sorry but i don't put much stock in what some of these so called scientist have to say... especially studies of this nature... human beings are three fold... mental/physical/spiritual... and any study that does not address all three facets is incompetent and incomplete...

i try to limit most of what say as it relates to my experience... and as i grow older i find it very hard to swallow what the scientific/medical/political so called organizations are trying to push...

the feeling of being alone is only a feeling... an emotion... it only exists in ones mind... however... that in itself points to where the problem really lies... and what a powerful part mental health has to play on our physical health... and the cure for being both mentally and physically healthy stems from a healthy connection to ones inner most core... by striving to stay in touch with the spirit/soul that dwells within... that is the part of us that very few scientist have ever been aware of... and most are not even willing to even consider that it might exist...

but from my experience... of what i have observed... females have horrible issues with extreme fluctuations of hormones which can and often does drive them literally out of their minds/crazy... such as hot flashes... panic attacks... and so on... it must be like being on an emotional sky rocket... and the only thing we men can do is try to love them as best we can till it passes...

also we learn to duck...

lol...

God bless em...

VERY interesting, very interesting, indeed!

I know that whenever I hit a truly, truly lonely patch that is when my faith helps me the most. I am never really "ALONE". :o)
