Tracey,

I just wanted to let you know I struggle with the same thing. I work every day to comfort myself, to feed myself, but I still find it a struggle. I don’t know if it is easy for anyone, but if you struggle with depression and anxiety as I do, I think it is a tougher battle.

I will not give you advice. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone with feeling alone. I personally have no family, and because of a number of personal traumas in my childhood and adult life, I find I am afraid of people. I also think we are social animals, and we all need a bit of “humanness” in our lives.

Just again wanted to let you know you are not the only one who aches for comfort, and when you were never given that or taught that, it is hard to learn.

Take good care!
