I have lived alone for 9 yrs. I only have my mother to help me. She has helped me when my car broke down and I need a ride, took care of my animals when I was in the hospital and helped me clean my house. She may die this year and I do not know how I will get by without her. She is the only person I talk to on the phone. I think I might be completely alone soon. Who will be there to care about me the way she does? How can I be so alone in a world with millions of people ? My AS has led me to be very alone. I like living alone but I do not like not having anyone to help me out or care about me. I have thought about suicide when my mother dies because I just can not imagine how I will manage things completely alone. Is this a normal way to think in my situation?


I'm really sorry to hear about your mother. I hope she will be there for you for a long time to come. In the meantime, you know you'll never be truly alone. Firstly, you have Wrong Planet; and all of us here can share each other's load and support each other. :) But also, I don't know if you believe in God or not, but I do think that there is a helping hand in the universe who never leaves us completely alone. Somehow, some way people always find assistance when they need it.

You might find it helpful if you put a more specific location under your avatar; that way, if anyone here on WP lives near you, you could possibly get together? (Just a thought)
