Is there anyone out there that feels as lonely as i do? Due to the job I do I have sustained a lot of stress and as a result I have lost most if not all of my friendships. I feel upset that I don't have any females friends who I can chill with and talk about stuff with. I want to know if I am the only other female feeling this way.
Additional info, added Monday April 16 2012, 11:31 am: Male or female I don't mind. I just think it is time I started to enjoy life.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? Horselover21 answered Monday April 16 2012, 10:33 pm: Hey! I have 2 BBFs right now but they arent the type you can just sit and talk about life with, I need a friend like the kind you want too. Lots of people do and if you ever need to speak to someone just inbox me. I don't mind. Can you find a friend within your job? They may have a similar schedule as you and you'll get each other's busy life. Maybe you could get the word out that your hosting a party at your house and meet some people there. I am just starting to enjoy life and it's great. I hope you get to discover the same feeling soon. :D [ Horselover21's advice column | Ask Horselover21 A Question ]

You are not alone. Everyone feels lonely from time to time. It's only natural. I currently feel the same way as you do. All my friends left for college last September while I decided to take a year out.They have since moved on and made new friends. I still talk to them via twitter text and facebook and we meet up from time to time but it's not the same.
I sometimes feel isolated during the week until the weekends when I have the possibility of seeing them.
Maybe you need to consider the benefits of this job. Is all the stress really worth it?Especially if it's making you lose your friendships. It's not healthy for one to be consumed with work and in the meantime become cut off from almost everyone around them.
I know you need your job. Especially in the current economic state,but is there any way you could possibly reconnect with your old friends?
Organize to see them again explain the pressure and stress you felt due to your workload? surely they are bound to understand. It happens to the best of us.
Also why don't you try doing some things to relieve stress?reading walking,listening to music,baking,yoga,shopping among the endless possibilities. you need to make time for yourself and your relationships. If your job is preventing it I would consider looking for a new one or speaking to your boss about reducing your work load perhaps. Friends are really the greatest de-stressers. If you don't have them you're just going to become more stressed.
If re connecting with your old friends isn't an option why not try and make some new ones?
Take up a new hobby? or night course.
Something to get you socializing.
good luck and I hope I helped.
If you ever need someone to talk to my inbox is always open.
Much <3
