Overwhelming feeling of loneliness...?

Question

I usually wake up due to an overwhelming feeling of loneliness, so I usually only sleep 3-4 hours a night. Its been going on all my life, but its gotten worse since my boyfriend dumped me. I usually got lonely and thought "well, at least he loves me." But now I don't even have that to fall back on. My friends don't know about this. They think I'm just a night-owl or an insomniac. They make fun of 'emo' kids and I fear that they'll make fun of me if I even bring it up.

I usually fall asleep daytime at my house, my uncle and my grandfather are up, and I hear their voices in my sleep (we are a loud family) and I'll sleep all day, just as long as I hear someone (that isn't the television) talking and moving around.

Is there a name for this? Is it depression? I don't feel depressed... just very lonely. Is this normal?

Edit: I do hang out with my friends, but even when I do i feel this way.

Answer 1

it could be a form of depression, talk to your doctor about it see what he says...

Perhaps you are a loner, as I am a bit like that and the best way I found to deal with it is accepting yourself the way you are and not to be embarrassed about to say it to people if you need to,
I used to fear people will think that I am sad, miserable etc.. but now I just say I am a bit like this and don't care about what you think of me..

If you do accept yourself the way you are and do not be afraid how you may be feeling when you wake up, you will sleep well and be a happier person..

But first please speak to your doctor about it to see if nothing else is causing your problem..

Answer 2

I can understand, what an agony when your beloved dumps you. Try to know the reason for your boy friend dumping you. Try to reconcile and patchup with him. If still your boy friend is not receiptive, then determine yourself to be happy. Do things what you enjoy. Make some effort to cheer yourself. Every phase of life passes like a cloud, little late or early. Your intelligency and patience will make you successful.

Answer 3

Loneliness is a very hard emotion to endure|

I think that what you are doing right now (with the odd sleep patterns and that) is that your whole system is making a life adjustment|

That will soon pass, as well as the painful emotions|

Then you will see clearly as to what is to be done in your life as far as things and relationships go|

Check out if you are having trouble adapting to a new social atmosphere... Observe your bodily, emotional and mental reactions... First you shall be able to describe what you are really going through and finding hard to do... Naming is the easier part...

cheers...
