Isolation
|
Isolation I've experienced a form of isolation since the 16th of June since receiving radioactive iodine treatment for an overactive thyroid. One small pill, one long time to be cut off from loved ones. Not long in the grand scheme of things, I know, but it's certainly been a long few weeks. No prolonged contact with anyone since the 16th, although I'm delighted to report that tomorrow I can touch another human being, yay  I didn't realise I would miss human contact this much, and in a few different ways. From sex, to simple hugs and kisses from my adorable nephew, who, I suspect might be in love with me as much as I'm in love with him  Due to him being only five years old I can't see him until Tuesday, but he's all set to jet off on his holidays with his parents so we'll have to wait another week before seeing each other. We've chatted on Skype; you've got to love when a five year old Skypes you from his own account, haha. I've toured the tent he's set up in his bedroom from the comfort of my own bed as we blew kisses to each other and tried to outdo each other on the "how much I love you" front! Me; "I love you to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond, and forever and always!" Him; "Well...I love you to the moon and stars and all the planets and back and then back up to the moon and round all the planets and to infinity and back again forever!"...you can't beat that! My extremely handsome, sexy FWB, Matt - a relationship which appears to be heading in a more serious direction - another story for another day. Now that's been difficult. He visits, he can't come near me, he can't touch me, he can't kiss me, he can't hold me...oh, it was painful! We mutually agreed it would be easier for him not to visit for a few days as it was driving us both nuts not being able to touch each other  Add to that, that I had my second viral infection in just under three weeks and felt beyond crappy and couldn't even enjoy my time off work, well, it's been a pretty miserable two weeks. And I'm not really one to do the whole "woe is me" thing, but I'm only human (yes, it's true!) and there are times when even I feel sorry for myself, haha. I know that's wrong, though, as this is no big deal, but it got me to thinking  I enjoy my own company. I'm one of those people who will make a point of spending time on my own. I'm one of those people who needs and enjoys my own space. Time to do what I want, when I want. I've always been that way and I don't foresee that changing anytime in the near future. Not many people I know understand that; mostly people who are married. But I wouldn't trade my life for theirs. I did not enjoy the little period of isolation I experienced. I guess I have the luxury of selective isolation. I don't feel sad when I'm alone by choice. But I must admit, I did feel a little sad this past two weeks. I'm sure emotions were heightened due to being unwell over and above not having any physical contact with loved ones. On the upside, I did get to enjoy my third love...music  So, do you feel isolated sometimes? All the time? Does it bother you? Or have you accepted it and/or adapted your life/lifestyle to living that way? Do you wish you had more contact with people or are you happy with your lot, so to speak. Do you feel social media adds to your isolation - or to isolation in general - or maybe it helps you? I would hope that if any of us know someone who lives in isolation, for whatever reason, we'd make the effort to include them in our lives, even in some small way. It's usually the small things that make all the difference. And, yes, I have missed having sex...a lot! And I mean that in both ways, haha. I've missed having a lot of sex, and I've missed having sex...a lot! That all changes on Monday when Matt returns, and I honestly can't wait. While I still don't feel 100% due to the viral infection, I'm sure by Monday I'll be fighting fit, or die trying  I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend, whatever you're doing, whether you're alone or with someone    "I'm always disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually catch on fire..." |

One of my friends had the radioactive treatment too, and she's just fine now. I think her cat went through the same thing too, later on. I haven't experienced much isolation in a long time; I've been in relationships for years, with few breaks in between them. But even being away from my partners has been rough, and social media doesn't help much. However, when I was unattached, social media (such as it was back then) did help. I learned some social skills that were useful for in-person interactions, and helped me get over the shyness of my youth. Finally, my mother has a newspaper cartoon clipping similar to the first one you shared, and she doesn't even do any social media, unless you count e-mailing family and in-person friends.

That's a "OMG I LOVE this song!" if ever I saw one, great pic Being so poorly while you're dealing with being isolated from your loved ones must have been tough,that really sucks! I hope you're all better now and good luck with the results!! I know you don't need luck with the sex

I love alone time myself, everyone should get some of that. Isolation isn't something anyone would choose for any length of time. For some more than a day is enough. I'm sorry you had to go through this. I would have hugged you anyway despite you glowing in the dark Everything crossed you don't need to go through this again! Have a healthy, sexy week

What a horrible time you've been having lately. I hope the treatment has worked and you don't need a second course of radio iodine - knowing what to expect the second time around won't make it any easier, so fingers crossed for good news when you get your results Have a fab time tomorrow!

Twelve days probably doesn't sound like much to some people to not have any physical contact with anyone (not talking about sex), but it is, and I'm glad you're finally through it and I hope you start to feel more like yourself very soon! I enjoy my time alone. It gives me a chance to relax, choose what I want to do with my time and not have to answer to anyone; to me that's freedom. Social media can work for and against isolation I think. A person who is isolated might rely too much on social media to communicate with people they've never met (and probably won't meet either) and give up on real people and real social situations. I think it has a lot to answer for on one hand, and on the other hand, for those of us who have fairly normal social lives (whatever that might be) it's just another "thing" we do in our lives, a hobby if you will. Have a great time tomorrow and if you're still feeling poorly I'm sure Matt will be gentle with you For now here's a hug to keep you going seeing as they're allowed today

Oh no, you poor thing! My aunt went through this a few years ago and her kids were very young and they all had to come and stay with my family. The kids thought they had been bad or something and didn't understand why they couldn't hug their own mummy! It was really hard on my aunt and my wee cousins. Worse still she had to get the treatment a second time as it didn't work the first time, so I hope you're not in that percentage!! Being isolated is similar to getting your freedom taken away in some respects, I know I would find it very hard to cope with and I'm sorry you had to go through that Holly. It's something we all take for granted until it's taken away from us and can be tough going and I'm sure having a viral infection didn't help any! I have a very elderly neighbour whose relatives all live pretty far away and only visit every other weekend. I always check she's okay and get her some bits and bobs at the supermarket if she needs it. I'll stay for a cup of coffee and a chat because you can tell she feels lonely not having anyone to visit her all week. So yeah, we should all make that little bit of effort to make someone feel less isolated. Have fun tomorrow and I hope you feel much much better soon

You need to get your hands on some lead-lined condoms - indispensable when meeting people from this site

Sorry to hear you've not been well - I noticed you've been quieter and less effervescent than normal on here - I just assumed you were getting on with doing up your house. One thing I do know about people from Glasgow thanks to soft drinks adverts from my childhood is that you're all made from girders and not to be trifled with so you'll be back on top form soon I think if you're a resilient and well rounded person you can cope with a few days by yourself, no problem. But man is a social animal so it's going to gnaw away at your soul if you're alone for a long time, especially if it's not by choice. I hope your friends/family have been looking after you, even from a distance. As for sex, if I had my way I'd have sex every day several times a day so I have to compromise on that now we're living in civilisation - despite the fact that I look like a caveman I know I can't hit you over the head with my club and drag you into a hedge and ravish you. Sounds like a fellow Matt is in for a treat when you get the green light to get back in the saddle.  Get well soon!!!

I can't say that I prefer isolation, but even in a relationship I do require some of it. Social media can make me feel either way. One site shows me with 4000 followers, and another just 75. I hope you feel better and can get plenty of sex very soon! Aut viam inveniam aut faciam Tips for Guys to Meet Women  Things i miss most about relationships

I'm sorry to hear about your ailment- and forced isolation. I felt isolated most of my life, as did my wife, until we met. We're two misfits who fit perfectly together. We have long periods where we don't need to speak, like when we're hiking in the woods, and just sitting and reading or playing online, but we're rarely separated for long, and when we are, it hurts.

You know, this is how people gain superpowers. Smart as a horse and hung like Einstein.

I knew I could rely on you, Koffla Don't take it until tomorrow, though, when I presume I'll be less radioactive, haha. [image] "I'm always disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually catch on fire..."
