Lately, especially the last few days I have been feeling really disconnected from myself and others. It hasn't helped that myLot is either really slow like now, taking forever the pages to come up, not working at all or whatever the issue is. Not being able to myLot it really is making me feel disconnected. I also have been busy.
I don't have many outlets in life. Mostly just myLot and a few other sites. My sister has been visiting with the girls. That has helped to keep my mind busy and off of the rest of my annoyance. HOpefully by the time they leave myLot will be working more properly and not as slow as mollasses. I need to catch up on other sites too. Its so frustrating sometimes.

I only have mylot as an outlet. I am alone at work, not many patients drop by as tgphe doctor is abroad and cant do any check-ups. I ran away fom home too 2 days ago and its becoming stressful as i feel like I'm a single mom taking care of my brother. Dont feel sad, whatever it is were experiencing right now, it will pass, nothing is permanent and change will move at its own pace. Hopefully you get to do things you have to do anyway. Take care.

i saw that topic about your running away but due to glitches I did attempt to respond. You better get back and swallow your pride. a grandmother can never hate a grandchild no matter what. Just give her a nice hug. You choked me with those. Remember?
And as for myLot behaving odd. As I have said in my response above I have no issues. I have enough piled up that can keep me on my toes. You do likewise.

Ah, that disconnected feeling. I know what you mean. I have been there myself. That is a depression. I get like that at times. It seems I go in and out. I know how it feels when a site we use is slow, it does make us feel stranded. But we do also have to do other things in our life. I know I have been spending way too much time online as it is. I need to change that. I am not saying I will not stay online, I will, but I need to cut down on the amount of hours.

Well, I understand. The difference is I am inside due to depression. You are inside due to not being able to go out. But I feel for you. At least I live in the city and I can go to a store right across the street from me. But I know I have to get out more. I need to move around. And I also need to start losing some weight. A little at a time.

I too go in and out of thatfeeling.
Well I don't have much at all to do except be online especially now in the winter months here. I know it isn't healthy. There's just not alot I want to do or know what to do. I don't have a job nor friends to visit outside the internet. My family is far and I have no vehicle, the money I make here is not enough to go see them. They usually have to come see me. I know I'm in a bad situation but there's just not much I can do right now.

I hope we can both get out a bit more, I'm sure it will benefit us both. I could use a little weight loss myself to be honest. 1 person likes this

I am not really sure as to the exact feeling of being disconnected from yourself. I think though that sometimes I go through some stages or just that I don't understand myself and what I want in my life. This could be similar as to how you were feeling... but this is just a phase in our lives that we can always overcome.

Thank you echo... well yes i felt this many times in my life but often i am able to bounce back and just feel happy again that i am blessed still no matter how many things i think i do not have. Perhaps my success is different from others indeed but it is mine and i do not need to compare with others anymore and i know i can still be happy.
You too will be. Things sometimes makes us unhappy and events or happenings often disappoints us... just hang in there.

Our contentment is half the battle of being happy. If we're thankful for what we have, we will feel good about ourselves and our lives.

That's about right to me, feeling like you don't understand yourself or why you feel a certain way. You understand teh disconnect feeling just fine.

Sometimes I feel this is a blessing in disguise as I can attend to chores that pile up because of addiction to myLot!

We all get that feelings sometimes. Feeling disconnected is kinda depressing. It's only temporary, so as long as we are doing something to reconnect, it won't be a prob.

Well that's one benefit of the new site is to be connected with some of them. I don't have any new ways, trying to keep up with the one's I have. I think twitter banned me for posting too many bubblews links ROFL So now I am getting less views. I still have 8 and a half dollars to go and not getting views very much.

If you're posting other things than just that it is probably fine. I didn't bother to really post anything else. I had too much to do so I just did mostly bubblews and no other tweets ever.

I felt lost, too. I didn't want to make a discussion out of it coz I know that a lot would have done that. And so what i did was be busy with other stuff. Good thing is that it has come back to normal.

It kind of hovers around me just waiting to pounce. I don't like it but lately meditation has helped me somewhat.

Yeah i understand what you mean. Sometimes I feel like life can be so overwhelming and that there isn't enough time to get everything done. It is hard to be able to mylot when it isn't working and that is the time that we usually designate for posting and responding. Then it feels like our schedule has been changed upside down.

I think that is normal. I feel down, lonely and disconnected at times too. Luckily, you are able to log in the internet unlike me who can't be here in myLot like I used to!

Sorry to hear that, and I totally understand how you feel. I just moved into another country leaving behind my friends whom I always talk to about my problems and basically just to talk to about anything. Right now, I am still adjusting and since I am in another time zone, I can't even talk to them online. I am still struggling to adjust here and make friends.
I hope we get rid of this feeling soon.

Sorry to hear your situation as well. Moving is hard but out of country must be terribly hard. leaving behind family and friends and moving far away is a lot to adjust to. I hope you will feel btter and also make friends with tthe people around you. @mariaperalta (19073)
