Living with Loneliness

Loneliness is one of the deepest of all our emotions. It’s right down there with feelings of worthlessness that create a hollow feeling inside. It’s a dreadful feeling. Even if you’re not feeling lonely now, I know you’ve been there. We all have – often.

The next step down from loneliness is hopelessness and despair and the feeling that life has no meaning. This is a dark place to be.

Is this something I should be talking about with Valentines Day just around the corner? However, if you’ve got something planned you’ll probably not be reading this. But, if you’re lonely right now – then this is something that is uppermost in your mind.

How do you Feel?

If you know me, then you know how often I ask “How do you feel”?

And if you’re feeling lonely right now, I’d ask you “How do you feel“?  I’d expect you to  say “Lonely.  I’m very  lonely”!

Your overwhelming feeling is that of sadness!

Dreadful State

Loneliness is a dreadful state. It’s one of the deepest states of despair and depression.  

We’re really just like bees. We like to live in a community; we constantly seek a sense of belonging and that one special relationship is so important to us.

There’s a common saying ‘no man is an island unto himself’.  We really do hate being alone.  It makes us sad and accentuates of feelings of worthlessness.

We need to be loved and we want to share our love with others. Being alone is foreign to us.

A True and Happy Story ...which could Help You!

I was holding a small Bach Flower afternoon workshop on Anxiety and Depression. Sue decided to come to the workshop as she wanted to be with people who were feeling like her. 

Her husband had died 10 months previously and she couldn’t get over it and was depressed. She said more than once how lonely she was and how the house was empty.    

What happened next was a surprise to her.

I’ll let Sue tell you herself...

Star of Bethlehem

The remedy: Star of Bethlehem brought about this amazing change.  Although Sue was depressed because she was still grieving for her lost husband and she was lonely! She was sad – very sad indeed.
This wonderful remedy is for shock and trauma and grief. And you can see how quickly it acts.

Star of Bethlehem is included in Rescue Remedy. So, when you’re lonely put 2 drops of Rescue Remedy into a glass of water and sip it frequently. 

Here are six Bach Remedies for Loneliness.

• Star of Bethlehem is for sadness and crisis. 
• Heather helps us connect to others.
• White Chestnut stops the merry-go-round of your thoughts going around and around. 
• Sweet Chestnut is for a deep state of despair that I mentioned earlier.
• Mimulus is to heal your anxieties
• Larch for self confidence
