I need some reassurance. I've been alone because of covid for 8 mos. Before that for 6mos because of depression anxiety and high blood pressure and heart problems.
I don't have any close family here. The friends I have know I have depression but they never ask how I'm doing or I rarely hear from them anymore. I thought I was getting used to being completely alone but it's really getting to me today. Ive tried to reach out and make some new acquaintances but it never works out , that hurts me even more and i feel rejected.
My heart feels broken. Like no one will ever care about me.

Hey you’re not alone! While this virtual community can’t give you a hug or spend physical time with you, we’re here for you. I understand how frustrating it is to have friends and family that don’t understand mental health. For people without mental health it’s not something they have to think about to check in, and making new friends is hard and just takes time. My best friend and I were in the same class for an entire year but we didn’t start hanging out until that summer was over. I hope you feel better soon! And feel free to message me if you just want to talk or vent!
I'm so sorry that today is hard. Just remember that we will have bad days, that experiencing bad days is perfectly normal. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that.
You’re here now! There are always people on the internet ready to talk and support you. I’m sorry you’ve been alone this whole time. I know what that’s like, but not during a pandemic like this. Online communities and servers have helped me a lot these past few months.
You are still here, still fighting, and before long, things will change. It’s totally normal to get discouraged, even if it takes a long time to pick yourself up. I know “feel your feelings” is cliche but....really that’s all you can do, or the feelings never change. You can use isolation to your advantage in this respect- you can sit with your feelings, and not be self-conscious of someone seeing you cry, scream, punch a pillow, hug yourself, whatever.
You’ll get through this. We all will. I may be an internet stranger but I’m rooting for you no matter what.
I'm in a similar position to you and I found a hobby that more or less acts as a substitutue for the social life I had before corona virus happened (it's not as good mind you) but it does help.
I dont know what generation you come from so this may sound strange to you if you're older but, I've found online multiplayer videogames have been a great way to keep having fun with some of my friends and a good way to imitate having a weekend social life. Especially with platforms like Discord that let you have virtual hangouts with your friends while you play games.
If you dont already play games or if you dont know much about them so I just want to say not all games are competative, there are many collaborative games out there that are fun (like Minecraft). If that sounds like something that you'd like to look into, Id be happy to help you figure out how to set that up.
P.S. I dont know if you like Roleplaying but collaborative storytelling games like Dungeons and Dragons are really fun and can be easily played over most conferencong softwere (Zoom, Discord Etc.). You just need to learn the learn the rules and you can play. (Yes I am a huge nerd).
Thank you all for being there for me today. It means so much to me. I was able to go out to an outdoor concert for a few hours and sit alone on purpose to stay safe. Saw alot of people who I used to hang with but never heard from again after I got sick a year ago.Feeling better thanks to this great group.
I may need yall Thanksgiving and Christmas. I will be alone.
I just came across your post and I’m here for you if you wanna chat -please reach out !!💞💞💞💞I hate to think of you soo alone like that!! I feel this a lot myself and even having ppl around at times you can still feel quite lonely!! We all need to feel and give love it’s a human thing!! So yes please keep reaching out on here and as I said feel free to pm on here or msg here whatever you prefer!🌻🌸🦋some Warm hugs and caring thoughts I’m sending your way-(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))!!!!☺️
I have had times were I feel like that too, it takes allot of exploring as to why you are feeling like that. Utube has videos about feeling lonely and depressed. I found them helpful to understand it. You must learn how to be kind and loving to yourself. I talk to a therapist as well. He says I am too hard on myself. I also realize I can't change the past and must believe in myself to handle the future. I have a son that lives so far and only a few friends around but still feel lonely. Be your own best friend first.
Thank you so much for your thoughts. I feel for you and I think you are great. I had no idea how you were feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I can't wait until this pandemic is over. Give yourself a big hug for me. 💐
Maryblue,Im sorry to hear of your lack of communication and I too Im in the same boat,infact Im sure there are many on this site who feel the same way,yet hold back,at present Im going through the sheer hell of knowing Im a helluva lot better than Iwas a year ago,however Covid does dampen any new ideas and there seems no way out of it--Talking is what I prefer ,and so few of us can relate ;you have contacted me several times and I always try to respond...we all need to think ,and try and understand peoples reticence or whatever they say,,,,,,,it makes me wonder !!
