How do I deal with the loneliness?

[mindofmoss]

It’s too much now, I feel so alone and so anxious, it’s like I feel like I’m going to break or explode, I don’t have the energy to be normal, I hate being this desperate for connection, it just hurts too fucking much. How do I deal with this? I need strangers to talk to that aren’t afraid of me. This is unbearable. I’ve tried looking for some online support groups. Can someone recommend me some good ones?

Patience brother. We all have pain and try to keep our mind busy.try to bread deeply. Watch a movie. Listen to music. It’s a terrible disease.

I'm feeling you. I'm actually struggling with the exact problems of you plus a major psychological trauma and emotional hurting because of my father and brothers. They caused and still causing me a lot of pain ,I'm always messed up emotionally I can't think of anything I'm just depressed and always cry. I can't think of the good side of life, I don't think of myself my future or anything else I'm just drowned in despair. I don't know what to do either, I'm a silent person most of the time I didn't find someone who understands me yet. I feel completely lonely even around people who I care about, it just feels like there's a hole inside my heart and it's taking over it piece by piece till there's nothing left... But I see that the most important thing is that WE ARE HERE reaching for help for aid ,to be heard and understood, and some day I believe we will be ourselves again and live our lives...

I feel you, it hurts so much that this is the experience that’s going through our heads, I don’t know if any human ever understands any other human, I think the emotions are to big for that yet they remain invisible; that’s what hurts. I don’t know how comfort translates to other brains that aren’t comforted, but I hope for strength and if possible; change, for both of us. Thanks again for the response.

I really wish for a change and improvement. I'll pray for a better life for both of us and everyone else here...❤❤

I like the Mind of Moss moniker - I hear you about the loneliness, before covid at least I could talk to a person here or there at a coffee shop or walking in my neighborhood but now those opportunities are gone and it’s hard dealing with anxiety and staying in most of the time. I called an emotional hotline once when it became unbearable, I am lucky though because I do have a group that meets every two week in zoom for our common metal health disorder. I think that is a good place to look to see if there are any groups specific to your issue. If not there are some real great people here to message with.
