This is hitting me so hard that I can only read 2 paragraphs at a time and then I need to take a break. I am so lonely. My husband never stopped working out of the home and the kids have been back at school since January. I am working from home and I have a text group of coworkers that gives me life. And I am still lonely. And planning social interaction feels like so much work.

I love every bit of this. And yet, as a person often reciting the mantra of "You're not alone" to others, does it really help? I know others feel the way I do. It doesn't help. Most people don't have time to be any kind of community, online/social media doesn't really work for me, and I usually just kind of shrug and mutter, "Sucks to be us."
