I chose isolation as a coping mechanism for CPTSD as a kid and now at 60 I've really gotten myself in a jam. It's just me and it hurts like hell. Family barely connect with , do not regularly connect with anyone and too scared to reach out as the depression and anxiety are so bad that I cannot put this on other eg people on a regular basis . I just hope I can get myself out of this because there isnt anyone else to do it. I am also worried that God will make me love this life over because clearly I didn't learn what I was supposed to and I just can't do this again. I want to connect with the other side for some comfort and of course I feel blocked . I just wonder if anyone else could possibly be in this position as well. Seems like everyone has people they speak to every day or almost every day and I can't imagine going on like this for another decade or two. Each day is brutal. Thanks for listening
Hello. I just wanted to reach out with a hug for you as I sometimes feel this way. Circumstances forced me to move away from everything familiar to me and then almost immediately I became ill. Then got covid 3 years ago and stuck at home, often isolated for fear of new infections and even longer recovery times. I found a few things helped me and I wondered if I could offer them to you - maybe they could ease your pain a bit as well. Every morning I do one of Dr Clare’s meditations and towards the end, I cross my arms over the front of me and hug myself gently with hands cupping the tops of my arms. I hug myself softly, the way a mother hugs a baby and it gives me the feeling of being nurtured which feels healing. I run my hand up and down my opposite arm gently - like soothing a restless baby and the stroked arm lays soft, receiving the comfort. Squeeze softly. Swap to the other arm. I also pray and talk to God, a god who understands pain and rejection and He will never reject you because of pain you’ve suffered previously. God has a never ending source of compassion and forgiveness, which is hard for us to comprehend because we always run out of compassion. Please be compassionate to yourself and know that many people are feeling this way too. I also write down each night, what I’ve done that day, in a journal. I’ve done this for twenty years and it really helps unburden myself at the end of the day. It’s a quiet time and an off-loading time. I don’t write anything remarkable, but I’ve discovered that it’s just the action of putting it on paper that is helpful. I do hope that somehow you can learn to be gentle and forgiving to yourself. And that maybe a little of the Springtime warmth can encourage buds of self care, into blossoms of kindness and love for yourself. Do take care x
Please make more meditation like these...sometimes i feel this inner void which cant be filled with anything.. could u please make a meditation helping this?
I love your channel and I liked all of your other meditations. I return to you regularly. Unfortunately, this meditation has made me really sad and I wasn't able to finish it.

I feel the same way, and I am 59. I'm going through almost exactly the same as you are and feel the same way. I pray for us both
Same here....
Sometimes i think we make a group of such people.....just to listen one another
