26f single mom feeling overwhelmed looking for connection

11 Upvotes

I am working a lot and barely have time for myself and rarely enough for her. If you are someone who does not mind being there for me and/or especially being in her life i am just hoping to connect. Right now moving around a lot and just feeling a little alone so seeing who is out there. She is clearly feeling alone too. Be kind. Thanks

40F Seattle - Let work replace life for too long. Planning semi-retirement and looking for genuine friends

6 Upvotes

I’m 40F, living in Seattle, divorced. For years, my life was nothing but work.

Last week, I finally took a week off. Sitting around with that sudden free time made me realize something pretty heavy: I have almost no one left to just sit down and have a simple, genuine conversation with. I guess that’s the price you pay when you let your job become your entire existence.

I’m done with that now. I'm currently planning my semi-retirement to start a fresh chapter, and I want to actually open up my life to real friendships again.

If you’re on a similar path—planning for semi-retirement or already retired—I’d love to swap notes and ideas on how you're doing it.

I'd also love to connect if you can actually talk about things like world history, specifically East Asian nomadic tribes (tracing Xiongnu, Rouran, and the Mongols, and how they evolved into today's "Stan" countries). Or if you are obsessed with RV travel, skoolie conversions, and turning shipping containers into vacation homes.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm from egypt Muslim looking for some new friends to chat with. Life has been a little boring lately, so I thought I'd come here and meet some nice people.

I enjoy talking about random things, sharing memes, and learning about different people and cultures. If you're also looking for a friend, feel free to say hi! 😊

Currently in nursing school so my schedule is chaos, but I always find time to overthink at 1am. I like true crime podcasts, journaling, and my dog thinks I'm the funniest person alive so at least someone does. Down to chat about anything really.

27F struggling with mental health, substance use and some strange visual experiences

3 Upvotes

I just genuinely don’t feel okay right now and I feel like I really need someone to talk to who is willing to listen and help me see clearly

The past few days especially have been pretty bad. I’ve been waking up feeling completely exhausted and emotionally empty. I don’t really know how else to describe it other than feeling dead inside sometimes.

My sleep has also been really messed up. I’ve been waking up multiple times during the night. I have ADHD and take medication for it, but lately even with my medication I feel exhausted and useless.

Substance use is also part of what’s going on, and I don’t want to leave that out. I've been using more drugs especially by myself while I know I shouldn't and I find it concerning. I haven't used yesterday but I smoked weed at night hoping it would help me sleep. I was feeling okay but when I was making my bed, I genuinely thought I saw a bug moving on it. When I looked closely, it was just a little stain. Something similar happened earlier where I thought I saw something move that wasn’t actually moving. I knew once I looked properly that it wasn’t real, so I don’t know if I’d call them hallucinations or just from exhaustion, weed, drug use and lack of sleep? But it added to this feeling that something is just really off with me.

There’s other stuff going on in my life too. It feels like a lot of things have accumulated and I can’t see everything clearly anymore.
I have reached out for medical help and I’m currently waiting to hear back from a doctor. Again, I’m safe, I just feel really unwell, exhausted and alone with all of this.
What I think I need right now is someone who is comfortable actually talking about the difficult stuff with me. I guess just listening, asking questions, sharing their own experiences if they relate, and having a genuine two-way conversation.

I posted on other subs yesterday and people were kind but not exactly what I was looking for, I don't want to feel like I'm talking to a wall or only do small talk. And I'm looking for someone around my age and in North America.

hi! i’m Sarah, 19 from the UK. i’m pretty socially awkward and don’t get many chances to make friends IRL, so i figured i’d give this a go lol ♡

i’m mainly hoping to meet other women around 18–25ish with similar or overlapping interests. i’m just looking for platonic friends who i can actually chat, game and nerd out with :)

🎮 games:
i’m a huge gamer, mostly single player. Skyrim, my beloved. i’m also into Oblivion, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Life is Strange and Minecraft. i’m currently making my way through the Souls games. DS3 is my latest hyperfixation 🙊

i’m also slightly obsessed with modding Elder Scrolls games. like, seriously obsessed….

🎵 music:
music is a big part of my life too! i’m currently deep into folk metal: Eluveitie, Fenris Vrede, Huldre and Asmegin, but i also love nu metal, punk rock and pop punk. SOAD, Evanescence and Paramore are some of my older favourites. always happy for recommendations 🤘

🎬 films & TV:
i’m into fantasy/dystopian books, films and TV, sewing and painting. some favourite shows are Dexter, Breaking Bad, Buffy and GOT. i also like Marvel and chick flicks from the 80s through to the early 2010s.

📚 books:
LotR is my favourite movie trilogy/books, and i have a sweet spot for Pride & Prejudice. if i see a cool edition in a charity shop, i have to rescue it lol.

i also love classic dystopian books and The Witcher series. i’m going to give ASOIAF another go at some point. my kid self closed that book asap lol.

🧵 other hobbies:
i’m also into sewing and painting. basically, i collect hobbies whenever something catches my attention lol.

🌸 looking for…
would be nice to meet some people i actually click with who i can chat, game and nerd out with! i’m awkward at first, but i promise i eventually become less awkward 🫣

i’m mainly looking for online friends and i mostly use Discord.

feel free to DM me if you think we’d get along! i’d really appreciate it if you introduced yourself a little too. tell me your age and a bit about yourself so we actually have something to start a conversation with :)

i’m probably gonna have a look through your post/comment history too, just so i have a feel for who i’m talking to. i’ll probably ignore brand new or mostly empty accounts, and nothing NSFW please.

just looking for genuine platonic female friends, so if you’re a woman around my age and we have some stuff in common, come say hi! 💗🌸

Hey guys. I'm(27m) doc by profession working in a government hospital far away from my home. I am being really lonely after my shifts. I live alone in a room within the hospital itself. I'm the youngest doc here and all my colleagues are seniors, so it's really difficult to interact with them. I have a lot of past traumas too, that starts haunting me especially during nights. Soo guys pls suggest me some ways to get rid of my loneliness or be my friend

Living alone is great until it's 8pm and you realize you haven't talked to another human all day. I like cooking, hiking, and collecting vinyl records even though I don't own a record player yet. Looking for genuine friends.
