martini! best drink ever!

But I have no doubt that you'll get through this at some point. You just need someone to care.
