Hi I’m new

I’m new to this group and thought I’d reach out as I’ve been struggling to find much support these days. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on dealing with loneliness? I just feel like it’s so hard for me to make any sort of deep connections with anyone even people I’ve known for a long time. It’s made me super depressed and anxious because I feel like I need a substantial change but don’t know what it is I need to fix.

You may very well be in the right place. Search around here about different people's topics/feelings/etc and see if it seems like the right fit.

I hear that. The person I’m closest to currently is a complete stranger on Facebook I have been chatting to for 3 weeks lol. I can’t talk to people I know. No one seems to understand. It’s definetly lonely x

Have you found anything that helps?

I started keeping a short journal each night. Just to get it on paper. I have found it hard to think about how I feel, apart from now. And everyone wants to know when did this start, when did this change, how was that pill ect. It’s kind of nice to talk to yourself about how you are feeling 🤷‍♀️

Hi odservy and welcome!

Now you are definitely not alone. You will find lots of people here who can relate.

I understand you very well. I talk to people, I don't have social anxiety, but I feel lonely despite that.

You can be in a room full of people, but still be alone, because no one understands you. That's what I usually feel.

You're not alone! Going through the same thing and decided to come here. I'm going to check out a support group that meets close to home as well

I’m hoping the best for you! My school is offering a social confidence group that I’m going to join as well.

I understand. There are seasons when I have felt the same way. A book was recommended to me, and I think it might help you. bit.ly/2lQzyxp "Connected" gives you a sense you are not alone, and loneliness can be only for a season. Hope this helps!

Thank you I’ll definitely check that out! This has been an issue for me since high school and has steadily gotten worse and I’m almost done uni now.
