I feel so alone right now.  It isn't that Patrick isn't being a wonderful husband, I just feel like there is no one else.  My mom keeps telling me I will be so much better when I go back to school.  But....how will that fix me feeling alone?  I just miss having friends and I feel like I really have no family.  I know life has just taken us

When you get back to school you'll have some social time with grown ups and be able to change the pace of your life.

maybe
i went back to school (at 44) and some days i swear these kids .....

but yes it helps to have a schedule to go OUT and be with other people.

feel free to ask me about back to school as an adult.

I think having a schedule and my own goals will help me. But I honestly doubt I will find much social interaction. I will be 27 years old going in as a freshman with 18-19 year olds. I have 2 kids and am married. I don't care for going out to clubs or bars. My life and interests will be different than a single person in their late teens/early 20s. I am just sick of people acting like going back to school will solve all my problems and make my life complete. It is almost insulting. It is like telling me my life is not good enough right now. And if people think so much of school, do they think I even need my family?

nod. i work at home, and its tough. i also have physical issues so going out is hard to do... its very isolating.
this is why so many of us join LJ or Ravelry, or facebook.. to have a social outlet of SOME kind

do you have an SCA group near you?
society for creative anachronism.. medieval re creation group.. they have textile geeks and costume geeks and people who fight with armor and people who perform period (historical) music....
