i have been stuck in isolation nearly over 10 years now and I am breaking down. I don’t want to be here anymore and am just reaching out to anyone who reads this. I thought I was stronger than I am and I now see I am lonely and feel my life has been wasted.
I live in a cluttered apartment full of things that I thrifted trying to fill the void of having nobody in my life. I thought by not forming attachments I would be less affected by things and be more able to move forward but I long for friends and laughter and a new lease on life. Everyday I wake up surrounded by all this stuff I just want to go back to sleep and dream it away.The kitchen table I was so excited to get hoping to have memories of dinner parties and laughter has not been used more than a few handful of times. My apartment has become a living tomb.
I know it is up to only me to get out. I never pursued acting as that was my passion and now after watching too many Netflix shows my passion is reignited and I want to move somewhere and start over maybe start to build community in the commmunity but I don’t know if it is too late for me. I also think I want to have a family of my own and at 36 I wonder if that is in the cards. Maybe I was not made to live this long? I don’t know. I thank you to everyone I have talked to in the past nearly decade on this. IP: Logged |

Hi LunarLove,
I'm 38 and pursuing my acting career. It has given me so much joy. I encourage to take small steps and research if there are any community schools in your area that are offering acting classes. Look online to see if there are online programs.
Just having a small network of people to talk to is important, and I have found that my acting classes have given me this. I feel where you are coming from. I moved to LA with no friends, and Covid made it worse. It has taken me almost two years to make a few friends. Please do not give me. Find places to volunteer like a pet adoption, or check your local town to ask about volunteer at shelters or whatever they have. You have to take these steps to meet people, and ask for help which you are doing by posting here, and it's great. Now take the time to do the same with people in real life. IP: Logged |

Thank you Saille! I appreciate your words and message. Very inspiring to hear your story.
I know posting on internet for help or guidance seems low to some people but it is only because I e been here so long and trust this forum; when I’ve tried in “real world” doesn’t work out well. But volunteering is something I do and will always do. I am looking for jobs now too even just a cafe job somewhere different than where I live so I can be in new environ and have some change for challenge and to motivate.
I will take a musical theatre class I think which I am nervous about but am drawn to bc life too short.
I wish you all the best in LA maybe one day I’ll go down there myself ❤️❤️❤️IP: Logged |
