ALLAH AL-ATHEEM created everything. Therefore ALLAH AL-ATHEEM created the earth and everything in the earth and created all of the heavens and everything in all of these heavens and created all of the hells and everything in all of these hells and created all of the universes and everything in all of these universes and created everything in between them.

I wasn't lonely when I first started using ummah forum, but I've had to deal with a lot of loneliness since becoming ill as most of my "IRL" friends disappeared from my life- almost none of them came to visit and I stopped getting phone calls from them several years ago. On average I had a visitor pop round maybe once in six months to see how I was doing and that was it- now I don't even get that.
Having said that, I feel my situation has given me the best possible preparation for the lockdown. I'm pretty much housebound anyway, so used to not going out and used to not getting visitors. In a lot of ways, things are very business as usual as the past 10 years have been pretty much involuntary quarantine for me. In fact I find it amusing all those snowflakes crying because they can't go to the pub, their friends can't come round and they can't go outside. Maybe if I were younger and had my health I'd be upset like them, but now I'm like welcome to my world and stop being such a cry baby.The Lyme Disease pandemic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5u73ME4sVU

I think, for me, it's a distraction from loneliness. It helps. Very much a help in keeping the mind going.
I came to the conclusion, a very long ago, it's not the same as human interaction in real world, which is needed. I'm an introverted person but I still like company at times.
But everybody is different.

Yes. I haven't really dealt with it in the best way. I have no drive...for anything, be it deen or dunya. I really needed someone to love me, it just never happened. I don't achieve anything. I hardly even make dua and when I do, I'm not sure ........
